If you’re going to use this on a back pack I’d recommend a back pack with a sternum strap. It makes a hell of a difference.

I appreciate that you show the initial weirdness and struggles w a new system. I was looking to buy this device as well

I have never seen anyone have a harder time with such a simple device. I have several of these and have used them easily running through forests or climbing. I never had any of the issues exhibited in this video. It is a super device and I suggest that every photographer that walks a lot and wants immediate access to the camera to purchase one. I think this is the best thing peak design makes.

Just ordered this. Gonna use it on the belt, and they also have this hip pad thing that goes on your belt, and then you permanently attach the clip to that, instead of your belt.

It’s called the ‘Pro Pad’ and it’s $19.99! But I believe it is the best way to go for mounting heavier rigs on a belt. 👍

I got one of these years ago and literally used it once before realising I'd made a tragic error! Very funny reiew Omar really digging your real world scenario tests ahahaha

That thing is a must when you're hiking or roaming the city all day. It sure is expensive, but it's worth it. However, I think it's better if you buy it in a set. I got mine with a few straps, etc. and was able to save some money. Tip: I'm right-handed and prefer to have it on the left side (backpack strap). I grab the lens with my left hand and push the button with my right thumb. Usually it will be the X-T20 with the 18-55 :3 PS: I wouldn't trust my $1,400 Fuji setup to a cheap one bought from Amazon. I'd rather pay the $70 than having to pay 20 times that because my camera fell on the ground. However, I'd also recommend you check that the screws are not loose before you go out, because if you leave it on and with much use they may get a bit loose. One thing I regret, though: not getting the plate with Arca Swiss mount.

Absolutely love mine. With a more full backpack, I barely notice my XT3 is there. It took a little time to get used to, and to dial in where I like it on my shoulder, but now I won't hike without it. Peak Design makes really great products.

I had the original and upgraded to V3. Love it as a carry option - either on my belt, backpack, or PD 5L sling. I don’t use it all the time, but definitely great to have so many options available depending on your need. And all PD products are very well built. Definitely recommend them.

A bag with a chest strap would make it a lot more comfortable. Used it on many trips with a dslr and it was the best investment I made.

I agree. You need a backpack with a chest strap. I own a peak design everyday backpack and the same capture clip and it works well since the backpack straps are in the rigid side. Did some hiking in Hallstatt and several other cities and it does come in handy. Also with practice and a smaller camera like an x-t2 or an x-t20 you can easily unclip with your thumb.

When clipped into a backpack, how do you change lenses that are stored in the backpack?

Love your videos Omar! You got me into the Fuji stuff! Own a X-T20 and been using the Capture clip for more than half a year and love it! I use it on a belt and on the side of a small bag (Think Tank Retro 5). Excellent for hiking and yes also for changing lenses. Whilst in nature it's always a hassle to change lenses. Expensive but good stuff.

Love that you do things that are realistic (with humor) rather than the manufacturer's videos which tend to be set up to make everything look easy. I bought one yesterday but my backpack(s) strap(s) are all wider than the capture clips. I don't ever wear a belt and the thought of wearing a heavy one just to support the capture isn't appealing. I do use a FF DSLR and so am now convinced I'll go with the harness setup from Think Tank which uses the camera strap to support the camera hanging in front...so off the neck. Thanks for the honest evaluation and laughs. p.s. I will now watch your other videos!

I've had one for a while and love it with XT-20 on 10L PD bag across my chest.Can hike all day. Love your vids Omar, keep up the good work.

Hi Omar, great video. Live it! I own the older version of this, basically the same but more bulky and with a thread at the bottom (to mount it at a tripod) I used it to carry a Canon G16 (compact camera) first, now I use the X-T20 with serious glass and some film SLR cameras with the FL/FD mount. In my experience it is a great tool to carry your camera and I love using it every time I'm out on the streets. On a backpack make sure it's on the right height and a chest strap helps to ensure shoulder movement but keep it on the left side. On the belt I mount it with the release button downwards because I always release it with my pinky. One handed of course. I guess we Germans are too efficient and probably need the other hand to catch the BIRD! Anyway, check out the straps from peak design. They are awesome as well. Keep it up!

