  • We look at a new way to carry your camera! A belt and backpack clip! Peak design has an amazing product, but is it really worth $70 (with plate)? That's a LOT of Eggo waffles.
    *correction, the Sony a7III with the Meike grip WILL WORK if you turn the capture clip button-down. Thanks!

    If you’re going to use this on a back pack I’d recommend a back pack with a sternum strap. It makes a hell of a difference.

  • @billkipper3264
    @billkipper3264 2 роки тому +2

    I have one on my day pack. It works very well and definitely has become easier to use with time and usage. Other than the initial difficulties getting the camera off and on the clip I only had one gripe. With my Canon 60D with my 15-85 on it the front of the lens would dig into my chest as I walked and overall it just felt bulky. However, with the Fuji X-T3 and 16-80 I recently purchased those problems ceased and it's also much easier to operate the clip.

  • @keithmoorechannel

    After you get used to it and attach it at the proper location on your pack strap (and with a proper pack) this clip is super convenient. That said I do use a 4:3 Olympus, that is a bit smaller than a full frame.

    Been using this for a while and love it. While I don't use it ALL the time, it's absolutely a great convenient option. The only thing that is a bit of a bummer is that it blocks the battery/SD card door, but, then again, what doesn't block that thing? Also, I think it works really well with the peak design sling, not so much their 20L backpack (I'm fortunate enough to have both. The bag was a gift/bought the sling)

    That thing is a must when you're hiking or roaming the city all day. It sure is expensive, but it's worth it. However, I think it's better if you buy it in a set. I got mine with a few straps, etc. and was able to save some money.
    Tip: I'm right-handed and prefer to have it on the left side (backpack strap). I grab the lens with my left hand and push the button with my right thumb. Usually it will be the X-T20 with the 18-55 :3
    PS: I wouldn't trust my $1,400 Fuji setup to a cheap one bought from Amazon. I'd rather pay the $70 than having to pay 20 times that because my camera fell on the ground. However, I'd also recommend you check that the screws are not loose before you go out, because if you leave it on and with much use they may get a bit loose. One thing I regret, though: not getting the plate with Arca Swiss mount.

      I agree. You need a backpack with a chest strap. I own a peak design everyday backpack and the same capture clip and it works well since the backpack straps are in the rigid side. Did some hiking in Hallstatt and several other cities and it does come in handy. Also with practice and a smaller camera like an x-t2 or an x-t20 you can easily unclip with your thumb.

    Love that you do things that are realistic (with humor) rather than the manufacturer's videos which tend to be set up to make everything look easy. I bought one yesterday but my backpack(s) strap(s) are all wider than the capture clips. I don't ever wear a belt and the thought of wearing a heavy one just to support the capture isn't appealing. I do use a FF DSLR and so am now convinced I'll go with the harness setup from Think Tank which uses the camera strap to support the camera hanging in front...so off the neck. Thanks for the honest evaluation and laughs. p.s. I will now watch your other videos!

    i actually got this clip for the same exact intention- I was going backpacking in banff and wanted to my camera easily accessible, my hands free, and no extra weight swinging around. It didn't work out as great as I hoped. On the backpack strap, the metal really dug into my shoulder over time and was painful. I should try the belt, but also seems like not the best place for hiking or scrambling

    It is definitely overpriced for the money. It is well made, but they must make thousands of them and surely mass production ought to bring the price down. A sling camera bag makes a good alternative. I don’t think that many portfolio photos have been necessarily taken by someone ‘whipping’ their camera out like a gun and ‘snapping’ a shot. Good photos take far more consideration.
    Also have you noticed that a lot of UA-cam photographers have a clip on their backpacks, but then proceed to take their cameras out of their packs in the videos! Just wearing the capture clip for sponsorship?

  • @Katherine_AZ
    @Katherine_AZ 5 років тому +7

    You crack me up! I adore the Capture Clip, especially in the days I was doing major hiking with my Canon 5D MIII. It works best if your pack has some weight (for counter balance), placing it a smidge higher, and using a breast strap between the shoulder straps on the pack for stabilizing the weight left to right. The clip is also a tripod attachment, so no more fiddling when switching handheld to carry to tripod. On my Fuji XT2 setup when in the city I'm more likely to use Peak Design's sling camera strap so the camera is readily available but I'll put the Capture Clip on my camera bag or backpack if I want to keep the camera from swinging around, e.g. when moving actively or climbing around something.

