Holding the Capture Clip in your hands will give you an appreciation of its metal construction. You’ll be entrusting it with your expensive camera, so you’ll want to have a good impression of its strength despite the clip’s relatively small size. The aluminum assembly and included plate are well-crafted, and twisting them didn’t produce any worrying creaks or unnecessary flex. Peak Design Capture Clip | Material and color https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1158934-REG/miggo_mw_ms_str_bb_40_universal_padded_camera_2_way.html 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. In any event, I thought it was worth noting that the Capture Clip is not the most comfortable contraption in every single use case, with every single type of lens. There’s no stealth. 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.

While I've been using the Peak Design anchors for a bit, I find since they they don't swivel, I have to every so often unravel the cord. Before getting the Domke straps I used to use neoprene straps, but the camera bounces a little too much for my taste when using the neoprene strap.

Mainly, I see its application in landscape or event photography. I furthermore see it as an alternative for harness systems, which are often used for events like weddings or portrait sessions.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. Peak's QR Anchor Links can actually be bought separately and used with any strap FWIW. I did that for a long time with my A&A ACAM E-25, I've since been swayed by the updated Leash and Cuff tho. At its simplest, the Peak Design Capture Clip V3 is two metal plates that are held together. One of the plates attaches to the bottom of your camera just like any tripod plate. The other attaches to a strap on your bag (or any similar location, like your belt) and holds the first plate in place. Since the plate at the bottom of your camera is Arca-Swiss compatible, the system can work with any of your existing Arca-Swiss type tripod plates.

Fully detaching your camera is also easier from the Capture Clip compared to a harness system, especially if you need to then attach the camera to a tripod.Let’s say a couple getting married wants an old school documentation of their ceremony, just a camera set up filming what happens (I have had to do this). With a harness, you need to detach the camera from the harness and re-attach it to an Arca Swiss plate before it’s ready to go.

Peak Design says the Capture is rated for up to 90 kg / 200 lb so safety-wise almost anything you would put on there is a non-issue. For me personally, the Hasselblad was a bit too heavy to be comfortable. But it wasn't just the weight; I also didn’t feel comfortable with the way large cameras or those with long lenses tend to pull down, potentially jabbing into your body. Bottom line When you’re first getting started, though, it’s best to use two hands. (When we first tried it out, we had the button on the outside and it definitely needed two hands!) 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.

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 Hip Pro Pad: The Pro Pad wraps around a belt and acts as an expanded padded surface for the Capture Clip to attach to, increasing comfort and stability when attaching large or heavy gear. 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.

The Capture Clip Standard Plate

The Peak Design Capture Clip V3 fulfills an integral need for photographers – ensuring immediate and unencumbered access to your camera. It does this with elegance and durability, and in such a way that it’s hard to imagine anything else being more than marginally better, if better at all. That’s why it is a ‘wheel’ of a product; it performs in accordance with the essence of its purpose. For me, it’s a staple because it improves my ability to be mobile and execute shots as I feel inspired to do so. As the best kind of gear does, it facilitates photography.