You crack me up! I adore the Capture Clip, especially in the days I was doing major hiking with my Canon 5D MIII. It works best if your pack has some weight (for counter balance), placing it a smidge higher, and using a breast strap between the shoulder straps on the pack for stabilizing the weight left to right. The clip is also a tripod attachment, so no more fiddling when switching handheld to carry to tripod. On my Fuji XT2 setup when in the city I'm more likely to use Peak Design's sling camera strap so the camera is readily available but I'll put the Capture Clip on my camera bag or backpack if I want to keep the camera from swinging around, e.g. when moving actively or climbing around something.

@@arianakhan6665 Yes, absolutely. Used it with my Canon 5D.

I have one of these and I find it invaluable for weddings and events, when working a two-camera scenario. One on a strap around my neck, the other (usually X-T2 with the XF56mm) sits on the Peak Design clip on my belt. I usually have it the other way up so the release button faces downwards, that way I can press it with the ring finger on my right hand as I slide the camera out. Smooooth, most of the time. Just need to remember not to smack the belt camera into the one hanging from your neck strap on the way up! Oh, and make sure your belt's done up tightly enough to support the weight of the camera...

Always entertaining and love your real-world, no BS reviews

I have an older version of this thing and I really love it. I use it all the time on my belt. But I have the release button down. So I can release the cam one-handed via middle finger. Very convenient. But you have to be aware of thick lenses. They may scratch on the screws. Think you will love it once you get used to it.

i actually got this clip for the same exact intention- I was going backpacking in banff and wanted to my camera easily accessible, my hands free, and no extra weight swinging around. It didn't work out as great as I hoped. On the backpack strap, the metal really dug into my shoulder over time and was painful. I should try the belt, but also seems like not the best place for hiking or scrambling

Thanks for the video and review. I've been looking to get this for backpacking. Also, nice "What Would You Say" lick there in the middle.

It's this kind of review that I've been searching before buying! Nice review!

Thanks for the review and the laughs! Great video Omar!

Always funny, real and honest. Keep em coming, Omar

I have one on my day pack. It works very well and definitely has become easier to use with time and usage. Other than the initial difficulties getting the camera off and on the clip I only had one gripe. With my Canon 60D with my 15-85 on it the front of the lens would dig into my chest as I walked and overall it just felt bulky. However, with the Fuji X-T3 and 16-80 I recently purchased those problems ceased and it's also much easier to operate the clip.

This video was so awesome. Great insight into the clip and so funny too!

I get so caught up laughing at your humor I have to remember to pay attention to all the great info you're sharing. Lol. Yeah, I think I'll stick with my simple shoulder strap for now. Thanks Omar!

Quite pricey. I wondered how it felt using it though, so thanks for the vid. The hiker/bird acting was hilarious btw hahaha great vid!

I have this (for my x-e3). Here is how I usually set it up. I mount it on on a simple webbing sling (across the chest or around the neck). Pretty much like how a normal camera strap (or the peak design straps work). The great thing is that I can shoot with the strap attached (similar to bottom-mounted camera strap). But I can also unclip the camera while my webbing sling is still safely attached to my body - because it is a closed sling. (Did I explain this to an understandable level?) This is practical - since the base-plate also works as an arca-swiss plate for my tripod. It is also comfortable when switching lenses - clipping the camera in while juggling lenses and in other situations when two free hands are needed. A cheaper alternative is to pick up a webbing sling and attach two of the peak design "coin" thingies and clip one or both of them onto the camera. This also gives peace of heart - since if one of the attachments fail - the sling/camera will still be safe (The first version I made used small quick-clips - similar to the one used on the hand-strap at 9:00 above). In a sense, my earlier mods gave me more peace of heart (even if one can lock the capture-clip button). And no, the capture clip is probably not worth the money (unless one have a wish list for a birthday). It is functional though. I do not like to shoot with camera-strap. I do like to have a hand-strap. This way I can quickly attach the camera to the sling (with hand-strap mounted) - and take it off again equally fast. (When I carry my Freitag message bag I attach the clip to the shoulder-strap to work similarly). .

