Review on Peak Design Slide Lite Mirrorless Camera Strap - Black by Ted Slaughter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice but rough around the edges

Let me first say that I would like to give this product a 3.5 star rating, but it is not an option and I hope people will do so before purchasing read. I bought this strap for my Sony A7Riii after seeing many rave reviews of the strap on YouTube. In general, the processing quality seems to be good, but on the one hand even too good because the material is not flexible. As you can see from one of my photos, the stiffness of the straps tends to open large loops that sometimes make the strap unwieldy. Another small issue is that the locks also tend to slip when walking with the heavy lens, they look like aluminum but could be plastic. When I wear the strap I find it very comfortable, but I really don't like being able to just fold it up and put it in my bag. They recently had a recall for anchor knobs so I went online to get a replacement. It took a long time to receive and when they shipped it (can't believe it, but I scanned the receipt from the post office) they sent it with insufficient postage so I had to go to the post office and collect my package. pay what was due, about $5. It's ok I paid but I feel like the company probably has growth issues or disorganization but I still like that they are developing innovative products. So one limitation with new anchors, at least on my A7Riii, is that without the use of these metal ferrules the material will no longer go through the grommets. Not only do I feel that the metal clips aren't very strong, but in the wind when you're recording videos they rattle and make noise, not that I use the built-in microphone often, but when you do you can hear it clearly . I thought of cutting one of the button threads so it was thread and then tying a knot at the end, but I'm not sure the material will hold the knot securely.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Approximately
