    Similar to the 'standard' strap but way more useful. Quick release bits and ability to make longer and shorter on the fly is great. Useful if you want length to drop at the hip and pick up quickly but usually that's too long to walk-around generally.

    Great strap. Not cheap but I rate it. Pretty sure I paid a fair bit more than (couple years ago).

    Recommended. Good quality straps, quick to adjust, soft, not stiff like some cheap nylon ones. I got the Leash for around $55 delivered from a Digidirect/eBay 20% off sale. Liked it enough to buy a different colour one couple months later.

    use it with a plate, strap both end to the camera's ears usually end up camera with an awkward position (screen side hitting your hip)
    by switching one end of the mounting to the base plate (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2986/1172/products/clutch-…), although depend how big the lens is, usually this will end up with a much nicer result.

    • The base plate is included. I used that but then need to unscrew it if I need to use a tripod.

      • Depends on the tripod head I guess. The standard plate works with anything arca swiss compatible for me (The dual plate will be required to work with manfrotto tripods).

  • +1

    These are expensive but absolutely worth it in my opinion. I have the Leash and the Slide.

    I use and recommend the cuff as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/124276108663 which is self closing around your wrist if the camera slips out of your hand. Sometimes it’s more convenient than dangling strap when you walk around using one hand for spontaneous snap shot or have to take it in and out of your bag often.

    • The cuff is absolutely worth a buy- so well designed.

    • +1

      I used the cuff way more often than the slide lite, and now i am going to place an order for the leash.

    • I stopped using my V1 cuff because it was so hard to take on and off. This new design looks much better.

  • The buckle only helps to pull, it doesn't lock. I used to have that strap, but don't like the camera unprotected.

    If you use a appropriately sized messenger bag, the camera is just as accessible while fully protected, and with rooms for other stuff.

    • apple to orange.

      • True :D These straps are very popular, so obviously people like them.

    • +1

      I use a slide on my A7III and do not see how a messenger bag is at all a comparable alternative. When shooting street, I often shoot when the camera is down near my hip, I can't do that with a messenger bag. There is no way a camera is just as accessible.

      That said, I also don't worry about it being protected, so I guess just different use-cases. I would rather the camera be out and ready to take a shot at all times,the camera is a tool, and it takes what it takes to get the shot.

      • Guess it depends on the design of the bag, simple designs like Thinktank's Retrospective are really that quick, especially for smaller lenses. Telephoto lenses will struggle in and out of bags, they work better with straps from Blackrapid.

        • +1

          I'm more of a backpack than messenger bag person, so I don't have much experience. But I still can't see how a messenger bag is possibly anywhere near close to as quick as having the camera already out and on. Looking at the Thinktank bag you recommend, it still requires opening up the bag, grabbing the camera, and positioning it, rather than it being on a strap, already positioned and ready to fire.

          • @witheredcouch: Unless you are already holding the camera with the desired settings anticipating something is about to happen, chances are it is on a strap by your hip, you still have to reach out then position the camera and do whatever adjustments necessary. The strap doesn't turn the camera into ready to shot mode. Basically the same motions with a messenger bag, yes there's a flap, but no strap getting into your way, especially when you turn the camera between landscape and portrait. When you are done, put the camera back into the bag ready for next deployment. Then go enjoy a coffee without having to think where to put the strapped camera. :D

            • @browser: I guess if I have a camera on a strap, I will have it on, in appropriate settings, as that is the whole reason I have it out. If I'm travelling or shooting streets, i'll be walking around for hours, and the potential shot may be split second moment so I have the camera ready to fire at all times. I am also a neck strapper not a shoulder strapper, so the camera will be on my front not side, but I get your point. It's just different use-cases I guess.

    • +1

      That's such an irrelevant comparison. How does the messenger bag protect your camera if someone carelessly bumps the camera out of your hand?

      • Do you shoot with 1 hand? The chance of camera swinging around knocking into hard objects is higher. Every time you want to sit down you have to remember to shorten the strap before you camera knocks the chair or concrete bench.

        • Not the OP, but yes? I typically shoot with one hand unless manual focusing as I shoot almost entirely with primes so no zoom required..

          • @witheredcouch: Fair enough if you only shoot freeze frames. If you want to capture any kind of motion, even at 1/200, you will need both hands.

        • I usually position my camera at the front of my body with the strap so accidental knocking is not an issue. I also use a Lowe pro sling bag, but find using the strap more convenient if my shoots are frequent and spontaneous. So I have main camera with zoom on strap and the less frequent-use camera (manual prime lens for specific Bokeh shots) in sling bag on the other side. Everyone to their own.

        • +1

          How I shoot is irrelevant. You are trying to compare transport protection and usage protection. Someone rode their bicycle into me while I was shooting and knocked the camera out of my hand. It swung around and hit my hip heavily, but didn't do any damage. If I only had a messenger bag, my camera or lens or both would have broken.

          You know, it's possible to use both straps and bags. A bag is not a replacement for a strap.

