Peak Design  Capture 3.0 Camera Clip

love the design, small easy to use. and thats where it stops.... major concerns and flaws i see in 1 use is the Arca tripod-compatible plate is very slim and doesnt take into account that some camera users have a camera case/ rubber bumper. the button to take the camera on and off is very small(fine) until you want to lock and unlock the button and in the case when the camera is connected its hard to turn---(i would recommend knurling the button for making it easier turning as theres little to grab onto) and a little disappointed that the first backpack i tried to connect it to the shoulder straps were too wide.

This item is a total game changer. It was the first Peak Design product I bought almost 5 years ago, and now I can’t live without it. How many times have you gone on a trip and ended up carrying your camera in your hand the whole time? The Capture Clip lets you go hands-free while securely holding your camera. The best part? In just 1 second, your camera is ready to shoot, so you never miss a moment. It’s engineered to perfection, and you can feel it in every detail. Peak Design quality at its finest!

I’m so happy with this clip, that I’ve bought 2, one for each backpack that I use. The fact that you can go hiking or do street photography and have 2 hands free to eat or climb is the best! Is super secure and I’ve never had a problem with had been using one for 2 years now!

We travel by bicycle, by van, by car, by foot and my backpack or hydration pack has the Capture clip on it so I can carry my camera knowing it is safe, secure, and not dangling from my neck. I am always ready to capture a moment along the trails of life.

I was hiking and the latch mechanism started to get more difficult to lock-in. After a couple of times unlatching and latching while on my hike the latch locked up. I had to remove the clip from my backpack strap and hold the camera around my neck like before. I am still trying to unlatch the clip from the camera base to no avail. I am dubious to recommend.

I bought this clip just before a trip to Iceland to use it for hiking with my Sony A7RIV. It's more convenient than carrying a camera swinging from your neck or stuck in the bottom of your pack, but it was difficult to get the camera in and out - certainly not as easy as it appears in PD´s marketing videos. The thumb screws constantly came loose, no matter how tightly I would tighten them, and within a few days one fell off while I was traveling. Fortunately, this was not while I had nothing attached to the clip, so at least my camera didn't fall out, but still... I had to replace it with a hex bolt from another PD product since I didn't have the hex bolts for this product with me - it never occurred to me that the thumb screws would be so flimsy. Also, the finish began to be scraped off the clip almost immediately: The attached photos are after less than ONE WEEK of use! And as you can see, they scratched the bottom of my nearly new (1 mo). Finally, the clip does not attach very well to my non-PD camera backpack. They claim it's universal, but I'm not sure it works on non-PD products. I filed a warranty claim requesting new thumb screws and hex bolts, but given the cosmetic damage to my camera, I'm not sure I want to keep using this thing, and I'm not sure I would recommend it to others. Not nearly the miracle solution that PD is always trumpting with every product they sell. Too bad: The idea is a great one but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. But the performance definitely does NOT live up to the hype.

I cannot recommend these clips enough. I wear mine on my left backpack strap just below the nips and have to say they keep your camera accessible but locked in to place throughout your trip. There is a simple push button to release and slide the camera out that can also be turned 90degrees to lock. I've used these on 3-4 day backpacking trips in Yosemite and the Lost Coast and it allowed me to grab my camera in seconds and snap a quick shot and lock it back into place without adjusting my pack at all. Can handle big lenses too - had no issues with my 100-400mm zoom. (just be sure you test out a configuration that works for you before a long trek).

While hiking in the mountains or even in the city, I used to carry the camera around my neck or simply hold it in my hand. However, after a while, I felt pain in my neck or hands. Putting the camera in my backpack every time was also a hassle. Now I always have it at hand. Thanks to the holder attached to the backpack, the camera hangs, out of the way, and is always accessible. And the holder's convenient color. I recommend it.

Bought the capture to reduce all the delays and fiddling usually needed to get shots of the family while skiing deep powder in Japan. Usually, the interruptions of doffing a bag and getting the camera out puts everyone off their flow. The Capture eliminated all that and most of the time my family didn’t even notice me stopping to take shots. Importantly, the Capture was rock solid. At first I was dubious that the device would be up for the task but after a couple of runs including a few old man tumbles in waist deep powder, I had complete confidence that the camera would be secure no matter what. Picture here is with an EM-1 Mk II and 12-40mm Pro, but I also had plenty of days with a 40-150mm Pro fitted and again had no qualms about its safety. Not a super heavy set-up with either lens, but I can imagine you’d get the same results with much heavier gear. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

Capture clip is a serious liability two times in three years I've had my top-of-the-line Sony camera fall off the clip because the release button can be pushed by nearly anything. Today, my Sony A1 and 70 to 200 mm zoom lens fell onto a gravel road just because a piece of fabric on my sweatshirt released the button. I am not happy and will never recommend or bit anything PD ever again.