    This depends greatly on the straps on your backpack! On casual backpacks like the one in this video, you're attaching the clip in a way where its underside directly presses on your body. Many proper hiking backpacks have straps where you can attach the clip in a way where the main backpack strap padding is actually in between your body and the underside of the clip (the main strap has a thinner secondary strap on top of it and you attach stuff to only that part of the strap)! I tried the clip with both types of backpacks and I hated the one where it presses on my body (I found it basically unusable), but with my hiking backpack where the strap padding is in between the clip and my body I took it for an 8-hour hike and even after using it the whole day that way it didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

      @@selwin2004 Haven't been on the market for a hiking backpack in a very long time, so can't give recommendations. But hiking backpacks have three types of straps: shoulder strap, chest strap, and load-lifter/stabilizer strap which helps position the weight of your pack better. The trick is to find one where the load-lifter strap is implemented so that the adjustment strap runs the length of you shoulder strap (rather than being much shorter), making it possible to clip accessories like this on conveniently at whatever height on the strap you want.

    Hi Omar, great video. Live it!
    I own the older version of this, basically the same but more bulky and with a thread at the bottom (to mount it at a tripod) I used it to carry a Canon G16 (compact camera) first, now I use the X-T20 with serious glass and some film SLR cameras with the FL/FD mount.
    In my experience it is a great tool to carry your camera and I love using it every time I'm out on the streets.
    On a backpack make sure it's on the right height and a chest strap helps to ensure shoulder movement but keep it on the left side. On the belt I mount it with the release button downwards because I always release it with my pinky. One handed of course. I guess we Germans are too efficient and probably need the other hand to catch the BIRD! Anyway, check out the straps from peak design. They are awesome as well. Keep it up!

    Peak has said they prefer the allen wrench installation because a coin would not allow for sufficient torque to properly secure the plate to your camera. Their thinking is your camera will literally hang from this plate for extended periods of time, so they don't want to chance that the plate is not tight enough on the body.

    • @DJshutterfly

      I like the idea of the added tightening of the Allen wrench but I seem to be bad at having one at the worst possible time.

And neither manufacturer covered the damage under warranty.

    I can honestly say this is a game changer for hiking. Neck straps and sling straps result in too much dangling, which is not ideal when scrambling over rocks.
    My favorite combo is to put the clip on my backpack and attach a PD wrist strap to the tripod plate. That way I can use the wrist strap for security when shooting and the capture clip when I want my hands free.

  • @glacieractivity

    I have this (for my x-e3). Here is how I usually set it up. I mount it on on a simple webbing sling (across the chest or around the neck). Pretty much like how a normal camera strap (or the peak design straps work). The great thing is that I can shoot with the strap attached (similar to bottom-mounted camera strap). But I can also unclip the camera while my webbing sling is still safely attached to my body - because it is a closed sling. (Did I explain this to an understandable level?)
    This is practical - since the base-plate also works as an arca-swiss plate for my tripod. It is also comfortable when switching lenses - clipping the camera in while juggling lenses and in other situations when two free hands are needed.
    A cheaper alternative is to pick up a webbing sling and attach two of the peak design "coin" thingies and clip one or both of them onto the camera. This also gives peace of heart - since if one of the attachments fail - the sling/camera will still be safe (The first version I made used small quick-clips - similar to the one used on the hand-strap at 9:00 above).
    In a sense, my earlier mods gave me more peace of heart (even if one can lock the capture-clip button). And no, the capture clip is probably not worth the money (unless one have a wish list for a birthday).
    It is functional though. I do not like to shoot with camera-strap. I do like to have a hand-strap. This way I can quickly attach the camera to the sling (with hand-strap mounted) - and take it off again equally fast.
    (When I carry my Freitag message bag I attach the clip to the shoulder-strap to work similarly).