Omg I love your reviews! Lol!!! So much fun! Your humor is on point and not to mention informative.

Thanks for this and your other videos Omar! I have the older version of this clip and love it! I assume that the new version is better and it sure does look nicer. I mostly use it on a backpack strap while hiking with an Olympus OM-D. It's great on the backpack when your bag is loaded. The performance depends somewhat on the material and shape of your backpack straps though. PD also has a small pad that you can stuff between the back of your strap and the rear plate. This pad helps stabilize the clip on your chest and makes the setup generally more comfortable. I can vouch that you do get better operating the clip once you get the motion down too. It's never come loose on me either. As far as the plate bolt goes, the need for a tool does suck. They used to sell a mini plate with one of those integrated D-rings on the bolt for tightening without a tool. It worked a treat and I wonder why they don't offer it any more. In any case, making sure the bolt is *tight* is key. It's a single point of failure with no backup unfortunately. Another nitpick is that you have remember to keep your clip out of the sand at the beach. I've plopped my bag down with the camera removed and filled the fine mechanics of the clip with difficult-to-remove sand many a time.

Been using this for a while and love it. While I don't use it ALL the time, it's absolutely a great convenient option. The only thing that is a bit of a bummer is that it blocks the battery/SD card door, but, then again, what doesn't block that thing? Also, I think it works really well with the peak design sling, not so much their 20L backpack (I'm fortunate enough to have both. The bag was a gift/bought the sling)

I gotta say your sense of humour had me hooked 😂 Just ordered the clip after watching this

Thanks for making me laugh this morning Omar. I had similar issues when I bought it.

Great and funny review! Also thank you for pointing out muscle memory and getting used to new equipment, I feel like so many people would just chalk that up as a bad design or possibly a negative.

I use the capture with my xt3 and love it, way too expensive but now I have it I wouldn’t be without it. Great for travel and secure in crowds. I find it works best with the pro pad and I use the cuff wrist strap as well. I recently trekked the Inca trail with it and it was great. Never going back to a strap or sling. If you wear it on your belt you can sit down without taking the camera off so it’s still secure and people don’t notice you have a camera.

Used it last summer while hiking the GR20 (look it up, it's awesome) and I was sooo happy to have it. I could take quick shots, capturing small moments without having to take off my backpack and everything. I wouldn't use it on a citytrip though, way too vulnerable bumping through crowds and it's very consicuous.

That was truly an awesome review!

always amusing, and a very honest review. genius!

Been using one for years. Love it.

Great funny review, keep em coming!

Thank you! Great video-funny and informative. Thanks to your honest review showing some of the early hiccups and frustrations-I think it is helpful with setting expectations. I think I will go ahead and order one.

This is absolutely hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh!

Have the previous version. Works nice. On a serious backpack it works perfectly with a d7200+70-300mm You can use it on a shoulder bag also. Pretty versatile.

It's a nice gadget!! I bought mine used for like $40 and has taken a lot of damage over the years, almost all paint has gone out indeed xD. And still working with no issues. 3 years old many hikes and falls now and then and still working smoothly.

Thanks for the demo Omar 👍

That metal friction sound drove me crazy man. Thanks for reviewing 💯

Great video Omar! I bought one specifically for a 14day hike in the Himalayas but the clip hurts your shoulder after a while and more if you are carrying more than 10kg. I stopped using it during the 2nd day...

