I had heard Peak Design created some well loved/rated photography bags, mounts and straps, and I really liked the idea of mounting my camera to the shoulder strap on my backpack. So, I thought I’d try the Capture Camera Clip V3 Solo out.
It’s a tight fit on my Lowepro backpack (wide straps), but it mounts securely and compresses the strap cushioning for a perfectly flush fit on the backside (shoulder facing side) of the strap. Even with a fully loaded pack, I can’t feel the back of the plate against my chest/shoulder. It’s very comfortable and I don’t even know it’s there, other than the weight of the camera.
Clipping the camera in is dead simple...slide it in until it clicks. Removing it is just as easy. I had read a few complaints about difficulties pressing the safety release while removing the camera (some saying it requires two hand), but I had no such issue. I have big hands and as I grab the camera grip with my fingers, I can easily press the release with my thumb. It all happens in one smooth motion using only my right hand.
For reference, I purchased Camera Clip V3 Solo (clip only version), along with the Peak Design Dual Plate V2. I have Manfrotto tripods and heads with RC2 mounts, so this Dual Plate works with both the Clip and my tripod heads. The Dual Plate works perfectly with the V3 clip and also well with the RC2 Manfrotto heads.
Now for a quick testimonial...
Yesterday I went for a hike/climb on some rocky terrain and had my Sony A7 with the 12-24mm lens (heavy) locked into the clip. I took a hard fall going over a boulder and was able to catch myself, somewhat, by my forearms and sort of tuck and roll. It was a violent impact (says my arms and shoulders), but the clip held fast and saved an expensive lens. I can only imagine what would have happen to either the camera or lens if I had used a neck or should strap instead of this. I’m sold on this clip mount, and highly recommend it...especially if you’re an active outdoors hiker/photographer.

MUST WATCH! How good is the Peak Design Capture Clip?!
Studio Shred ☑️
Product Description
ALREADY HAVE A CAPTURE PLATE- THIS IS JUST THE CLIP
The all-new Capture is the most secure, convenient, accessible way to carry your camera, period.
Unlike a camera strap, Capture keeps your camera rigidly stable while hiking, biking, or moving around the studio. Unlike a camera bag, Capture keeps your camera instantly accessible with the click of a button.
Includes 2 components: a metal clip that clamps to any backpack strap, belt, or bag, and REQUIRES A SEPARATELY AVAILABLE Arca tripod-compatible plate that screws into the bottom of your camera.
Your camera locks into the clip, where it is held rigidly and securely. Press the lockable quick-release button to remove. Holds well over 200 lbs. (90kg), making it strong enough for the heaviest of pro camera/lens combinations.
V3 updates: Way smaller, way lighter, all-metal build, ultra-smooth machined/anodized finish, hella comfy ergonomic design.
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.

Best looking of all the Capture versions
I own many other Peak Design products, but this was my first Capture Clip, and I will say that this one is great. It pairs extremely well with the new dual plate (I bought one on Amazon, but it looks like they have removed it, you will need to get it from somewhere else).Pros:- While I haven't owned the older versions, it definitely looks smaller and a lot more slick, definitely the best looking of the versions.- Built out of metal, and feels very sturdy- With the dual plate, very easy to get in and out and holds very secure (no wiggle room). I used it on my backpack strap with a Sony A7RIII and the heavy 24-70mm GM and actually went ahead and jumped up and down with this. While the lens beat me in the chest, the clip held up and I would say that even with it unlocked, it probably wouldn't be able to fall out since this new design can only slide in from the top.Cons:- I would maybe recommend a little bit of oil or grease on the screws since there seems to be a lot of metal rubbing (screeching) when you are tightening it down.- Again, I can't confirm, but it seems like using one hand to get the camera in and out is not so easy. I think it has something to do with the angle of the release button. In the picture, you can see both v2 and v3 side by side. Notice that v2's button is slightly angled upward, which probably makes it less awkward to press, since it's not behind the camera body. However, Peak Design has said that the design of v3 does also prevent accidental button presses, which may be reason for the change.Conclusion:There really isn't anything else like this out there, and I can already tell you that I liked this so much that I went out and bought another one for my second camera bag. I didn't like the limitations that the old plate design put on my camera, but with the new dual plate, this was a no brainer. I highly recommend the dual plate with this, you will be able to use one plate with both ARCA and Manfrotto systems, and still use Capture!

Con este clip tengo la misma experiencia. Lo he comprado para un viaje en el que andaré mucho y no quiero ir con la cámara al cuello todo el día, y si bien aún no puedo dar valoración sobre este viaje (actualizaré la reseña), el tiempo que lo he usado hasta ahora ha sido genial.
Tener a mano una forma segura y rápida de llevar la cámara es todo un acierto. Simplemente lo dejas deslizar y se queda bloqueada hasta que quieras volver a usarla.
La construcción tanto del clip como de la placa para la propia cámara es muy buena. Todo en aluminio da sensación de que durará mucho tiempo (la garantía de por vida que da la marca también apunta en esa dirección.
El único pero que le encuentro es el de todos los productos de esta marca: el precio.
Es cierto que va a sujetar equipo fotográfico que como mínimo sobrepasa los 500 o 600 euros si no los más de 1000 y puede parecer que la comparación con invertir 80€ no es tanta, cuando comparas con otros competidores la cosa se complica.
Por un lado Falcam ofrece un sistema casi igual por casi la mitad de precio y con una ventaja abismal: hay todo un sistema alrededor de la placa que engancha a la cámara y que hace que sea mucho más cómodo usarlo en el día a día.
Otras marcas como PGYtech o Xiletu ofrecen algo muy parecido a Falcam por incluso menos precio, asi que compararlo con este de Peak Design empieza a dejar claro que el precio no es todo lo ajustado que debería.
No me arrepiento de la compra, y a la larga se convertirá en una parte más de mi mochila, pero tras probar la alternativa de Falcam, me resulta difícil justificar el precio al menos en el medio plazo.
Veremos si el tiempo justifica ese extra de dinero en forma de calidad y servicio al cliente.
