New and unique way to hold your small camera

I used a simple strap with the a FujiFilm body case without the "EverReady" cover for two years, but this is more minimal, and more versatile. I can still use a strap, if I want, and now I can use a tripod, if I want. I have security with this little strap, and can add a cuff strap to make it totally secure. Just a click away, more versatility, More is more!

Works great
on August 20, 2023

I purchased the L-plate variant to attach to my Fujifilm X-T5, XF 16-80 and XF 70-300. It definitely assisted with carrying the heavier gear.
There were a few initial comfort issues, though nothing that couldn’t be solved by moving the hand pad and plate. (Pro tip: get the plate just slightly loose, then adjust it while holding the camera the way you usually would.)
The bigger issue for me is that… I don’t really need the Clutch. Turns out I hold my camera at all sorts of angles, not just straight ahead, and once I do that it becomes more comfortable for me to not hold it in the Clutch. This then creates a risk of dropping my gear, so if you’re like me I would highly recommend the Cuff/Capture combination.
None of this is the fault of the product though, so I won’t ding it for that. And it does get out of the way comfortably, not interfering with the camera’s grip.
With regard to the plate covering the battery door, I can’t say it’s been a huge issue. (Though, the Fuji has its card door on the side.) Still, it’s easy enough to remove and replace with the integrated tool.

I initially got this for a a7c (meh) but it found its true home on a Ricoh GRiiix. Now I consider it an essential accessory for that camera.
It just makes one-handed shooting so easy; little finger underneath for support, middle two through the loop resting on the lens base, making up for the lack of a grip, index finger on the front dial and shutter, and thumb free for rear controls. Easy to walk around with it loose in hand, and if it’s pocketed the grip is an easy handle to quickly pull it out for action.
Yes, installation requires an extra anchor, and even that’s a tight fit (pull it up through the slot with a loop of floss or nylon leader). But once it’s done, it’s all good.

Small yet functional

Was not sure this would actually work like it did. Small, yet very functional. Does not take away from the lines and look of the camera.

Fits Great with Sony A7R3
on September 8, 2023

I know this plate doesn't fit right on some of the other cameras, but on the A7R3 this is awesome. Take the time to find the right fit and it really changed the way I secure the camera on my hand. Used it for a couple months now (backed the Kickstarter) and I have to say it is very useful for me.
It is a little bit more challenging to use the side access of my backpack when I have the mounting plate on (that extra height mattered) but nothing you can do on that one I suppose. Battery access is not an issue for me as I don't shoot enough to make it a problem on a trip.

Great once you get it attached right

At first i didn’t think that this fit my camera (Sony A7c) very well and made it less comfortable to use. But after watching some of their videos and figuring out how to correctly adjust the sizing of it; I’m really happy with it. It’s especially nice for grabbing my camera and pulling it from my back up into shooting position when I have it slung over my shoulder using the Peak Design sling strap.
