I am an amateur photographer and bought this as a means to carry my DSLR on hiking/backpacking trips. I was tired of having my camera slung over my shoulder and flopping around when hiking. This mount is easy to install on the backpack strap and simple to use. Peak Design has great tutorial videos as well to help with this process. I have used it on local hikes up to 13 miles on fairly technical terrain and haven't had any issues with security or ease of use. It's definitely a game changer if you're looking for a way to carry your camera that makes getting it quick and convenient with having the piece of mind that your equipment is secure.
I got his clip for when i went hiking for a few days. I used in on my backpack strap and it was really convenient, the camera was help in place very well even on the more adventurous parts of the hike. All in all a great purchase and addition to my PD strap.
I've put this purchase off for a few years because I use an L bracket by RRL and wasn't sure how much of a pain it would be to swap the baseplate just to have the convenience of clipping it to my backpack strap. Luckily my L bracket has a screw hole that fits the Peak Design plate! Yes I'll have to remove it, but I think it will be worth saving my neck. The part itself is beautifully machined and simple. It fits on my backpack strap no problem. Can't wait to try it out in the field.
