Which Peak Design Camera Strap is Right for You?

A good strap keeps your camera comfortable, secure, and ready.

The quick answer

Choose Slide for a heavier full-frame kit, Slide Lite for most mirrorless cameras, Leash for a lighter, minimal sling, Cuff for a pocket camera or hand-held safety, and Clutch for secure one-handed shooting with a larger camera.

Our all-round recommendation: comfortable, versatile, and less bulky than Slide.

Leash, Cuff, or Clutch

Choose Leash for a slim cross-body strap, Cuff for wrist security, or Clutch for a firm hand hold.

Peak Design straps, simply explained

Full-size carrySlide

Peak Design Slide

Best for full-frame cameras and heavier lenses

Slide is Peak Design's broadest strap. Its 1.8-inch internally padded nylon webbing is designed for comfort with larger mirrorless or DSLR kits. Wear it as a sling, shoulder strap, or neck strap; use the smooth side when you want the camera to slide to your eye, or the silicone-grip side when you want it to stay put.

Peak Design Slide Lite

Best all-round strap for mirrorless cameras

Slide Lite keeps the same quick-release Anchor Link system and three carry positions as Slide in a narrower, lighter package. At 1.3 inches wide, it is an excellent match for most mirrorless cameras and smaller DSLR kits-enough comfort for all-day use without overwhelming a compact body.

Peak Design Leash

Best for light cameras, travel, and a clean cross-body setup

Leash is a slim, twist-resistant strap that can be worn around the neck, over the shoulder, or cross-body. Its Anchor Links let you remove the camera quickly for tripod work or switch the strap between cameras. Use the included Anchor Mount with a camera's 1/4-inch-20 thread to help the camera hang forward at your hip.

Wrist securityCuff

Peak Design Cuff

Best for compact cameras and worry-free hand-held shooting

Cuff is a simple wrist strap that gives you a secure connection without a neck or shoulder strap. Its sliding buckle adjusts around the wrist, while the Anchor Link lets you detach it quickly. When it is not on your camera, Cuff can be worn as a bracelet with a magnetic closure.

Peak Design Clutch

Best for secure one-handed control on larger cameras

Clutch wraps around your hand to keep the camera secure while preserving access to controls. It uses a tension clip and Anchor connection, includes an Arca-type compatible quick-release plate, and works with or without a battery grip. It is especially useful for photographers who keep a camera in hand for long periods.
