Great upgrade!

I recently upgraded from the v2 Capture to the v3 Capture and after using it on a few hikes, I can say it is worth it! I was a little worried that the new Capture wouldn't fit my backpack straps, because they're pretty wide, but I was able to get it on with little effort by slightly squeezing my straps and using the longer Allen key screws. The new Capture is much lighter than my previous one, so my backpack strap doesn't sag as much as it previously did when the camera was off the clip. The flatter profile of the plate is also nice, which makes it easier for me to balance my camera when I put it on a table now. Overall, I am happy with my purchase!
I've been using the capture clip for years with multiple different cameras. First my old Nikon D90, then the lighter Olympus EM-5, and now with the Sony A7iii. When I'm hiking I like to have my hands free, but also have my camera at the ready. The Capture Clip is the perfect solution. It has been easy to adjust the clip retention and I never had a problem with the clip accidently releasing the camera. When I lost a screw on the trail (I neglected to adequately tighten it) peak sent me a new set of screws no questions asked and a discount toward another order. I expect to be using the Capture Clip well into the future. My legs will probably give out before the clip does. And I know that I'll be getting other Peak Designs products in the future. I've got my eye on the travel tripod. I just need to drop a note to Santa.
I wasn't disappointed by this clip and am getting a ton of use out of it. Unfortunately, with me using it all the time attached to my bag with the larger screws, I lost one of the screws. Given that I was using that bag all the time, I should have attached the clip with the semi-permanent screws instead, as was advised. Fortunately, there's a warranty and I was able to file a claim with no problem whatsoever. The warranty process was so easy. Peak Design sent me a brand new screw set with no further questions asked. It's fantastic knowing you have a great team behind a great product.
I use this clip (and the bino kit) for my binoculars. The clip is incredibly easy to use and "install," and the choice between hand and hex drive bolts. I move my clip around a lot, so the hand bolts are preferable to me. But I could see myself wanted the hex drives after I find the perfect spot for the clip.
I recently purchase the Clip and go Pro POV and I could not be more than happy with the product. It is a quality product and worth every Dollar spent. I am excited to use it for my next adventure up in Nepal and the POV kit for Scuba Diving @ Pacific North West. I assembled the product and it looks so cool. The set up is great and helps a lot in the long trek keeping it hands free yet easy and quick to snap the camera out to take capture the moments. very nice product!!!
I had the Version 2 and have used that regularly on my belt loop for my second (mirrorless) camera while shooting air shows. It really enhances the convenience of using two cameras and being able to swap between the two without getting camera straps tangled. Just got back from a trip to Rocky Mt. Nat Park doing a lot of hiking with the clip mounted on the strap of my Peak Design Everyday Backpack. I used only a single camera in this case but the convenience and mobility of this mount was incredible. Finally, I've just ordered and received the version 3. This is much improved and will be nice to use on my backpack strap since it is smaller and more streamline. Highly recommend it!
My Capture (clip only) and P.O.V. Kit were delivered today so I've been out to test how they work on a backpack using my GoPro Hero 4 Session and Hero 5 Black and the results are in. This setup works really well with a GoPro and turns a backpack into a stable mount for the camera. It's beautifully designed and manufactured and I wasn't aware at any time of feeling the clip pressing into my chest as I have been with alternative mounts that rely on Velcro to hold everything in place. Congratulations on coming up with such a great solution to mounting a GoPro on a backpack!
