# Crowdsourced Camera Straps Peak Design's Slide Strap Attaches and Detaches for Quick Removal By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-05-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-strap References: [peakdesign](https://peakdesign.com/store/slide) & [peakdesign](https://peakdesign.com/store/slide-summit-edition) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Crowdsourced Camera Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more camera accessories that are designed with input from users to ensure functionality and ease of use. - **Modular Camera Straps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create camera straps that allow for easy attachment and detachment, providing convenience for photographers. - **Customizable Camera Strap Colors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer camera straps in a variety of colors that are chosen by customers, allowing for personalization and brand differentiation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop camera accessories that enhance the user experience and address pain points, such as difficult strap detachment. - **Crowdsourcing Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms that enable companies to gather user input and feedback on product design, ensuring improved functionality and user satisfaction. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with camera accessory brands to produce comfortable and stylish materials for camera straps, appealing to photographers who value both functionality and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Hybrid Camera Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quimera-camera-strap.md) - [Compact Camera Hand Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peak-design-micro-clutch.md) - [Harness-Style Camera Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-strap-sport.md) - [Magnetic DSLR Camera Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swiftlock-camera-carrying-system.md) - [Innovative Camera Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-camera-carrier.md) - [Travel Photographer Accessory Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotastrap-and-rotalock.md) - [Smartphone Photographer Sling Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiftcam-workflow-sling.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Photography Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoulder-camera-strap.md) - [Adjustable Phone Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling.md)
