Review on Peak Design SL-AS-3 Slide Camera Strap Ash: Premium Comfort for Photographers by Darryl Pendall

Peak Design Ash Slide Camera Strap SL-AS-3 (Ash). First of all I want to say that I don't want to write reviews but for me this product is worth it for the good feeling I got after buying it and using it. The product arrived very quickly in the country of Colombia and the packaging was fully sealed and in perfect condition. Before purchasing this product, I felt tired while wearing heavy lenses and felt very uncomfortable after hours of walking or hiking due to the position of my oldest strap on my shoulder, neck or even back. I am excited about this Peak Design Sliding Strap for many reasons, but mainly for these reasons: - The thickness of this strap is perfect for me. It seems very wide when wearing prime lenses, but the feel is perfect. I prefer this wide strap for long hours in the mountains, the camera doesn't bother you after a walk or a hike. The interchangeable links are perfect and very versatile. You can easily change the position of the strap depending on the situation and attached lens/or even flash. As you can see from my photos, the long and heavy 70-200 lens fits perfectly in the right position, on its side, and I can easily access the camera to shoot without removing the strap. The vertical position for taking pictures is very comfortable. Now the correct link is attached under the camera and the strap no longer interferes with taking photos, it was awesome! - quick removal of the strap is important to me, because I lie on the ground when taking pictures or when I'm at home I like to use the camera without a strap. Or even when using a tripod for landscapes or portraits, the strap often interferes with my fine camera control, so I can now easily take it off and put it back on. When I remove the strap from the camera I can connect the strap to itself using the 4th remaining lace link of the construction (4 links included). This is great for preventing the strap from falling off your neck when you detach the camera from the limbs. The belt pouch can be used to store a lens or even a camera. For me it fits perfectly with my Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera. The tripod mount can be easily moved from the camera to the lens mount, and you can even connect it under the camera and attach the tripod plate to the lens mount (as you can see in my photos). - When I remove the strap, the links keep the camera aesthetic and I can use it smoothly. Ideal for hiking and photography. In general, the goods are worth their money. Not a cheap product but you protect your expensive camera so it's great value for money. Many Thanks.
