Great (with possible improvements)

I bought this clip and used extensively on a 10 day photo tour of Iceland. It was used with three different cameras and two different backpacks. I am writing this review in Reykjavik waiting for the bus to take me to the airport. My thoughts:
The good: It was great to be able to shoot with two cameras and switch back and for so easily. I never had to change lenses in the field, with wind rain and sand prevalent. It is much more secure than any strap system I have tried.
Note that it works much better with a backpack with a chest strap. Without a sternal strap I found inserting and removing the camera to be tricky, with the strap it is much easier.
Could be better: the plates tend to loosen if they are attached to a L-bracket. I needed to tighten them several times a day, but this issue was rarely present if the plate was attached to the base of the camera. I think this is because the area of contact with the plate is much smaller with the bracket. I would suggest that Peak Design make a longer plate that would span both sides of the bracket. You would lose the four way insertion option of the square plate, but as the camera is almost always pointed lens down that is a small price to pay for extra stability. I would be happy to test a prototype!

Such a brilliant invention. I love the flexibility this gives me to have my camera on my hip or on my backpack strap exactly where I need it. The lens kit is one of my favorite accessories ever.

Excellent design by photographers for photographers! The clip is so small yet durable! Having a clip that can be placed anywhere I want that doesn't add any weight, while using the same base as a tripod provides much flexibility and convenience. I like to hold on to my camera during my travel journeys as interesting opportunities pop up in a flash and you need to be ready. Putting it in the bag is not an option, but hanging it around the next hurts when the day gets long. The clip is the answer! I put it on my bag's strap and I can access it with one hand in a flash!

The best of all worlds

Finally a way to have both of my cameras quickly and easily accessible, and carry them hands-free, securely and comfortably–even when I'm using long, heavy lenses. Photography is an even greater pleasure now that I no longer have to deal with getting a sore neck, tangling up in the straps or futzing in my backpack and missing a shot.

Very cool piece of equipment, satisfying click to confirm lock of the camera, easy to mount on different packs.

Sleek and useful

I used to think that the idea of carrying my very expensive camera from something like the Capture clip was a bad idea, but I've got tired of having to take it out of my backpack every time I want to take a photo on a hike. Decided to give the Capture clip a whirl. It's been great so far. Took some time to get used to the weight distribution on the shoulder - balancing the weight of the contents in the backpack is critical. But taking photos on a hike is a lot more convenient now!

Received my Capture Clip today and can't stop holding and admiring it! The fit and finish of this accessory is superb, Absolutely no sharp edges or corners to catch and the anodizing finish is perfection! Thanks PD - 5 Stars!
