Review on 📷 Peak Design Black Slide Camera Strap SL-2: Ultimate Support and Comfort for Photographers by Eric Amiradaki

Hipsters Launched on Kickstarter? That sentence alone sums up everything that's wrong with America today. I really wanted to hate that camera strap. I mean I really wanted to write that strap sucks. But I can't because it's a damn good product. Peak Slide is of high quality and at a reasonable price. It has many thoughtful features that make the strap comfortable, convenient, and easy to use. Is it perfect or the holy grail of camera straps? Oh no. But it's pretty good. It is roomy and can securely hold the heaviest cameras, has quick release buckles for quick camera detachment and shortening/extending the carrying strap. I really like that the shoulder pad is integrated into the strap and is not a separate shoulder pad that slides up and down the strap. Benefits * High quality materials * Efficient quick-release anchor connection system for quickly detaching camera from belt * Integrated padding on strap that fits snugly around shoulder * Gripping material on one side of strap to prevent it from slipping over shoulder * Quick-adjust buttons for lengthening or shortening strap * Anchor mount for attaching the bottom of the camera to the strap Cons* Anchor mount on the camera requires a hex key, which is easy to lose * The strap keeps getting crumpled when folded in the soft part * Anchor connections twist easily, leading to irritation and shortens the lifespan of the limb. Wishlist * Anchor links with 360 degree swivel connectors to prevent the cable from twisting the plate. I don't want to give the impression that my minor complaints (do we all have them?) about the strap make it a bad product. On the other hand. Peak Design Slide is very good. So good that it has become my go-to camera strap.
