Finding that many camera accessories make it difficult to separate the device from the strap, the Slide strap by Peak Design was developed. With its patent pending Anchor Link system, Slide quickly connects and disconnects up to 200 pounds with ease. The Slide strap itself is formed from a comfortable padded seatbelt-style material, making it possible for the strap to be worn around the neck, shoulders or as a sling, ideal for photographers on the go.
Just as the versatile camera sling strap found its roots on Kickstarter last summer, Peak Design is releasing a special Slide Summit Edition this year. These new colors pay were chosen by fans as part of a vote, paying tribute to the Tallac and Lassen mountains.
