Peak Design Slide Lite camera strap 32 mm wide (Black)

The Peak Design Slide Lite in black is a 32 mm wide camera strap, the slimmer alternative to the wider 45 mm Slide, just more compact. And yet it remains surprisingly versatile: you can wear it as a shoulder strap, neck strap, or sling strap, depending on how you’re out and about. It works really well for small DSLRs, and larger mirrorless cameras also sit securely without it immediately feeling like “too much strap.”

Something you quickly come to appreciate in everyday use: you can get to your camera quickly, the strap stays in a calm, stable carrying position, and it remains comfortable even over longer periods. 32 mm may not sound like much at first, but it distributes the weight nicely and helps prevent anything from digging in, even if you carry the camera for a while at a stretch.

Wearing comfort and material:

For the material, Peak Design relies on ballistic nylon with a tighter weave than the previous model. The fabric is somewhat reminiscent of a car seat belt: durable and tear-resistant, yet soft and smooth at the same time, so not that scratchy stuff that catches on jackets. The dual-sided design is also practical: one smooth side supports use as a sling strap so the camera glides cleanly to the front, and a more slip-resistant side is intended for the shoulder so the strap stays where you want it.

You can flexibly adjust the length from 99 to 145 cm. This is done via flip-out metal buckles that are easy to grab, even when you’re in a hurry or your fingers are cold. The adjustment buckles are made of plastic, the flip buckles of aluminum; overall the setup feels pleasantly well thought out.

Attachment system with anchor loops and quick connectors

To connect to the camera, the Slide Lite uses the secure attachment system with anchor loops and quick connectors. You click the strap in and out without having to thread it laboriously each time. This is especially practical if you want to quickly put the camera on a tripod or stow the strap in your backpack. The anchor loops can also be used with Magpul adapters, in case you have something like that in your setup.

As for load capacity: the strap is rated for up to 90 kg. That’s more than enough reserve, even if you’re using a heavier body and a substantial lens. And it still remains lightweight; at 104 g you don’t really notice it as additional weight, which, honestly, is exactly how it should be.
