Peak Design Slide & Slide Light Camera Strap - Comparison & Review

In this video i talk about the incredible camera straps made by peak design; which are the slide and the slide light. I've used the peak design slide as my main camera strapped for years now and in this video I'm going to talk about both the regular full size slide and the slide light, because functionally they are the same strap design but just in a different size, but I will touch on the differences between them and my recommendations on which one would be best for you and if they are still a good purchase to buy.

Man, I really love the way you deliver information - calm and concentrated. Keep on going. Wish your channel a big success.

Great review. Really comprehensive and in-depth explanation of the differences between these straps beyond what PD’s site show is. Your videos are great and your calm demeanor pulls me along to the end.

Very useful video and love the calm tone of your voice. Not all that common these days on YouTube.

I actually prefer the seat belt look to the stitched pad look with heavy logo of other straps, stuff like Black Rapid and Optech reminds me of the 1980s. But I agree a Matt finish choice would be perfect! The Outer Shell range looked quite fun but I literally just received my Peak Design strap and Capture clip yesterday!

Came here to find the information that might persuade me into buying a Peak Design strap. You provided all of the information that helped me and would help others in making that decision. Thank you so much for presenting the information in a straight forward easy to understand manner. Oh, and I might be a new Peak Design customer in a few minutes. Where are you Amazon? 🙂

Good product and review.
That being said this is my point of view on what people think of photography tools.
First off its a tool. Its should be used as a tool and should look like it has been used like a tool.
Scratched, dinged, worn marks, and dirty. I, m 69 and been shooting 55 years.
Not one of bodies or lenses look pretty but I'm producing lovely images.
A large percentage of my customers never see my equipment or me, the ones that do not care. Its the end result that puts money in the bank.

Thanks dude. These have been on my wish list for years... one day.

[takecontrolcheif]

Thanks for the info. I've been looking at one of these but I didn't know which one to get. You helped me make up my mind. Great job!

[kamv]

Great overview of both of these straps. Thanks.

[chicster]

Excellent overview of the Slide andSlide Light Straps/Slings! Thanks much!

[GlennVividMedia]

You absolutely killed the comparison! Thanx

[Nualchemist]

Thank you Shane for your clear and simple explanation of comparison between the two straps. It really helped me decide which one to get.

[stylesmckenna]

Thanks for the video very to the point which I like I’ll be watching more of your reviews.

[dammitjim]

Great review! Still thinking whether to get the Slide or Slide Light, but your review is so informative that it definitely helps a lot in helping me make my decision. Thanks a bunch!

[ElBoyoElectronico]

I am trying hard to decide between the Slide and the Slide Lite. While I only use a Canon M50 with a 16mm Sigma lens, I really like my straps padded, since I am mainly going to use the strap for taking photos while hiking. I am on the bulkier side and don't mind the extra fabric, but I fear it might be a bit of an overkill.

Such a clear and comprehensive review! 👍

Very good review. Thank you. Have you ever reviewed the Peak wrist strap. I use this even more than my peak neck strap, providing security hanging over bridges, buildings or out of a high wing airplane. The thing that bugs me is how tough they are to loosen quickly and get off. It takes two hands to do it and invisible which side will slide, as the other side does not. Thinking there should be a marker or something. Cheers

[AntivistX]

Great review Shane!

I’m debating wether I should go with slide or slide light. I usually use a Sony A7iii with battery grip and 16-35 2.8 most of the time.
Which would you recommend for that setup?

[TehObLiVioUs]

OH THANKS, now I understand how they attach, NICE
okay think i'll get em

[AwakeningProcedure]

Thank you this helped me decide to purchase this