    I use one at every wedding, mounting my X-T3 with up to my 90mm on my belt. It is a bit expensive but it's super solid and I trust it. I also use it on my backpack but less frequently.

    your comment on the 4-ways entry is super funny. By the way, I am still using the 1st generation and it is still the best solution compares to other. However, I tend to use it on my belt rather on the shoulder strap. It keeps getting the way when I move my arm. Anyway, it is by far the most compact and easy to use.....once you adapted it. I have tried few other options, like Spider, but either they are so bulky or more expensive. I would love to get the latest generation of Capture, but since the old one is still going strong, can't give it up yet.

    I have one of these and I find it invaluable for weddings and events, when working a two-camera scenario. One on a strap around my neck, the other (usually X-T2 with the XF56mm) sits on the Peak Design clip on my belt. I usually have it the other way up so the release button faces downwards, that way I can press it with the ring finger on my right hand as I slide the camera out. Smooooth, most of the time. Just need to remember not to smack the belt camera into the one hanging from your neck strap on the way up!
    Oh, and make sure your belt's done up tightly enough to support the weight of the camera...

    Works better, is more stable on a more substantial strap/pack. Left side carry with 2 hand release works for me. I keep it permanently attached to a bag for rucking.

    Quite late here but do not lament the little tightening key they give you. It has a metal ring so do what I do - put it on my keychain! LOL Thanks for reviewing. I initially got the Spider Black Widow but after a LOT of searching it seems my gear may be a bit too heavy. They were not at all forthcoming with any weight limits. PS - I like your style - most amusing seeing the intro's various ways to "hold" a camera!

  • @Bazzasphotolife
    @Bazzasphotolife 5 років тому +2

    haha, you're too much! I have the clip and when I am hiking on all 4s it is really helpful as the camera doesn't bang around while I climb. I actually love it. Come back to Toronto already!

  • @oc2phish07

    Omni-Directional. And the mounting screw would be better if they used the same design and SmallRig with a built in, folding ring. No need for either an Allen Key OR a coin. Nice review as always Omar.

    Just found and love this video!! I never once looked at how much longer it was. Very entertaining. I even laughed out-loud a bunch of times!. HOWEVER, just bought this capture clip and super disappointed. I can't use it with an L-bracket and tripod plate. Can attach it to the :-bracket, but have to switch the capture clip and tripod plate on and off depending on which I want to use when. They don't mount on top of each other. And $70 is a lot of having to do that.

  • @Tim596100
    @Tim596100 5 років тому +1

    Philips heads or coin screws slots can round off over time because they aren't that strong. Also screwdrivers are bigger than allen keys, and coins aren't standard sizes and some countries might not have the right size. That is probably why they made it a hex key.

    Just got one. Can confirm that if your pack doesn't have a lot of weight on it with thicc straps, it'll be really *really* uncomfortable. For backpacking with one of those top-open packs (damn them to hell) it makes camera use a dream and you hardly notice it on your shoulder.

  • @HVACUncensored
    @HVACUncensored 4 роки тому

    Lol great video man. I use mine upside down. I know they say don’t do that but it works with my A6600. That way I slide it up to lock it and when the button is one the outside and camera falls right out with hand on the grip. Just an idea. Definitely a new subscriber.

  • @kd5nrh

    If you ever have any doubts about the Capture price, look what $53 gets you in the Black Rapid Backpack Sling.
    (Don't get me wrong, the BR is good, but damn, it's not much for the price.)
    As for using it on a pack, you want something with more structure to the straps. The BR works better when there's too much flop in the straps. (And slings are faster to the eye anyway, though the flop can be a problem in rough terrain: you get your own personal wrecking ball banging the crap out of your thigh for 5-10 miles.)
    And maybe they just hate you: my plate screw has a slot.
    Then don't forget to look at the preowned section of PD's website for deals. I only paid $47.99 shipped for my Capture.