They also sell a support "pro pad" that you can put on your strap (or belt) and it better supports the camera when on your chest, it helps a lot with heavier setups. Also a chest strap on the backpack is kind of essential to help keep things feel balanced.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos mate. I thoroughly enjoy your work, perhaps it's the rampant dad humor that resonates? Keep it up! :)

Just stumbled on your channel and I'm subscribing because you're seriously funny. Plus you make good videos. Thanks for the great content!

I have the Peak Design strap light I'm thinking for the clip, but I don't like to have an extra think after the grip on my X-E2. Thank you for the video Omar, keep it going and I will like an update video in the future of your experience with it!

I like it a bit higher on the strap - more comfy.

Love your fun videos keep it up!

Thanks for the laughs and awesome review!

Hi omar, you are really funny when it comes to reviewing stuff. Kudos! I'm a big fan of yours.

This is one entertaining video! Planning to buy the latest sling and the clip for work!

This depends greatly on the straps on your backpack! On casual backpacks like the one in this video, you're attaching the clip in a way where its underside directly presses on your body. Many proper hiking backpacks have straps where you can attach the clip in a way where the main backpack strap padding is actually in between your body and the underside of the clip (the main strap has a thinner secondary strap on top of it and you attach stuff to only that part of the strap)! I tried the clip with both types of backpacks and I hated the one where it presses on my body (I found it basically unusable), but with my hiking backpack where the strap padding is in between the clip and my body I took it for an 8-hour hike and even after using it the whole day that way it didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

@@selwin2004 Haven't been on the market for a hiking backpack in a very long time, so can't give recommendations. But hiking backpacks have three types of straps: shoulder strap, chest strap, and load-lifter/stabilizer strap which helps position the weight of your pack better. The trick is to find one where the load-lifter strap is implemented so that the adjustment strap runs the length of you shoulder strap (rather than being much shorter), making it possible to clip accessories like this on conveniently at whatever height on the strap you want.

Omar, your videos were funny always! Doesn't matter it helps me or not. Keep it coming. You have missed few thing of this clip. I had two, and love it. The plate is also an ARCA type tripod quick release plate. So you could leave it on camera all time if you are using travel tripod. The push release button can turned to lock the button to preventing accidental release. There is belt mounting pad you can buy makes belt mounting easier and very comfortable. There is Pro version for bigger camera with bigger lens.

Great video Omar. I have the first generation of this clip and I use it a lot. I do find myself checking after I clip the camera each time by pulling up. There were a few times I heard it click but it popped right back out from the clip so it is possible to get it in there without a solid latch. I do recommend the product.

This is an old video by now, but you earned my sub just by showing you can mount it on a belt without the extra $20 belt mount they sell. Love the way you show it off and I’m excited to get mine soon!

Your a funny man Omar and your videos are always fun and informative. Thank you.

Holy cow! I am watching your video in Banff Canada because I saw some stranger hiking with her camera clipped to her bag so I googled it and knew this is from peak design! Wow what a coincidence 😂

I use one at every wedding, mounting my X-T3 with up to my 90mm on my belt. It is a bit expensive but it's super solid and I trust it. I also use it on my backpack but less frequently.

I just recently picked up one of these. What I found is for back pack works far better if you have some stuff in the pack to weigh it down also to have a chest strap, those 2 things make a big difference. As far as putting it in and out, I put it on my left strap and hold the lens with ur left hand its much less awkward then trying to hold the grip. When removing, grab the lens with the left hand and use the right hand to push the button. I find this feels safest and easiest.. Also they show in the product video if ur using a small lens like a pancake put the camera vertical so it doesn't flop down like it was for you.. Hope this helps.. Cheers

Oh man, I love your videos so much, you’re hilarious and just so natural. It’s so relatable!! Amazing 🤩

Hi Omar ! Loved the review (especially the birds shots simulation ^^). There's actually a third "secret" way to use the clip, that is not advertised by Peak Design : You can use it on a shoulder strap, and it becomes a sliding sling (then, you barely need to unclip your camera anymore, unless you wanna swap batteries or put it on a tripod). It's by very far my favorite way to use it. Only issue with this method is that for the clip to slide up and down the sling, you have to let a little space between the plates, so you can't completely tighten the screws, and in doing so, they sometimes get looser ocvertime, so make sure every few days to tighten the screws.

