The Capture system not only makes it simple to carry your camera, but it also means you always have a plate attached for tripod mounting. I use a Sony A6000 mirrorless camera which is smaller than most full-frame DSLR cameras, but Peak Design claim the clip will work well with “the largest of professional cameras.” In fact they say it can withstand well over 90kg (200lbs). With my heaviest lens, my camera weighs 830g. I actually find it more stable when it’s heavier as it bounces around less. But how does all this compare to a harness system, which is often the standard in event photography? Looking to upgrade your equipment?

However, we recently got the Peak Design Lens Kit, which slides into the Capture Clip and securely holds two extra lenses at the ready ( psssst…. if you’re interested in this product, make sure you’re getting the right kind for your camera system. There are currently 3 different models that are compatible with Sony E mount , Canon EF-EFS mount , and Nikon F Mount).

I wish they'd commented on what kind/brand of eyelet was causing accelerated wear, they seemed to allude to sometime specific but didn't name it. Been meaning to take a close look at my two bodies' eyelets to see if there's really any rough edges in there... PeakDesign makes interesting things and they care about customers (thanks, Adam H. for your patience and understanding).

This is a standard plate and magnet system designed for securely mounting a phone in conjunction with the Peak Design Everyday Case.

As it stands, the Standard Plate is a quality bit of engineering that allows the camera to be inserted into the base in four directions. The screw ‘hole’ is more of a ‘slot’ that means you can position the plate off-centre. As you can see from the photo above this means I can position the plate in a way that allows my screen to tilt freely. It could also help allow you to keep the battery compartment clear on other cameras. Getting the Capture Clip opened is as simple as undoing the left and right knobs (remember, it’s righty-tighty and lefty-loosey). After loosening those, the upper layer can now swing upwards. Peak Design Capture Clip | Open position The Peak Design Everyday Sling v2 is an excellent example, providing a secure, chic and comfortable means of carrying camera gear. It’s perfect for city-breaks and day trips, with waterproof lining and thief-deterring zippers.

The Capture Clip, when used on the belt, can provide a super-stable lens changing platform. Simply put the camera on vertically (it’ll look “sideways”). The Capture Clip will hold it in place perfectly for your lens change. The Capture Clip has two metal layers that are connected by two semi-permanent thumb drive bolts. When you unscrew the bolts, the outer layer of the clip swings upward. Creating a superior product comes from smart design, as well as employing high quality materials and manufacturing methods. This applies to the Capture Clip given the use of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, and the lifetime guarantee. While this review does not extend to an audit of manufacturing practices, Peak Design does have a good reputation for consistently delivering high quality products. My experience with the Capture Clip is in line with this reputation. NIKON Z 6 + NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S @ 50mm, ISO 500, 1/2500, f/1.8 Compatible Products by Peak Design There are two main locations that I’ve seen photographers attach the Capture Clip to their belt: at their hip and at the inside of their leg. 2.1. Belt-Mounted at the HipMy Peak Design Capture Clip came with a standard Arca-Swiss-compatible plate, 2 hand-drive screws, 2 4mm hex screws, a hex wrench and a microfiber pouch to store everything in.

First of all, you have the two camera plates: the standard ARCA Swiss compatible plate and the dual plate that’s Manfrotto (RC2) compatible. (Because of the geometry, this one is only a two-way entry, not a four-way.) P.O.V. Kit: A standard plate and plate with a male tripod thread connected by a dual articulating (pan-and-tilt) arm. For mounting small action cameras, like a GoPro.

At a weight of 70 grams for the clip and 14 grams for the standard plate, it’s also a very light accessory. But as a photographer who hikes a lot, I’m always delighted to shed any amount of unnecessary weight. As such I’d be interested in a lighter alternative to aluminum and steel, perhaps carbon fiber. Even at a higher cost, this would likely be a consideration for many creators like myself. Take, for example, our lenses. For our two cameras— the Sony A7III and the Sony a6400, we primarily travel with three different lenses: a telephoto Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3, a wide-angle Sony 16-35mm Vario-Tessar T FE F4, and a Sony SEL50M28 FE 50mm F2.8 for macro shots. Interestingly, you can see the differences between P eak Design Capture v2 vs v3 gave us some things while taking others away. Do you have any questions about the Peak Design Capture Clip?

The first time we used the Capture Clip, the experience of having our Sony A6500 front-mounted on our shoulder strap was a weird one—at first. We were conscious of the sensation and weight of a camera hanging off in front of us. Not to mention that we needed to remove our camera whenever we put our bag down, or else we risk the bag falling over camera-first.You paid good money for that camera, so get it out of your bag and use the dang thing. With Capture, you can safely and comfortably carry your camera anytime, anywhere, and always have instant access. The POV Kit – designed for GoPros and point-and-shoot cameras. (This one has unfortunately not been optimized for V3 yet. They’re working on it.) Like the V2, you can still integrate a variety of add-ons to your Capture system such as the Manfrotto RC2 compatible Dual Plate or the Peak Design Lens Kit. This means you can use the Capture Clip for its base purpose but still have the option to expand its functionality well beyond just carrying a camera on your bag.
