Peak Design Capture 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.

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.

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.

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!!!

If you're fed up with your camera banging about on the end of its neck strap then try this clip. It's well-made, slick in use and keeps the camera secure when you're moving about (like scrambling up mountainsides). For me, a keen hiker and lover of the wilds, it's brilliant.But it's plate is unqiue to the clip. A 3rd-party Arca Swiss type plate won't work and the Peak plate might not work with your tripod head's clamp. Check with Peak Design for compatible tripods and heads. However it should work with most screw-lock type Arca Swiss clamps and many heads can have their clamp changed.

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.

This is a beautifully executed bit of design and function. I’d seen previous versions of these clips and while they seemed functional they were a bit clunky, too big, too sticky outy and a bit too noticeable. Peak did some serious work on this version and it’s now sleek, small and discrete and just works really well. I also like the slim and light arcs Swiss compatible camera plates and the new Pro Pad really adds to the carryability of heavier gear.Is there any downside. Well, it’s a little pricy but the quality stands out.