@LimitedWard

It would probably be pretty easy to 3D print an adapter which sandwiches in between the front and back plates with holes for attaching the strap. That way the screws wouldn't come loose as easily.

That has to be one of the funniest Sh!t I have seen in a long, long time!!! Thanks for the chuckles Omar!!!

Great video as always 👍 I‘ve been using the V3 for several high altitude hikes and climbs (glaciers and stuff) where you can’t take off your backpack for a shot. Absolutely fantastic with my Fuji XT20 either with kit or pancake lens. Fits well on proper backpacks with waist belts and sternum strap (Deuter and similar). I additionally secure the camera by tying the wrist strap into the sternum strap - so I can click the camera off and take a picture with no risk of dropping it. Just check frequently that the plate is still tightly screwed to the camera body. Easy one-hand action and never dropped the camera. If needed, you can also lock the release button by twisting it. Worth every penny. You have to practise, gun-slinger…😎

With one camera on a strap and the other on the capture clip - I have found this to be great way to handle event photography. I use the clip on the belt with the Pro Pad V2 and I use the Dual Plate V2 which does allow you use flat screwdriver.

Showing some of the learning curve of new products should be shown more often, good add. First time seeing one of your videos, looking forward to seeing more of them :)

Oh Omar, I am so glad I found your video. You made me laugh so much and your review was excellent. I'm about to buy it as well, and even though peak design chap did a great review selling the thing, yours was by far the best. The peak design straps (slide) are way better though then those clippy things.

Well…. First time viewer and had a great laugh watching this. Clicking the subscribe button for sure!! Thanks for the very authentic review. 😊

I love this clip. I use it often with a Canon T7i on a backpack. The key to using it with a back pack is to have a back pack with relatively thick straps along the lines of a hiking pack. I usually have it sitting just below my collar bone. To pull it out of the clip, I always use two hands but my right hand just hooks a couple of fingers under the grip while the thumb goes for the button while my left grabs the lens.

PD makes great products. I use their straps with quick release and the anchors look great on camera. I will most likely pick up the capture clip as well. Great video...very funny!

Hahaha I love you....You’re hilarious. I’m thinking about getting one of these clips, its already in my wishlist on Amazon. I thought I should watch a few more reviews first before I make a hasty purchase, I’m ordering the Peak Design strap also.

The clip without the plate is cheaper, so well worth it. Once you have one plate, you can use it with all of their other products like the new tripod 👍🏻

LOL, I appreciate you showing the learning curve for the clip, I feel like a lot of vids would leave that out :)

Entertaining video Omar made me smail and I do like the Optek straps that click on and off v cool cheers

The random pictures made me laugh. Haha Subscribed!

haha, you're too much! I have the clip and when I am hiking on all 4s it is really helpful as the camera doesn't bang around while I climb. I actually love it. Come back to Toronto already!

I can honestly say this is a game changer for hiking. Neck straps and sling straps result in too much dangling, which is not ideal when scrambling over rocks. My favorite combo is to put the clip on my backpack and attach a PD wrist strap to the tripod plate. That way I can use the wrist strap for security when shooting and the capture clip when I want my hands free.

That was so funny ... 😂😂 i have been doin the holster challenge too ... undecided...although it sure is smoooth

Great Video Omar. Good idea! For me it would be good to use when shooting at an event, wedding etc. Where you would have easy access to spare camera, without having to delve in to your camera bag and losing that special moment. Think with cameras now being more compact and lighter for me I will stick to carrying my gear in the camera pack or just carrying camera as normal. Getting older now lol but not half the weight for me to carry now days. Praise be lol
