Peak Design Capture Camera Clip System CP-DS-3 Black

On a rocky trail in the Dolomites, a landscape photographer keeps her DSLR within instant reach—no fumbling in a backpack, no swinging strap. The Peak Design Capture Camera Clip System CP-DS-3 turns any belt, backpack strap, or bag strap into a secure, quick-draw holster for your camera. Machined from aluminum alloy and glass-filled nylon, it holds up to 90 kg (200 lbs) and locks your camera in place with a twist. Whether you shoot weddings, hike mountains, or commute with a mirrorless, this clip keeps your gear accessible and safe.

Why choose it

The Arca-Swiss plate means you can go straight from clip to tripod without changing plates.

Installation is tool-free with the included hand-tightening bolts, and the clip fits straps up to 6.4 cm wide and 1.5 cm thick. The standard plate is compatible with most Arca-Swiss tripod heads, so you can switch from clip to tripod in seconds. A microfiber pouch protects the clip when not in use.
