I chose mine (Slide Lite) for the Nikon D7500 by considering the width of the strap in relation to the camera body. For his Nikond D810, my brother selected the Slide. Both of them appear to be attractive.

Selected User Reviews For Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap SLL-BK-3 (Black)
Original: It's fantastic and comfortable to use with a Sony A7R3 camera. On a 10- I was using my camera on a daily basis and taking it on all kinds of hikes while on a day trip out west to Moab, Bryce, and Zion National Parks. The strap was attached to the top left of the camera, and the Peak Design base plate was attached to the tripod socket on my Sony. The camera dropped from my shoulder and landed on the concrete sidewalk as I walked past the visitor center in Zion. The tripod socket's base plate had become unscrewed. (The camera appears to be in good working order, which I attribute in part to the rubberized body armor I wore. ) )br>br>Here's what I've come up with: The base plate is a fraction of the size of a tripod base plate. There's less surface area (and thus friction) to keep the plate from rotating over time, so the minor rotation (and my probably unconscious re-rotation) isn't as effective. The screw is eventually loosened by straightening the base plate. After that, history repeats itself. So here's what you'll have to do: br>br> br>br>Step One: That screw needs to be tightened! The Sony is known for having a tripod socket on its base that isn't the strongest. It's all right. Make it as tight as possible! br>br>Second Step: Keep an Allen Wrench in your camera bag at all times! You can't tighten the base plate with a nickel (as you can with tripod base plates), and you can't tell if it's loose by pressing your thumb on the screw's head and rotating it with friction. The wrench is a must. br>br>I deducted one star. I'm still satisfied with the overall level of quality. In less than two minutes, I was able to switch the sling to use the two attachment points on either side of the camera's top. The strap is in excellent condition. However, I wish the instructions included a bit more information about the base plate. br>br>(A friend has asked that you 'like' this review so that more people see my warning. ) It's painful to see an A7RIII that's only eight weeks old crash to the ground. )br>br>Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! Peterbr>br>- br>br>- br>br>- br>br>- br>br>- br>br>- br 8< - br>Review from the start: br>br>It's not cheap, but it's excellent. br>br>I'm using it with a Sony A7R3 and it's fantastic and comfortable to use. br>br>At 6'7", the strap is nearly at its maximum length, but it still sits comfortably on my hip in the'sling' configuration. br>br>One thing I didn't realize was that the camera body's attachment string has a red core. If the attachment string and disk are red, it's time to replace them. That was a brilliant idea.
This solution was beneficial. Keepers of the belt! My reservations stemmed from reports I read about the material's rigidity causing large, sloppy loops near the point where the straps double over at the connection point. When I tested this in the field, I discovered that it was indeed a problem. It was difficult to quickly attach the anchors to the anchor links due to the thickness of the material. It's unfortunate that a $50 product had to be modified in order to function properly, but it was crucial (see photos). br>br>I'm still worried about the aluminum adjuster rings scratching or dinging my gear when I store it in a bag, but I believe they can be removed. Perhaps the same belt keepers or a different material could be used to cover it. I have yet to put it to the test. Apart from these flaws, this shoulder strap is of excellent quality, and I would recommend it - if you don't mind having to change things around. Peak Designs has been informed of my concerns. They claim to be thinking about them for future products.
The straps at the bottom do not lay flat. When I put this strap on my Sony A7 III mirrorless camera, I was really looking forward to using it. According to all of the reviews, it is the best on the market, with unrivaled adjustability. br>br>However, most reviews (with the exception of Amazon reviewer CEBEP on May 02, 2018) ignore the "strap bulk" that occurs when you pick up the camera and hold it up to your eye. The straps are not flexible enough and tend to form an oval shape rather than lay flat, resulting in a large amount of bulk that is inconvenient. br>br>In the end, I returned it and replaced it with the camera's stock strap. *sigh*.
The T2 and the Sony a6000 are two of the most popular cameras on the market right now. The perfect width for a larger lens on a mirrorless body! If you're familiar with Peak Design, you're aware that they're a fast-growing company that pays attention to the people who use their products. It was primarily for the Fuji X-T1 that I purchased this. T2 Body and the 16-Minute Workout 55mm f2. It's an 8-lens camera, so it's a bit heavy. I also use it for my lighter Sony a6000 body because it comes with two pairs of connectors. The material is comparable to that of a seat belt, and I am confident that this strap will outlast the body for which it is intended. I like the quick release Anchors, and it's no surprise that they're popular in the market.
