Great way to carry a camera

I had the previous version of the capture clip but recently got a new camera and lens that wouldn't really fit on it. The new slimmer version works perfectly, and provides the same great way of carrying a camera on my backpack strap while I'm out hiking. Super convenient, don't have to worry about a strap getting caught up on my water or backpack.
Tried this capture clip to use on a backpack strap. It was very very difficult to get it on but once on it is very tight. I can see that the screws would need to be checked now and then to insure they stay tight. My dSLR and large lens stay secure. Wanted to use it for bike rides but is too bulky, great for hiking tho! I am not tall 5'1" and therefore not a lot of clearance from a larger dSLR/lens and my waist! Just something to keep in mind.
I got the capture clip with the lens kit and its super handy! It's a little hard to install onto my backpack strap, maybe because the strap is a little thick (it seemed like a standard size to me). Once it was on though, it felt very secure. I take photos and video for a parks department so being able to change a lens easily is so helpful, especially on dirty and snowy trails!
Great design and really ingenious. I always have been annoyed at having to set my backpack down, unzip it, swap lenses, put my backpack back on THEN take the picture I want to take. Now I can easily just swap lenses back and forth with capture clip lens kit combo. Really well thought out and executed.
So I use your Capture on my belt with your Slide strap together with the camera at a 45 degree angle. Distributes the weight well this way and provide two secure points. Very well made gear.
Recently added a second Capture clip and a Por Pad to my camera backpack. The Capture Clip and Pro Pad are great together and help better distribute the weight of my camera and lenses. Beware of the knockoffs of these devices.
A camera buddy of mine had the clip he bought from a Facebook ad. While we were hiking on a fairly good trail, his knockoff clip disconnected and sent his camera in a freefall. Luckily, he had the camera strap around his neck and it caught the camera before hitting the ground. I loaned him my 2nd Capture Clip for the rest of the hike. Thanks for the great products. Ron
This is such a great way to carry a camera. It makes carrying my D750 and 50mm lens a breeze, even on my hip. It even works with my much larger 70-200mm on the same camera, but doesn't feel quite as effortless then. Super easy to clip the camera in and take it back out very quickly, which is great when you're on a hike or even just a walk and need your camera secure but accessible!
This product is sturdy. It has been with me for many years by now and never betrayed me. I has always carried my gear superbly and I would definitely recommend it
