Peak Design has unveiled a new line of minimalist camera straps alongside a reinvented camera mounting plate, continuing its tradition of stylish, practical gear for photographers. The new Form Rope and Form Leather straps offer a cleaner, fixed-length design paired with the most streamlined version of Peak Design’s proprietary Anchor Link connection system to date. Alongside the straps, the company introduced the Field Plate, a thumb-driven, tool-free camera mounting solution compatible with Arca-type heads and Peak Design accessories.
The Form Strap line stands out with its ultra-low-profile hardware that integrates directly into the strap ends—eliminating visible stitching, O-rings, or bulky attachments. The result is a sleeker profile that offers faster handling and a seamless look, capable of supporting up to 200lbs. The Form Rope Straps use a custom braided nylon-polyester blend that balances flexibility, strength, and comfort. In contrast, the Form Leather Straps use premium ECCO full-grain leather and are finished with aluminium hardware for a luxury feel and long-lasting durability. A sealed underside gives the leather version a smooth glide that maintains grip without sticking.
Both rope and leather variants are offered in multiple fixed-length configurations to suit different body types and carrying styles, including neck and cross-body options. Colours for the Form Rope include black, navy, and sage, while the Form Leather comes in black, chestnut, and bone. A matching pair of Cuff Rope and Cuff Leather wrist straps complete the new release, offering the same premium materials in a compact form with quick cinching.
Accompanying the new straps is the Field Plate, a redesigned camera base plate that prioritises ease of use without sacrificing functionality. It replaces tools, coins, or fold-out screws with a pop-up thumb drive mechanism, allowing photographers to quickly attach or detach their camera with nothing but their hand. Despite its simplicity, it maintains a slim profile and full compatibility with existing Peak Design gear and most Arca-compatible tripod heads.
“With the new Form straps, we’ve distilled a decade of design into something classic and refined,” said Peak Design CEO Peter Dering. “And the Field Plate makes the once-ordinary tripod plate feel like a tool worth celebrating.”
