Try it before you knock it - it's highly secure and allows me MUCH better control of my camera than a strap. I had one and returned it.When attached to the belt the camera was pointing either to the right or to the left.Not recommended. Joke aside, though it's additional expense, they sell a 'Pro Pad' that's meant to be attachment to a belt.And attaching clip directly to your hip belt might be uncomfortable when you have to bend (or breath...).... Of course any camera out is more vunerable, that's just the laws of physics. In reality, it's very well protected when I hike - as if I fall I generally can protect it quite well. You're using exceptions to prove the rule - it's getting old seeing complaints that are nonsensical from people who have never used the product.

After all, clip is only a tool, and isn't perfect for every single situation. It should be other way round-make the product work for the bag. If I'm the travller/hiker/student...or whatever, I don't want to choose my bag-the item I use the most based on a camera clip. Be careful… I just bought the Capture latest model…. And my Z7ii went flying and crashed to the ground! Overdesigned and so padded it’s rather rigid and not fun to use and appears to have limited capacity.

Glass-filled nylon mounting arms are held together with stainless steel screws with turned aluminum heads. Listen, one of my favorite things about using the Capture Clip is that I feel like A Real Photographer™ whilst wearing my camera strapped proudly to my chest. Teryani Riggs (they/them) is an adventure, who loves all things wild and free. Teryani can often be found in the midst of a social/eco-justice campaign, hiking through wild backcountry, or hitchhiking around the world listening to other people’s stories. I love attaching it to my Osprey backpack on long day treks.
This item is out of stock in some areas.
That used to be a tiny GM1 but it's now a tiny GX850, so it's an even less stressful task than holding my larger body while lens swapping... Still tho, having it in easy reach outside of the bag is very handy and I end up using it more than were it inside the bag. My usage case is obviously not very demanding, I can't attest to how it handles large lens/body combos, etc. No, still too big to handle the camera manufacturer's design faults (tripod sockets belong in line with the lens, not somewhere to the outer parts).

Peak Design Capture Clip Review
I find that backpacking and climbing with a neck strap means I can expect my camera to slam against my chest with every step and dangle forward, slamming into rock faces when I lean forward to climb upwards. It's an amazing product, especially for hikers. The camera is very secure - doesn't flop around - allows me to easily protect it well.

First of all, harness systems can just look professional, such as the HoldFast Money Maker that Adam Sheridan recently reviewed here. Leather straps against a nice button-up or blouse and the gunslinger-like crisscross on one’s back is cool and hip. Every once in a great while, a company ‘invents the wheel’ with a product.
I also very much like the Spider Camera Holster, but it makes using an Area-Swiss style adapter more difficult, and when not in use the attachment 'knob' gets in the way. Ive been mainly using the hex screws, but ive found that coating the entire screw with vibratite does wonders. You only have to reapply every 5-6 removals too.
What's your bag?
I also use their straps, the 5l bag and the tiny case which I have one of these and can carry two lenses for a three lens kit. I don't put stuff on my belt, which is a busy enough accessory (ahem). But these capture clips are also great for backpack straps. The weight goes to your shoulder as usual but the easy on and off is great. Standard Plate is the camera tripod plate that comes with Capture, Travel Tripod, and Clutch camera strap.
The cap of the screw broke off and the plate fell on the ground. It has some latitude to slide along the bolt groove. I suspect in attempt to accommodate cameras with tripod mounts so close to the battery door. I have the v3 and use it regularly for everything but long distance, usually more than 70 mile, hikes. I've never had an issue with any loosening of the hand screw in bolts or it even remotely feeling insecure in any way.
And the camera is there when you need it quick. I had a chance to buy one at a discount tho, and after having it for a bit I ended up getting a second one. Well this is one of the things you really have to experience before making a judgement. When carrying a backpack and having the camera on the strap, it is very easy to reach and be shoot-ready.
