Mine can be a bit tricky to clip in if I try to slide the base plate in at the wrong angle. On the trail, I typically carry a lighter camera on the clip and my DSLR in the pack. Once attached they stay in place and they are easy to use. I keep one body in my 5L case and the other attached to the outside. Love this, love the attachments and love the plates.

It can slide into the capture clip in any direction, so whether you want your camera pointed up, down, or sideways, you can do so easily. To attach the camera to the Capture Clip, you’ll need to attach the special Arca base plate that comes with the clip to your camera, using the included allen key. Once the base plate is installed on your camera, you simply slide the base plate into the clip, until you hear that oh-so-satisfying click, letting you know that your camera is secured. While this is true in a way, I've been using the V1 of the capture clip for years and I honestly couldn't find it any more invaluable.

Or you can let it ride comfortably in your backpack — only to miss a scenic nature shot as you struggle to dig it out. Fits any strap up to 6.4cm (2.5”) wide and 1.5cm (0.6") thick with standard thumbscrews or 2.2cm (0.88”) thick with included hex-head clamping bolts. For one thing, it's really convenient for lens swaps if nothing else.

Key Features of the Capture Clip
Would think at least twice before buying any more of their products, I’m afraid. 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.
Comfort for heavy camera and lens setup
I can’t help but feel like the company Peak Design is a little avarice in nature. Even their quick release plate feels overpriced. Sure, it's less comfortable than in a backpack. But for moderately-sized cameras (eg, m43), I can hike with it for hours with only a slight uncomfortable pressure on my hip (I carry it on waist belt of my backpack).

It doesn’t stand out as much, which can be good or bad depending on how you want to look for the event. The Capture Clip is also a smaller piece of gear to stow, transport, and think about. As far as where to put it, that’s really up to you. Peak Design recommends the right shoulder just above the sternum on a backpack and just off to the right side on the belt, but really, you can place it anywhere. The Capture Clip itself is made of weatherproof, rust-resistant aluminum and weighs just 3 ounces (84 g).
Similarly, the metal plate’s low profile is awesome—you hardly notice it when you’re holding on to your camera and I love that it’s already compatible with Arca tripods (including Peak Design’s!). While I primarily see most Capture Clips used to simply hold cameras onto a backpack strap (seriously, it seems like every YouTuber that I watch uses one of these things), the clip can be used for SO much more than that. Justin and I have three Capture Clips and are constantly swapping them between ourselves and between our various bags. The Peak Design Capture Clip is light, easy to use, keeps the camera/lens/etc. At the ready, and works on a wide variety of straps.
I mean that the invented product is so functionally appropriate that it becomes a new standard. The Peak Design Capture Clip V3 is just like a wheel. It’s an uncomplicated, useful, and seemingly obvious solution to keep a photographer’s camera mounted on or close to their body. Clip for rigidly carrying any camera on any belt, strap, or bag. You paid good money for that camera, so get it out of your bag and use the dang thing.
New connection screw slot allows more positioning options, preventing interference with lenses, screens, and battery compartments. My husband, Justin, and I are professional travel bloggers and accordingly, take our cameras, well, pretty much everywhere. The mounting plate is compatible with any strap or belt up to 2.5” wide and 0.6” thick (or 0.88” thick with the included hex bolts).
Either you tighten the screw so much that the rubber on the base plate of a D800 (also applies to D810/850) is damaged over time and comes loose, or you risk the screw coming loose. I didn’t like the swaying of the camera when walking. So the thing is in a drawer and I will probably throw it away one day.
I bought into this version for it’s refined engineering. I was never impressed by it’s previous iterations. However,for the price they are asking, the Pro Pad v3 should be included with every Capture Clip v3.
For example, the clip makes carrying and swapping out lenses an absolute breeze. All in all, this little contraption has been worth its weight in gold (and is definitely worth its price point!). The standard camera plate is a bit lighter than the clip (0.5 oz/14 g), though heavier than my tripod plate.
I prefer the minimalism, lack of straps, lack of dangling, ease of use, and versatility of the Capture Clip over a harness. But darn those harnesses look cool, and yes, I’m also glad to own one and have it as an option when need be. Extra Capture clip for expanding your carry options or building a custom setup. What's it like to use the most thoughtfully designed gear in the world? Safe for use with the largest of professional cameras in during any activity or environment. Works with all legacy Peak Design plates except DUALplate v1 (discontinued 2014).
It just requires an extra level of care and attention to avoid. The first time I heard of the Peak Design clip, I ordered it the same day. Admittedly, I found it thanks to the YouTube channel of one of my favorite travel photographers. Now it’s my number one accessory that I don’t adventure without. When used with any of our adapter plates/kits, Capture (Clip Only) can carry cameras, lenses, GoPros, or binoculars.
Who wouldn't want to use the IS mechanism they've paid for to squeeze a bit more resolution our of their camera? People like Richard Butler, who question the effort/reward balance they offer. Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
