Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced Peak Design Pro Pad V2 for Capture Camera Clip (Sold Separately) by David Encarnacion

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes Capture Clip even better.

Why did Revain ask me to rate this on warmth, comfort and thickness? Hm. You know what, let's have some fun with it. This is a beautiful, warm, dark gray fabric. It's very comfortable in the hand, not like it should be there because it should be on your belt or your backpack strap or whatever, but when I'm belting through to get my mirror cam ready. God this is comfortable. Whatever they put in the back to stiffen it has the perfect thickness to give it rigidity. Okay, that was fun, but the Capture Clip is something I've always looked forward to but never knew I needed until I got one. Of course, attaching it to the side of a belt is annoying as hell. Carrying the camera with one hand is terrible. Hanging the camera on the side of your belt is terrible. Having a relatively heavy camera attached to the capture clip on your backpack strap is actually quite good. Insert the Pro Pad there. Get a good view of the world with this thick, warm, comfortable Pro Pad. He does the following amazing things: Lowers the camera a little below the waist. Now I can put on a flannel or other shirt and have easy access to the camera. There's nothing cooler than an aging hipster who's quickest to whip out his DSLR on a midday landscape shoot. Offers really easy one-handed access right from the hip. Now the quick release pin is right where my pinky wants it to be. My eye says "Wow, that could be a real photo" and somehow my camera just lies in my hands. When I'm done, it just slides right into the clamp. Doing everything sideways is a stellar pain for Tuckus. With its 5-star thickness, it lends hardness to every assembly situation. Let's say you clip the Capture Clip onto the shoulder strap of your stupid old Domke J bag because you want to relive the glory days of backpacking overseas. You try to pull the camera out of the clip and the clip moves a little, bending the strap and something else. Pro pad + thickness + stiffness = 5-star comfort and warmth.tldr: If you hip-mount your camera, take this. I put it somewhere else when I don't need it.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
