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, 200 lb Capacity

I’ve been using this camera clip for about five years, and it’s easily one of my most used pieces of gear when hiking or traveling. The build quality is top-notch and has held up through every kind of condition. It keeps my camera secure and easily accessible, which makes grabbing shots on the trail so much faster. The design is sleek, durable, and shows why Peak Design gear has such a great reputation. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Pros: Extremely durable, even after years of use Keeps camera secure and ready for quick access Ideal for hiking, travel, and active photography High-quality build and sleek design Cons: None, I love this product and recommend it often

I got this item after a lot of dithering about whether I really needed it or if there were other items out there, but I finally got it and couldn't be more pleased with the results. I wanted something that would allow me to carry my camera in an easy to access manner with my hands free while carrying a heavy pack (my load is currently a 2 year old, but I hope to get back to actual back packing). With this order I purchased the Clutch CL-3 (which included the baseplate) and the Pro Pad V2. As this sits close to your body, having a thicker handle strap was out of the question, but the Clutch was also excellent. My camera is a Canon 7D with a 24-105mm lens. So a decent sized setup. Security - The camera clipped into the clip securely and will not come out unless you press the release trigger. You can lock the release trigger as well, but I never felt the need. Yet it was easy to remove the camera and begin taking pictures with it. Once attached, the camera didn't wobble at all with my movements. Comfort - With the addition of the ProPad V2, I didn't have any discomfort at all while carrying the camera on my shoulder strap. I felt a little lopsided, but that's really to be expected. Best of all, both of my arms could swing freely enough to use hiking poles in both hands. I had a hydration tube on the side opposite my camera. Ease of installation - It was very simple to install. I used the thumb screws to test placement on the strap but used the included longer hex head bolts for a secure and easy fit. The shoulder straps are quite thick on the back and while not absolutely necessary, I wanted the extra security for it. Probably 5-10 minutes max, but most of that was hemming and hawing about how high it should go on the strap. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to hike with their camera. In the past I've used a neck strap but that almost inevitably begins to get tiresome as you have to also hold the camera from swinging around with one hand. I'm extremely pleased with this product and will be showing it to another friend of mine soon as she is another avid photographer / hiker.

I had heard Peak Design created some well loved/rated photography bags, mounts and straps, and I really liked the idea of mounting my camera to the shoulder strap on my backpack. So, I thought I’d try the Capture Camera Clip V3 Solo out. It’s a tight fit on my Lowepro backpack (wide straps), but it mounts securely and compresses the strap cushioning for a perfectly flush fit on the backside (shoulder facing side) of the strap. Even with a fully loaded pack, I can’t feel the back of the plate against my chest/shoulder. It’s very comfortable and I don’t even know it’s there, other than the weight of the camera. Clipping the camera in is dead simple...slide it in until it clicks. Removing it is just as easy. I had read a few complaints about difficulties pressing the safety release while removing the camera (some saying it requires two hand), but I had no such issue. I have big hands and as I grab the camera grip with my fingers, I can easily press the release with my thumb. It all happens in one smooth motion using only my right hand. For reference, I purchased Camera Clip V3 Solo (clip only version), along with the Peak Design Dual Plate V2. I have Manfrotto tripods and heads with RC2 mounts, so this Dual Plate works with both the Clip and my tripod heads. The Dual Plate works perfectly with the V3 clip and also well with the RC2 Manfrotto heads. Now for a quick testimonial... Yesterday I went for a hike/climb on some rocky terrain and had my Sony A7 with the 12-24mm lens (heavy) locked into the clip. I took a hard fall going over a boulder and was able to catch myself, somewhat, by my forearms and sort of tuck and roll. It was a violent impact (says my arms and shoulders), but the clip held fast and saved an expensive lens. I can only imagine what would have happen to either the camera or lens if I had used a neck or should strap instead of this. I’m sold on this clip mount, and highly recommend it...especially if you’re an active outdoors hiker/photographer.

I wish that I had bought this before my trip to Alaska, where holding my camera was a frequent frustration. I gave up on the old strap approach after decades without a clear path to replace it besides the PD worst strap. I couldn’t wrap my head around $80 for a mere clip. But along the way I saw other photographers effortlessly hiking with this and I come to my senses after it was too late to get one delivered mid-journey. Took my first hike with it finally this weekend. It’s great but three minor things: 1) You need to really think about the positioning. On your non-dominant shoulder is a good idea, but you may need to put it lower on the strap than you intuitively expect. 2) The tightness is also counterintuitive. I thought it wouldn’t be wide enough, or tight enough, alternately, to handle the strap on my hiking bag. But it was. There’s around 8mm of room, and the screws can go as tight as they need to from there. It’ll work with most backpacks but you may need to fiddle. 3) It only works with the PD plate, not other arca plates. This may or may not seem obvious to you but based on the description I was hopeful it would take the tripod plate on my Tamron 150-500. It did not. I wouldn’t feel safe hanging that lens off this attached to my camera, so I would say if you want to use it with a giant lens like that, invest in a second PD plate for the lens. All that said this is one of those products that Just Makes Sense (TM) once you give it a chance. The price sucks but it’s one of those things that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else. This is something stupid obvious that should have been around before I was born. I needed this in the film era. But I’m glad to have it now even if it costs as much as a full day of film for a home did back in the day. If you’re having trouble with $80, just remember that this hobby used to cost a dollar a shot even for the tossers. So take 80 good pictures on one hike - that’s seven seconds of CH on a Sony - and this thing is paid for.

