Camera strap review:Peak Slide Lite.
Following Duck's advice I got a Peak Design Slide Lite for the X-T3 +
grip, and gave it its first try today. I can confirm that the narrower "lite" strap is fine for this combination. It's nicely finished, but so it should be at the price. IMHO it is only just long enough over an ordinary coat, and might be short with a thick skiing-type jacket. I'm 180 lbs so not particularly large. With the adjustment clips right up against the connector, and the two toggle thingies in the single bar on the bottom of the grip, it is a little cluttered around the right hand in portrait mode. I might experiment with a secondary loop of good rigging cord. So I think I would rate it OK to Good, but not outstanding. It comes with a couple of spare toggle thingies, and two nice narrow split loops to go on the standard strap fixings. Also a screw plate to go into the tripod socket, to take the toggles. Personally I can't see myself ever attaching to the tripod socket, unless with an adaptor plate with a socket in it (or perhaps an Arca fitting). I will carry on experimenting though. I will try fitting one end to the grip, the other to one of the normal fittings. Probably worth saying I would normally only carry a compact around the neck, once you get to the size of X-series with a standard lens I much prefer a diagonal strap. And I now *never* carry a neck-length strap over one shoulder, after dropping the X-E1 and 10-24 on the stone floor of a museum, half removing the mount from the lens. I was pleasantly surprised to find the repair less than £200. |
