the closet door is open the closet door is open hey guys Omar here and are you
tired of holding your camera like this or like this or maybe sometimes like
this? well we've got a solution for you! the peak design cap this by the way is
not a commercial I bought this with my own money I'm checking out the capture
camera clip from peak design and this thing was 70 bucks so I'm opening it now
with you and I think my real question is it worth 70 bucks
and I was super interested in this because I was in Banff Canada beautiful
landscapes and I was going with my normal way of carrying my gear which is
this bag on the side and everything was fine and dandy until I saw awesome hiker
just hiking up with his camera on the peak design clip it was a little jealous
so let's try it today let's see if it really is worth $69 now with that said
there's some cheaper options I've gotten these little belt clips on Amazon this
one's called the MUB Bobo toe I'll link some of them below but they're okay I
mean they're a lot cheaper but they come with these ungodly plates look at this
thing anyway let's take a look at it nice packaging here so oh you don't have
to unbox at all look at that what a great unboxing
okay now you can take your camera everywhere look at the size of that DSLR
we need to try this that can't be comfortable
okay there's instructions inside as well and let's see Oh is a little carrying
case that's nice what's inside this guy there is bolts little multi-tool is
there anything else in here oh there's like a piece of paper or a sticker
sticker branding and the back is connected kind of like the toys we used
to have yeah I can't please with the packaging make it easier okay it's
definitely well-made Full Metal Jacket right there and just by looking at it it
looks like it's got a little Clippy clip system here push it this way push no
slide oh oh okay so this goes on your camera and you will this goes on your
cool backpack and they'd all like cool kids you're using and you'll just slip
the camera in there and it's locked in then when you need to take off your
camera you just push this little button nice design nice and smooth let's see
how it actually feels because right now in this position is not super easy to do
let's check it out okay some features of the plate there's a universal quarter
inch screw for your camera there's four way and that sounds totally dirty
it's uni-directional so you can kind of put the plate in any direction that
sounds cool okay so the clip opens up on one side if you guess I'll screw in the
right side unscrew the left side great so you can put it on a bag like this and
if you want a more secure connection it seems like it comes with these little
hex bolts if you permanently want to put the clip on the bag or a belt forever
for now I'll just be using these little hand ties until the camera faults all
right so let's try a backpack first see how quick and easy it is put it on the
strap
okay slightly annoying is that you can't use a coin to tighten the plate that's
one of my pet peeves is you don't always have a hex bolt around but you always
have a quarter or you always have something that can a screwdriver but
here we need the stupid hex off oh okay got it it would have been nice to see a
coin adjustable little plate thingamabob all right let's try it
peak design test number one okay I have it too high so what if you have a padded
backpack you just it just takes a little bit more work to put it on but it does
go on and it I could tighten a little bit more but let's see how it feels with
the Fuji XT2 there and you got a little pancake lens on oh that's kind of
weird totally not you said it's totally
hanging down strap that's weird the cameras hanging down maybe we need a lot
of bigger lens makes no sense I guess with a pancake lens to use this peak
design so we're gonna put it in here come on on this is the struggle with
something new you know all the stuff will get better as you use it more and
more that's the first time I'm using it so it's not a review oh did it clip I'd
be a little scared I would definitely check first to make sure everything's
clip but um oh my god this is the lightest camera that I'm testing and I
don't think I'm a fan of having this right on my backpack strap you know what
it should be on the other side right it should be on this side because idiot $70
$70 still don't know if it's worth $70 okay it's on this side this may be
better or location okay that feels a little better on that side and when you
want to take it out the button is inside maybe you use your thumb help me guys in
the comments is it a two-handed release or a
one-handed release okay so there you go your need to watch some videos on this
so here we go with a Canon 5d Mark four clipped in and it has a 17 to 40
millimeter lens on there and I don't like it on a backpack maybe if the
backpack had a lot more stuff in it that's an empty backpack but let's see
if I get good at it okay ooh there's a bird ooh I can't
release it fast enough I guess it'd take some muscle memory so
I may have it on the wrong side anyway it may not be this side because the
button I have to reach around and I'm a spaz so I'm sure I will figure it out
I'm getting used to it getting used to it
oh yeah oh yeah bird oh yeah come on okay here we go
alright we're hiking we're hiking bird yeah you like alright so it's a muscle
memory thing you get really good at clipping your camera back in there oh he
SLR though man oh this is why I don't bring these on vacation anymore so I
wouldn't want to hike with this beast let's try the sony here
ooh I thought you were full direction all all right so the sony doesn't work
because it has an extra little grip on there I guess have to take that little
grip off because it bumps into the button so that's a little bit of a
negative I do like the extra grip on the Sony a7 3 so that's not gonna work so
let's try a camera on the belt
okay a little belt action here so the instructions say to put the button on
the top for releasing and let's try that okay so this I like better than the
backpack this actually is a belt feels more comfortable and button on the top
you can slide the camera out and now you're sliding it sideways so you could
be like bird so I kind of like that really well made it seems like it's
titanium steel adamantium vibranium so I like that and so I think that's the
thing with peak design is the stuff is really really quality everything seems
to be like 10 to 15 percent more expensive than you want to spend though
but they are have a great following and they make some great products so this
feels kind of good I feel like the DSLR let's let's try umm let's try the other
cameras you see that their peak design see that watch watch with a little
quarter hey by the way I always keep on my keys this little metal piece here
that lets you take things off quick alright let's try with the Sony a7 let's
take these straps off the straps on all my cameras are from op/tech USA I always
like taking off the straps like that I also like that if I want a wrist strap
on my camera's I could just go like that so that's op/tech USA for my Fuji stuff
I have like the smaller versions of that but I also have adapters where if I want
to use the better wrist strap the thicker wrist strap this one I could
also switch them out and so I like the and I still love this I mean I grew up
with you know that sort of clip e clip okay so we have on the Sony a7 3
whoo-hoo that feels good let's see the button slide off clip nice
and easy OOP that one wasn't easy clip nice and
easy so I have the camera with the lens facing down but on in the instructions
they say you can flip the camera since it's 4-way directional they say that
lens changes are easy let's see if that's true here you can
just take this lens off and expose your sensor to the wind and then I guess put
the that's kind of cool I guess you can change lenses okay not sponsored by I
just bought it on my own the capture camera clip first of all is it worth $70
well seeing that I already spent 30 40 bucks on inferior products then I would
say yes if they are only getting one clip then the peak design is worth for
its construction and it's well-designed its release once you get used to the
motion it's easy to clip on and clip off I like the belt using it on the belt
better than the backpack but I think just design wise they recommend that you
use it on the left side but the button is kind of so I don't know if if there's
a better you know one-handed unclick motion I would have liked to see the
button on the other side so that you can kind of push on this side and bring up
the camera instead of having to reach under and pull that's the only complaint
I have it's no biggie all the stuff is muscle memory and as
soon as you use a product for a long time it becomes second nature but nice
peak design a new way to carry your camera alright I'll see you guys next
time