If you've ever owned a Peak Design Capture Clip, you're going to want this to replace the v1 or v2 version you currently own. if you don't, once you've figured out its purpose and have seen the photos, you'll want this on your bag. Maybe you like the extra weight a DSLR or large mirrorless camera around your neck and how it makes you look like a tourist. Maybe you prefer to sling it over your shoulder so you can worry about every doorframe you might crash it into upon walking through one. If neither sounds like you, this is one of the best ways to carry your camera. Attach the clip to your backpack or messenger bag strap, the ARCA-style adapter plate to your camera's tripod receptacle, and boom... you can now easily carry your camera in a far better position on your person. Hell, you can even attach it to your belt and look like a wild west Ansel Adams. While the previous versions are perfectly serviceable, this latest version looks like the designers took Jony Ive 101 at Bay Area Community College. Clean lines with no sharp edges, uniform color and a more reliably grippy back plate and a monochrome palette in two colors: black (aka gray) and white (aka silver). The lower profile thumbscrews take a slight step backward in functionality compared to previous versions but they include high tension hex head screws for a more permanent install, should you choose that route. Also included is a decal, hex key and a nicely constructed, drawstring carry bag. This is what they "Kickstarted" a month ago for a week so they could be produced and shipped before xmas. Now that we're past the holiday, they are up for sale to the general public. The Capture Clip v3 continues the run of excellent redesigns Peak Design has been doing this year, following the equally excellent Leash v2, Cuff v2, Slide Lite v2 and Slide v2 all featuring smart changes, efficient design and tasteful color options. Even the ARCA-style adapter plate (sold separately or as a combo package) has been changed, with a lower profile and stronger construction. And just in case you're unsure, all of the previous PD adapter plates work with version 3, no exceptions. Buy it now. You know you need it.

I purchased this clip to hold my Sony A7R4 with a zoom lens while hiking. I had no difficulty figuring out how the clip attached to my pack strap, nor with the plate connection to the camera. Two easily turned screws provide a tight grip on the strap. Initially, I positioned the clip in the opposite direction that I wanted, which was to have the camera rest against a firm stop of the camera plate to the clip. I thought maybe my strap was a bit too large to accommodate this clip but found the screws and internal clearance provided both easy attachment and security of "no movement" once the screws were tightened down. During a hike, I had no slippage, nor did I feel insecure about the camera connected to my shoulder strap. I liked the positive turn and lock mechanism on the clip which keeps the camera secure while walking. At the same time, in the position I had the clip, I did not notice any tendency to accidentally bump that locking button, and even when the lock was not engaged, the camera felt secured (this obviously varies with positioning and what activity you may be doing). With gloves on, I did find moving that lock out of position was probably a bit more difficult but not unduly. Unlocked the camera comes easily undone from the clip with an upward pull, and as easily replaced back in the clip. I like this Peak Design Capture Camera Clip V3 for hiking with my camera. The clip attached securely and the most importantly the camera feels secure in the clip. I expect this to hold up well into the future.

Works great

When I saw someone on a trail using one of these I was so intrigued that I came home and bought one for myself. I never knew such a little (alas expensive) clip could be so useful! I have it attached to the shoulder strap of a backpack and use it mostly when hiking. I love that I don’t have to keep taking out and putting away my camera if I think there’s a chance that I’ll encounter something I might want to take pictures of. Obviously attaching a dslr + lens tends to weigh down the shoulder strap it’s attached to a bit, but as long as I fasten the chest-strap on my backpack when using this, it’s not a problem. Pros: super handy and unobtrusive; installs easily and securely on nearly any strap as long as it’s ~2” wide or less; bulletproof metal construction (this thing is solidly built); the attachment that comes with it attaches securely to your camera and is very low profile so you can put it on and forget about it (also compatible with plate that is tripod compatible - double win!); release button is lockable if you’re afraid of accidentally releasing it Cons: cost; tripod compatible mounting plate is sold separately; not ultra lightweight In summary, you get what you pay for and it looks like this thing will last!

It is quite a handy accessory to have. It works as advertised and holds the camera tightly. All is good, except one day while I was walking around town, the clip just came off camera. It was unbelievable, coz not just the clip came off bag, rather the screw was completely out. I had tightened the clip as much as physically possible, but it just came lose. Since then I have noticed that it keeps on getting lose with time, and I'm always cautious about my camera. I installed it again on my Lowepro350 shoulder strap, however have to tighten it regularly.

This is an update to the original capture clip that I've been using for years. Smaller, lighter and more sleek, but seems just as well made. I mostly use it on the strap of my camera 'bag of primes'. It makes lens changes easier and much more secure.

Superou as expectativas em usabilidade

Super solide et léger, bien fini il est fourni avec des outils et une petite pochette. l’ensemble est top et tiens très bien mon a6600 et son zoom 18-135 certes pas lourd de base mais tiens quand même super bien l’ensemble

Używam go już ponad rok, jestem zadowolona z zakupu. Aparat na zapięciu trzyma się solidnie i nie zjeżdża, nie ma luzów, nic nie skrzypi, wszystko trzyma jak przymurowane do mnie, dużo łatwiej w ten sposób nosić mi aparat.