    "Ooh there's a bird." *exasperated gasps*
    I'm dying. LOL.
    I normally hang camera #1 with a 70-200 from a Spiderpro belt using a tripod collar plate. It can attach to the collar plate with two screws and is nice and sturdy. Camera #2 with the 24-70 is then hung across the body on a BlackRapid QD strap, and my 14-24 is placed into a medium lens pouch from Spiderpro in appendix position. Works well, gives me quick access to both cameras with zero headaches, and if I don't carry the extra lens, that pouch can hold phone, keys, wallet, etc.
    I wanted to put one of these guys on a camera bag strap in case I wanted to carry camera #2 externally but seeing your headaches, I don't know that I will now. Meh.

  • @jdjames997
    @jdjames997 3 роки тому

    I watch a lot of UA-cam, i haven’t laughed that much in some time!!! Hilarious watching you install & attempt to use this clip. I just bought this clip myself, and honestly it isn’t as easy as it might look to set up and operate, hence why I looked up your video. Worth every laugh my friend, I just Subed because i couldn’t stop literally crying 😂 😆👍
    By the way, I had this thing in my Amazon cart like 10 times before i finally had a credit and bought it. The Peak backpacks are worth the money, but this thing seems ridiculous at $70, I feel your pain. I’m sorta new to photography (😳) and honestly I’m shocked how expensive all camera gear is, especially the better stuff. I’ve worked in manufacturing for several companies, and some of this shit is massively overpriced….”Bird” 😂

  • @DrUndoTattoo

    Thank you. I didnt like the fact it only works with its own camera base and not any arca. Now that it seems uncomfortable as well its a no go for me.

  • @chuckdavidson5483
    @chuckdavidson5483 Рік тому

    It's totally worth it. I bought a knockoff version for $25. It works aok. But fit and finish of the Peak is VERY VERY good. It feels better, and therefore works better.

    Realize this is a ‘late to the party’ comment, but was looking into purchasing one of these, so checking out all the reviews on it.
    I must say, you are a riot, Omar! Totally captivating, and very humorous! As a result, chalk me up as a new Subscriber!
    I think I will try this out. Only negative I’ve heard is the plate that fastens to the bottom of camera has caused random damage on some cameras, but this may be due to user error? It is smaller than a typical arca plate, so maybe it doesn’t disperse the stress as much? Who the hell knows?
    Stay safe and Healthy! Peace! 👍👍👍✌🏻📷😁

  • @markjones127

    I hike a lot and have a lot of packs; I like the clip but it's too small for some of my packs meaning I'm very limited to where I can attach it, it also rocks and bounces a bit depending on where its attached, I've just bought the Ulanzi claw version which is bigger and bulkier, and it's solved all these issues, it's fits onto my biggest and thickest straps easily.

It's like the Original of the 30 cheap amazon copies. I'd love for you to do a review on that because not only am I considering it, but I think you'd like the spider light holster. :)

  • @Empathies92
    @Empathies92 4 роки тому

    I bought one of these a couple months ago, and I'm currently wondering if I'll get a second one.
    When mounted on my backpack strap I use my pinky to push the unlock button, so I get my D500 (with 70-300mm lens attached) off with one hand, and I pretty quickly got used to (un)clipping it with muscle memory
    When mounted on my backpack belt-strap I use my thumb to unlock it. Works like a charm
    So the reason I'm wondering if I'll get a second set is for
    1) having a clip on backpack strap + belt-strap (just to switch positions depending on conditions)
    2) having an extra plate to attach to my 200-500mm lens collar to see how that works

  • @simonwilliams2109
    @simonwilliams2109 5 років тому

    Thanks Omar. Maybe if the release button was on the outside, when you fumble around to grab the camera you may accidentally push the release sending your Sony CRASHING to the ground! No big deal ..... only joking!
    Thanks again.

  • @desmobob900sssp
    @desmobob900sssp Рік тому

    The reason it's not working well for you is that you really need to add the Peakdesign ProPad to provide some backing/body to your backpack strap. With that added, it works really well!

  • @toshadavinci5379

    PGY Tech do the beetle and a POV clip which is much much better (quality and functionality) . If you are carry a heavier camera a sternum pouch is better as in it spreads the load ,is more balanced and offers better camera protection.
