The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

When was the last time you’ve been surprised by a new piece of gear that you never knew you’d love so much? We’re talking about something that you never really thought about, yet once you tried it, you were blown away. This doesn’t happen often to us, but it recently did with the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip.

As a lifelong photography nerd, we have a deep appreciation for all things photo-related, but it’s not too often that a brand creates something truly unique. This impressive little device safely secures your camera to whatever part of your pack you prefer, and offers up lightning-fast access to your rig that blows traditional straps out of the water. It features a smooth and reliable quick-release-style plate, it’s made entirely out of machined/anodized metal for a build quality that’s worthy of trusting your $2K kit with.

It’s built to handle large lenses, but we honestly felt that mid-range zooms up to 70-200mm f/2.8 was the max we’d prefer to strap to this thing. For your mirrorless body with a mid-range zoom lens, the Capture really shines. It’s perfect for your Fujifilm, Sony, Canon mirrorless, or even your Leica M. You can feel assured that this trusty little device won’t let you down when it comes to security, but it’ll certainly outperform your expectations.

If you find yourself constantly fumbling with your camera when the fleeting shot presents itself, then this piece of camera gear needs to be your next purchase. Don’t miss another photo opp because of traditional camera strap malfunction. This is also the perfect gift for that photo enthusiast in your life, and it’s the ultimate accessory for travel photography.—Jon Perino, senior editor