          It's ridiculous to suggest they must be mutually exclusive of each other.

          • @NoApostrophePlurals: Not saying they are mutually exclusive, was just expressing my experience with camera straps in general. Yes, you can use a strap and a bag, but the strap just becomes extra bulk in the bag. Yes, you can remove the strap, but even with the quick release anchors, it takes time to do 2 anchors and to store the strap.

            That said, I do use a Blackrapid during active photo shoots when using larger lenses, to have a bit of rest in between shots.

            • @browser: I don't know why you're packing your camera so tightly into a bag that the strap doesn't fit. It's not that space consuming. That sounds like the problem is you chose a bag too small. Use a bigger bags next time. One that's just 1cm bigger. Geez.

  • This strap feels like a million dollars. Easy to adjust and remove quickly.

    Great for travelling too.

  • +2

    Ok got this now I am 100 bucks short of my new camera

  • I have the slide lite, prefect for regular mirrorless body with a standard zoom lens, well worth the money

  • Best straps

  • I use a Blackrapid or no strap even with a D5. If you spend more than $100 might as well look into it.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/BlackRapid-Breathe-Camera-Adjustab…

    • Nah the Peak Design straps have the Blackrapid ones beat.

      • Blackrapid is so last century (well the first decade of this century)…

    • I prefer blackrapid as well but it looks like they've done basically no innovating over the past decade. Their street sling was what I wanted but no one in australia sells it in black, only black + ugly yellow stripe. The blackrapid strap is thinner, but has a larger shoulder pad, which can be seen as a pro or a con.

      Decided to just go with the peak leash in black.

  • Great straps, very well made and makes carrying camera much more comfortable. I use with my EM10 MK2.

  • Bought, thanks

  • Thanks OP - I already have a Slide and a Slide Lite but wanted to grab the even lighter Leash Strap to try

  • was just thinking about buying a new strap and saw this - copped a slide in the sage colour

    cheers big ears

  • Recently got the Peak Design 6L sling which has the same strap material/mechanism as these and love it, just got the black slide lite strap now to go on the camera. Thanks!

  • bought one. Thanks OP

  • What configuration would be ideal working with 2 cameras?

    • I used to go with one over each shoulder, though it's not ideal for whichever strap is on the bottom. Maybe have a look into the blackrapid dual camera systems.

      • Suggest using the Spider dual holster system.

    Woo wow. Amazon have a version of this called Wanby, all for under $10. I've been using it for over 2 years and it is great quality and looks like the $80 version.

    • +1

      Link? I could only find generic Wanby camera straps that didn't have the same features or material. Didn't have much in common with this besides being also being a camera strap.

    • Ha, memory can trick me up. The great quality camera strap that looks the same IS actually the one recommended by the OP. I did have a Wanby strap but cant find it. The Peak Design slide is fine although the fastening elastic is too big for my Canon G7x.

  • I got one of these (Slide Lite) for my wife who's an avid photographer and she loves it. It's a great product that is well made and very simple and flexible to use.

    Recommended.

  • Personally prefer the Slide Lite over the Slide for my full frame DSLR because the Slide is too wide - the Lite is just right.

    • What sort of lenses do you have connected? I am tossing up on whether to get the Slide or Slide Lite.
      Have a Nikon D3300 with an 18-200 lenses connected most of the time. Not sure if this combo will be too heavy

      • I have a Slide and Slide Lite and have used both with my Nikon full frame D-SLR's and now my Nikon Z series kit (all with L brackets on) - I prefer the Slide Lite over the larger/wider Slide (typically even with full frame D-SLR/Nikon Z with 70-200/2.8). I've purchased the even lighter Leash Strap (essentially an even more "Lite" Slide Lite) to try with my Nikon Z setup

        • I purchased the lite for my nikon z, but it is still too wide. So i will buy the leash :)

      • I mostly use primes: 31, 43, 77, and 100 macro, but have used it with a 28-105mm too. Also my pancake 40mm XS for a really light combo.

  • Thanks OP. Going to give the Slide Lite a go with my R5.

    • +1

      Hope it's fireproof :)

  • Also good for monopod/tripod use as a safety against the camera not being secured, as the strap is long enough to go around your neck.

  • Thanks OP. Just picked up a Slide Lite.

  • dang, late to the party… slide lite in sage green OOS

  • Always wanted to try out the slide lite! Just bought one in black, thanks for posting trippy, appreciate it!

  • +1

    Very annoying they charge shipping per product, rather than per order

  • 80D with an 18-135mm, recommend a slide or slide lite?

  • Any reason why I should change the still functioning Nikon strap from my DSLR to one of these?

    • stopping Nikon from using you as a walking advertisement for them

  • Anyone had their order shipped yet?

    • Not yet unfortunately

    • Nope.

    • Nope here too. Should’ve tried for c&c

    • I got my Slide Lite almost straight away!

    • I received my blue Slide (full size version) a few days after ordering. Maybe it depends on which ones they have in stock.
