The Capture Camera Clip System with Arca Plate from Peak Design provides you with a unique and secure way to carry your camera without a traditional strap and fits most Arca-type tripods. The Clip System is comprised of two pieces-a Clip and quick-release plate. The Clip can be attached to any strap, backpack strap, climbing harness, baby carrier or even your belt. Depending on your shooting preference, you can attach the system so it rests on your chest, hip or side.
To attach the system, unscrew the two coupling knobs on the Clip, fit the Clip under your strap or belt and tighten it down. The quick-release plate screws in to the tripod socket of your camera using an easy-to-use D-ring twist lock. Once the two pieces are attached, all you need to do is slip the camera into the Clip where it is securely held. It's a kind of lightweight holster that lets your camera safely hang from the strap, ready to unhook with the quick-release button when you need to shoot. If you're wearing a backpack with sternum strap, you can attach the strap across your camera for extra balance and stability.
The plate slides in 4 directions for ease of mounting. You can twist the plate horizontally or vertically to suit your preference. In the horizontal position, you can easily change lenses without removing the camera from the Clip. There is a twist lock for theft protection and added security when your camera is mounted to the Clip.
The unit is made from anodized weatherproof aluminum and weighs only 5.2 oz so it won't add much bulk to your load. If you prefer, don't use the Clip but only the plate that's attached to your camera to mount to a compatible tripod head equipped with a quick-release system.
The beauty of this system is that it eliminates the need for carrying a separate camera strap. Attach the Clip to one of your backpack straps and, with the camera mounted in the Clip, it will be held firmly at chest level ready to unhook with a simple pull. This system will also work with a hand strap by simply using the quick-release plate since there is a slot to attach the hand strap to the plate. The Clip is just as easy to remove when you're finished shooting for the day. The Capture Camera Clip System comes with a lifetime warranty from Peak Design.

Comments about Peak Design Capture Camera Clip System with Arca Plate:
This clip is quite good, but it had a few problems.
1) It is heavy on your waist with my t3i, and with a flash or battery grip I would not recommend it
2) There are occasionally some problems getting the quick release plate out.
Overall, for small SLRs I would recommend this. The whole thing feels really secure, and I have not doubts about trusting my camera on it. Also, I love the fact that there is a redundant locking system if you are afraid of someone stealing your camera in public.
Also, I wouldn't use a hand strap with this. It has a hand strap attachment point, but it can interfere with the plate, and most hand straps are not long enough to fit comfortably because the quick release plate is farther away from the side grip than most hand straps are used to.
