THE PRECISION | I can’t say for certain, but usually, the first few ins and outs using the capture require a bit more patience since the clip can at times be finicky with the angles needed to secure and remove your camera. Im a beginner and im a little worried about the lens mount…since i use a budget canon m50 mkii, im worried that the lens mount gets damaged by well, gravity. I suppose this is really just a lack of maintenance on my part, but on extended trips, it becomes difficult to worry about the amount of moisture collecting on a piece of unessential gear.

Change lenses with ease: Your camera locks into Capture in 4 directions, allowing fast lens changing. The all-new clip is sturdy and secure giving you confidence when you're moving with your camera be it hiking, biking or moving around a wedding. This backpack’s straps tuck under magnetic flaps along the back of the bag if you don’t want to use them. Because the Capture Clip secures your camera or lenses in place, your gear is a lot less jiggly (and annoying) than when you’re using a strap, and much less likely to slam into obstacles when bending over since it hugs your body when attached to a belt or backpack strap.If you like freezing moments in time with expensive photograph machines, but you also enjoy being hands-free (because touching things), then do yourself a favor and check out Peak Design’s Capture Clip (or the Capture Clip Pro). In addition to the security, the quick-release function of the capture clip ensures you have access to your camera at a moment's notice. This DSLR camera clip is the best camera clip for backpack straps because it can fit onto any size of strap.

The Peak Design Capture V3 Camera Clip with Standard Plate is a pro-quality camera carrying solution which allows you to carry any camera on any backpack strap, belt or bag.

THE COMFORT | I really take no issue with the comfort of the Capture Clip, but I expect there are some whiners out there who may complain that it is pressing into them under the weight of their camera and pack. Prior to using the Capture Clip I would either carry my camera in my backpack (which meant having to take my pack off every time I wanted to take a photo) or simply carry it in my hand (which meant constantly having to set it down to free my hands up and living in constant fear that I would drop or bang it on something). I guess it’s safe to say that this is another camera clip that you can literally run and jump around with while taking photos. For a really long time, we almost exclusively used the wide angle lens with whatever camera we were shooting with, because, well, we’re lazy and it’s inconvenient to set down your bag, rifle through it, and go through the process of swapping out your lenses.

It also comes with a security camera belt made with aluminum alloy, that allows the clip to hold up to 44 lbs. Hence, it's important that you find a camera clip that can hold at least 200lbs worth of items for your backpack. For example, like true Peak Design fangirls, we each have a Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack that we use for one-bag travel. Note the “non-functioning” part – this means that the warranty does not cover cosmetic wear that does not affect the safety or function of your product.

If your strap is cushioned, it can take a little bit of effort to clamp the clip back down once you’ve inserted the strap (especially if it’s on the thicker side), but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to remove and reattach the clip with no problem.
