Peak DesignCapture Camera Clip V3, Black with Plate, Holds DSLR, Compact and Point and Shoot Bodies, Secure, Stable and Accessible, Attaches to Straps and Belts, Quick Release, 200 lb Capacity

I was looking for a product to be able to quickly stow my camera when out of the bag without having to set it down or put it all the way back in my backpack. I had tried the Spider Holster Spider X Backpack Starter Kit, but found the mounting plate that attaches to the camera to be cumbersome especially when I was trying to get my camera system out of my backpack. The extended metal ball joint would get stuck in the backpack as I tried to take my camera out. I liked the appeal of this as a holster instead primarily because it is less sightly as a holster and it is much lower profile on the camera itself than the Spider Holster attachment.So the things that I like about this is: both the attachment to the camera and the capture clip are low profile and stylish. This keeps my camera very secure. It also has made switching lenses on my camera a bit of an easier than doing so with the camera free in my hand. The options of where to put the capture clip, whether it's on my shoulder strap, belt clip, or even on my waist strap on the backpack itself, is equally appealing and not particularly hard to switch between. I also really like being able to change orientations of putting the camera into the holster. When using it on my waist strap, putting the camera lens down for storage is my go-to. When changing lens from my hip, having my camera facing forward is my preferred orientation. Just having the option is fantastic though. Additionally because of it's low profile nature, I keep the capture clip mount constantly on my waist strap on my backpack and it tucks away fairly nicely so as not to get scuffed or dinged up.The things I don't like about this: compared to the Spider X Backpack Kit, it's just a little bit slower/harder process to get my camera out of the holster. The Spider X was incredibly easy and a fluid motion both in and out of the holster. The PD Capture Clip is not as fluid in that regard. It has a slightly higher learning curve and you have to look to put it in your holster because the margin of error is pretty narrow. I also don't like that the capture clip and the PD Pro Pad are separate products needing to be purchased. I think they should come bundled together.Despite those two things, I think the positives far outweigh my dislikes. I am very pleased with this and would definitely recommend using this if you are looking for a quick holster device.

I am not one to write glowing reviews about items unless they are truly outstanding. Many products for sale cut corners in one way or another. Over time this will become evident through use. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE PRODUCTS.I use this in run and gun photo and video shoots when I need an extra point of contact to hold my expensive camera/lens combo in place as I move from one spot to another. I cannot say enough good things about this product. It feels as if the Peak design team actually used and tested this product extensively before releasing it to the public. Every part of this item feels well thought out and it is a joy to use in the field for all-day shoots. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ITEM! It is now a vital piece of my gear set and will remain so for as long as it withstands the abuse. Then, I will probably buy another.Please note that I use a camera strap and this product for 3 points of contact. My camera strap bears most of the weight of the camera and this device is used primarily to hold the camera in place so as to keep it from swinging around and getting banged up when I am using a second camera. It took some adjusting on the camera strap to find the sweet spot but once I found said sweet spot the experience has been AMAZING!THANK YOU, PEAK DESIGN FOR A WELL THOUGHT OUT PRODUCT THAT ANSWERS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN A MINIMALIST FORM FACTOR!

Fantastic product. It’s a solid build that is easy to use and instills confidence to hang your expensive equipment.

This capture clip is just perfect. From the get go it is quality. I was a little nervous on my first outing, but those fears were largely squashed. I ended up buying a peak design strap as well, because I just don't trust myself to not lose grip on the edge of a cliff or waterway.I will say this, though, it comes with two sets of screws. One are shorter, flush, hand tighten screws and the other are longer hex screws. During my first outing, after an hour, I found that the hand tightened screws had begun to spin out. I had really attempted to crank the heck out of these screws, but they still came loose. Apparently, this is a common issue for other users I've come across online.So, of course, I tried using the hex screws. Here I could really be sure these were cranked down tight. Now, mind you, I intend to use this on my hip attached to my belt, while I notice many users attach it to backpacks. I'm not much of a backpack type, but I did see one guy on YouTube have the same problem with backpacks. Basically, while the hex screws were much more secure and even though they only stuck out a couple centimeters beyond the clip (they're meant for thick straps, which my belt is not thick) it causes them to painfully jab into you.It's not something you'd notice right away, but after just a few minutes with the weight of the camera hanging down, it's awful. I almost didn't even recognize at first where the pain was coming from. It was almost too mild, but as time stretched on, it was brutal. The same thing can happen with backpack straps with the long screws apparently.This situation seriously stinks, because I don't feel comfortable with hand tightened screws. Some users have suggested just checking and retightening every now and again, but how does that leave you with peace of mind, it turns every one into an obsessive. To make it worse, you'd figure Peak Design would offer shorter hex screws on their site, but they don't.What has been my solution? Right now, until I figure out if I can buy some screws somewhere to fit, I put one hex screw on the end of the clip nearer my waist and the hand tightened screw on the end nearer my hip. It works well, doesn't come undone for me and alleviates the pain of the long hex screw driving into your hip.Now, another thing to point out. After use, I understand why the backpack strap is so popular. Having a 3 or more pound camera on your belt requires your belt to be tight. I had to tighten it up one belt loop further than I'm normally comfortable with. However, for me, it wasn't uncomfortable, but I can totally imagine it being uncomfortable for others. Your best bet might be purchasing Peak Designs Pro Pad, which hangs from your belt allowing you to attach the clip to the pad.In many ways, you're really in for getting into an ecosystem. Just like with Nikon or Canon or anything shooters, you start buying the lenses for your specific camera and you're now committed. You buy the capture clip, now you wanna buy the pro pad or the additional tripod shoe so you don't need to change shoes, you might want get a bag or the rain cover.Now, I know these sound like detractors, but if you're willing to be committed to it, it's amazing. I wish I had this years ago. Heck, I wish I'd bought it last year when I traveled to Norway, instead I went with a sling. It's just so nice to get it off your shoulders or off your neck and not require straps and as advertised, it's a great way to swap lenses. I felt it important to point out some of the struggles, it's helpful to be an informed buyer, but do give it a try!

Have been using it for outdoor photography for a while. It was very easy to go from having a strap around the neck to just being able to unclip and clip as needed. Low profile and also doesnot hurt under the bag strap. 4 stars is only for the price
