Camstrap Voyager vs Peak Design Slide and Capture: an honest comparison
Peak Design makes two popular ways to carry a camera: the Slide (and Slide Lite) sling strap, and the Capture clip that holds the camera on a backpack strap or belt. The Camstrap Voyager is a third approach: a 75 g strap worn over both shoulders. Below are the facts from each brand's own product pages, then our honest view of who should pick which.

How they differ in use
Camstrap Voyager vs Slide. The Slide is a wide, adjustable sling: the camera's weight rides on one shoulder. The Voyager sits on both shoulders with a neck pad and holds the camera close to your body, which is the point of a strap developed by a physiotherapist to relieve neck and back pain. The Voyager is lighter (75 g against 148 g); the Slide is wider and has a lifetime warranty against the Voyager's 5 years.
Camstrap Voyager vs Capture. Capture is not a strap. It locks the camera rigidly onto a backpack strap or belt, so it suits people who always wear a pack, and needs something to clamp onto. It needs a plate in the tripod socket (which also fits Arca-type tripod heads). The Voyager works with or without a bag, and with Camstrap's Nomad and Satellite backpacks it clips straight to the pack.
Who should pick which
- Pick the Camstrap Voyager if you want the camera on both shoulders rather than one, the lightest strap here, one strap for a camera and binoculars, or a way to carry two cameras with one strap. It costs €42 and orders over €65 ship free.
- Pick the Peak Design Slide or Slide Lite if you prefer a classic adjustable sling on one shoulder, and you value a lifetime warranty.
- Pick the Peak Design Capture if you always hike or ride with a backpack and want the camera locked on the shoulder strap, ready to go onto an Arca-type tripod head.
- Wearing the camera all day with heavier kit? Compare the Camstrap Trek harness (€42).
