Our great friends over at
Peak Design has just launched their 7th
Kickstarter campaign. They're launching totally revamped versions of their greatest hits:
Capture,
Slide, and
Slide Lite. These products took Peak Design off the ground, and now they've updated them to new levels of performance and aesthetics.
The new Capture Clip V3 is now 20% narrower, 30% lighter, 20% thinner and 6x smoother. It now comes in black and silver and is machined and anodized. It also has a non-slip grip on the inside and fits straps up to 2.5 inches. You still have the standard thumbscrew to tighten the Capture or you can go with a slightly more secure solution with hex bolt screws. Since it is smaller and lighter, it is a lot more comfier.
For the Slide and Slide Lite straps, it features new angled anchors that were introduced with the 2017
Leash and
Cuff redesign. The new anchors are 2x thinner, fits more eyelets and works with tripod plates. The new straps also includes the ultra thin anchor mounts that attaches to the bottom of your camera if you don't have any tripod plates.
The webbing is smoother but offers better grip on the padding. Speaking of padding, it features new internal padding to offer more cushion and the strap has a lower profile.
The new ProPad is slimmer and more comfier and the Capture plates have also been slightly redesigned.
These are the retail prices once it is full available. Back through
Kickstarter and there will be a slight discount. Act fast because this is only available for

CAPTURE CLIP V3 - 2017 RELAUNCH
The all-new Capture is the most secure, convenient, accessible way to carry your camera, period. Unlike a camera strap, Capture keeps your camera rigidly stable while hiking, biking, or moving around the studio. Unlike a camera bag, Capture keeps your camera instantly accessible with the click of a button. The Capture system includes 2 components: a metal clip that clamps to any backpack strap, belt, or bag, and a tripod-compatible plate that screws into the bottom of your camera. Your camera smoothly locks into the clip, where it is held rigidly and securely. Press the lockable quick-release button to remove.
The new 3rd gen Capture is smaller, lighter, and smoother than ever before. All machined/anodized aluminum construction.
