2Peak Design Capture camera clip V3, black
Capture clips a camera to a backpack strap or belt. That keeps it steady and close to hand on a hike or a bike ride, without a strap swinging round their neck. It suits photographers who walk a long way with their camera.
Pros
- Clips to any belt, strap or bag.
Cons
- The camera sits out on the strap, so it's open to knocks.
