There are a fair number of clever straps available for your digital S.L.R. camera, but sometimes the last thing you want to be carrying is yet another strap.The $80 Peak Design Capture is a quick-release camera mount that can be attached to a belt or any strap — like the one on your backpack or handbag — so your camera is always accessible, not swaying and not getting tangled.
It is a very solid little device made of powder-coated aluminum with two mounting screws that you can adjust without tools. Once the screws are loosened, two plates separate to fit over a strap up to 3 inches wide and a half-inch thick.A mounting plate screws to the bottom of your camera and slides into the mechanism, which unlocks when you press a red release button.
The company claims its clip device can hold up to 150 pounds, just in case you have a camera made of pig iron.That mounting plate is compatible with Arca-Swiss-style tripod heads, so you don't have to take the mount off to pop your camera on a secure base."We said all along that the cameras were needed because of safety issues," Stevens said. "They've definitely worked — people are much more aware of the dangers of the intersection."
