Combining precision engineering with understated style, the latest releases from Peak Design are built for photographers who value both form and function. Alongside the elegant new Form Straps comes the all-new Field Plate—an intuitive, tool-free camera plate that’s as clever as it is convenient.
Peak Design, a name synonymous with forward-thinking design and robust construction in camera carry and everyday gear, has unveiled a new line of minimalist camera straps and a reimagined, tool-free mounting plate.
The Form Strap Series
The new Form straps are available in both rope and leather, representing Peak Design’s most refined take on simplicity and craftsmanship to date.
The Form straps distill a decade of design evolution into a clean, seamless experience. Built around Peak Design’s trusted Anchor Link quick-connect system, they feature ultra–low-profile hardware integrated directly into the strap ends—no visible stitching, O-rings, or bulky connectors. The result is a sleek aesthetic that connects faster, sits flatter, and supports up to 200 pounds, raising the quality of your camera setup.
Choose Between Two Materials
Form Rope
Made from a custom braided nylon-polyester blend that balances strength, stretch, and comfort. The Form Rope Strap comes in Black, Kelp, and Ocean.
Form Leather
Crafted from premium ECCO full-grain leather with machined aluminum hardware and a smooth, sealed underside for a refined glide and just the right amount of grip. The Form Leather Strap is available in fixed-length neck and cross-body configurations (long, short, and standard) and is offered in Black, Amber, and Tan.
Peak Design is also expanding its wrist strap lineup with matching Form Cuff Leather and Form Cuff Rope models—each featuring a one-size, quick-cinching design in complementary materials and colors.
Field Plate
Accompanying the launch of the Form Strap is the Field Plate, a thumb-driven, tool-less camera plate designed for quick and secure attachment to ¼”-20 threaded cameras. True to Peak Design’s ecosystem, the Field Plate is fully compatible with their tripods, Capture Clip, straps, and most third-party Arca-type heads.
The new Field Plate redefines what a tripod plate can be. Instead of relying on coins, keys, or fold-out rings, its pop-up thumb drive screw allows photographers to tighten or loosen the plate with their hands alone. A simple press deploys the mechanism; twist to secure, press again to stow. The intuitive, tactile design feels premium while maintaining Peak Design’s signature slim profile and broad compatibility across systems.
It’s an incredibly practical update for real-world use—with winter approaching, no more fumbling for a coin or Allen key with cold fingers. The Field Plate’s tool-less system means you won’t lose another quick-release screw in the snow again.
“For more than a decade, photographers around the world have trusted our quick-connecting camera straps, and it’s incredible to spot our little red Anchor Links almost everywhere cameras are carried,” said Peak Design CEO and Founder Peter Dering. “The new Form straps are our distillation of that heritage into something streamlined, premium, and classic. And while we were at it, we took a fresh look at the humble tripod plate, resulting in the new Field Plate, which makes mounting your camera as simple as using your thumb.”

One harness no one thinks about and that is a heavy duty binocular harness that you can attach to your camera so it is inside a shirt or jacket while walking around but best for attaching to big telephoto lens with camera attached also to keep under a vest, jacket while on a walkabout or walking through a Zoo for you become the tripod, many Zoos do not allow Tripods or Bipods due to heavy foot traffic. When birding I use the heavy duty binocular harness to keep the camera and 200-600mm with a 2X teleconverter handy and for stability for using a tripod or mono pod can get a little cumbersome, like how do you track a flying big bird carrying nesting materials with your bipod hanging from the camera?
One thing I never see in a camera strap is a hard to cut wire built in, the reason for it is I read about so many cameras and bags stolen from the photographer while they are aiming for a capture. I read about many in other countries! Just saying maybe an idea!
Some years back when I was using my Sony A7SM1 and with the Voigtlander 10mm f/5.6 not only with the camera strap but a bungee cord attached to by belt in a V form to get awesome super wide angle captures due no tripods allowed in the Florida Caverns' just off I-10. No IBIS or lens OSS/IS sometimes you have to think on your feet. Just for info Carlsbad Caverns only use off white lights no colors!
Thanks for sharing, love that set up. These minimalistic straps are great for a wide range of situations where you prioritise light and comfortable equipment.
As a side note - if someone robs me for my camera, I'd rather they take it and go than deal with having to take it off around my head in a close contact situation.
