Peak DesignCapture Camera Clip V3 Solo, Black Clip Only, Holds DSLR, Compact and Point and Shoot Bodies, Secure, Stable and Accessible, Attaches to Straps and Belts, Quick Release, 90kg Capacity

Have no doubt about it, this product is the best of its kind. It is an example of excellent design and engineering. It is extremely easy to use and the Peak Design plate slips beautifully into the clip, making it 100% secure. The tolerances in its construction also make it simple to lock/unlock and withdraw one's camera from the clip. Other makers have similar products that sometimes stick a little when one tries to access the camera and the shot can be missed because of that, but it doesn't happen with Peak Design's Capture Clip.The big question though is whether this clip is worth five or six times the prices of some of the copycat items available to buy on the web? I have owned some of them, and they do work. However, they don't work with the same sort of precision and ease as the Peak Design version. If you have spent £2-3K on a camera and lens, you no doubt appreciate the best of design and construction. Therefore, you will probably remember the quality of this product long after you have forgotten how much you had to pay for it.

Excellent quality. As expected from this brand. Works well with my PD sling bagRecommend watching PD video to setup

Taking a back pack off to get to your gear can be a pain. Even if you have a back pack designed to be accessed without taking it completely off (like my mind shift back pack).On a backpack works best with smaller (mirrorless) cameras/lenses. Pretty good with DSLRS (e.g. Nikon D800/D850) and prime lenses. For DSLR with zoom lenses (16-35, 24-120, 70-300) its OK but starting to get awkward due to the tendency of the kit to be lens heavy and get in the way due to bulk, its better to use the pro-pad and belt mount the camera instead. I have two of these mounts and usually have one with a camera and a second with the lens kit to make lens change easier whilst hiking.

I bought this to help with treks with my Shimodo backpack. The S1H is a heavy camera so slinging it round ones neck or using a wrist strap not ideal. When the camera is out of the bag I wanted quick access whilst efficiently carrying it. The Shimdo shoulder straps have a lot of attachments loops ad fixings, so that was the first choice in terms of position. This is something i need to experiment with in the field. The Capture easily mounts and I didn't have to swap bolts to the longer versions. I bought the Capture without a plate and bought instead the PD "Dial Plate" for both Manfrotto RC2 fittings and ARCA. I have a Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W so the RC2 plate was needed. I tested the plate first in the Manfrotto head. I noticed that it will go in one of two ways, but only one way is the right way. When it's mounted incorrectly, the plate is not secure. The original plate that comes with the head can only be mounted one way. So, when the PD Dual Plate is mounted correctly (it has a lens direction arrow underneath), it's as solid as a rock. It's well and truly locked. Have no problem trusting my S1H using the PD Dual Plate. Once that was confirmed I then mounted it on and off of the PD Capture Clip.. Worked everytime.. and felt very secure.Need to do a field test, on a trek.. but don't anticipate any issues.

Great idea - one that's been copied now (at a much lower quality I'm told) for about 1/5th the price. Still, peak design's capture clip is obviously a superior product. Expensive, but you can feel the CNC'd, powder-coated quality of this thoughtfully designed accessory. It's changed the way I shoot, and is probably the best accessory I've bought for the camera. The only thing that gives me pause is the unjustified price. IMHO a fair price would be about 1/3 less than it sells for now. Oh well, while it doesn't have competition (at the same class of quality that is) for this ultra niche product, you will probably buy this too. I do recommend it, and am happy with it, but you'll always feel like you spent a bit too much

This device makes carrying my DSLR camera a breeze. I use it on the waist belt of my rucksack. Smaller and a little lighter than my first. This second one purchased to save moving the Capture from one rucksack to the other, and not because the first was defective.

Thought this might be a gimmick, but it is really useful for freeing both hands to do other things. I use it on rucksack shoulder. Just make sure the angle is right, as if not it can be tricky to slide the camera in.So far it has been very secure, and held an R8 plus lenses well on long hikes and around town.Only wish is that all the small plate manufacturers (PD/Pyg/Neewer) would agree on a standard size for the camera plates, then more things would be fully interoperable.

Although expensive, this is easily the best piece of camera equipment I have bought. It honestly makes such a difference just having the camera to hand at all times.Before the capture clip, I walked past tonnes of photos that I wasn't sure of which is laziness on my part. I don't walk past photos now because it's so easy to whip the camera out of the clip and start framing within seconds.Yes it's expensive, but the value of having the convenience outweighs the cost, so much so I bought a second one to put of my day bag for when our with the family.I've also used this with my XT3 and the 100-400 lens and still found this comfortable, and easy to use... No brainer!!!
