(both arca swiss and rc2 type plates)...Anyways, even if this review was sponsored (which, I don't think is a bad thing always), I did feel it was not that biased as I often see from other review sites. If your RRS L-bracket is Arca compatible, I don’t see why it would not work. The only change would be how the camera orients to the bracket; the camera would aim sideways instead of down. So, if you orient it with the lens pointed across your body it would probably be fine. That said, having hiked several days with a Sony a6000 attached to my backpack strap via a Capture Clip, I do think a D810 and lens would be pretty heavy up there. Sure, i understand why you won't feel safe in those environment.
Key Features of the Capture Clip
With similar goals to its standalone Ninja monitors/recorders, the Phone Ninja connects a camera's HDMI out to a compatible iPhone for live view, recording, live streaming and file transfer. "We have not made any significant progress since last year," says Sigma owner and CEO Kazuto Yamaki, when asked about the planned full-frame Foveon camera. But he still believes in the project and discussed with us what such a camera could still offer.
What's your bag?
I find it fraudulent to claim that the clip fits 6.4 cm straps without clarifying that you need to squeeze it. In this case, they can also say the clip fits straps that are 2 miles wide, long as you can just squeeze it to 5.6 cm. All I am saying from my original comment is that it is a VERY niche product thus where you can use it can be a bit limiting.

Just remember to release it before trying to get your camera out of the clip. You may find a slightly cheaper earlier version of the Capture Clip, but I highly recommend you invest in the Caoture Clip V3 – it’s smaller, lighter, more robust, grippier, doesn’t get stuck and has more secure bolts. It’ll fit most straps up to roughly 2.5-3 inches wide and 0.87 inches thick, depending on their rigidity. It turns out that the Capture Clip is the original Peak Design product. Then traveler Peter Dering went a trip, got frustrated with carrying his DSLR, and then went home and quit his job.
However, given the high quality of materials and high functionality, it doesn’t leave one feeling ripped off in any way. Fits any strap up to 6.4 cm (2.5”) wide and 1.5 cm (0.6") thick with standard thumbscrews or 2.2 cm (0.88”) thick with included hex-head clamping bolts. Take your camera out of Capture and put it directly into your ARCA-type tripod with the included standard plate quick-release plate.

I literally can’t imagine the number of shots we would have missed if we didn’t have our cameras within easy reach, like that one time a monkey tried to steal our backpack in Manuel Antonio. My Peak Design Capture Clip came with a standard Arca-Swiss-compatible plate, 2 hand-drive screws, 2 4mm hex screws, a hex wrench and a microfiber pouch to store everything in. In my version of the Capture Clip from 2020, the plate tends to get stuck in the clip a fair amount of the time. It also sometimes catches when I’m trying to slide it back in.
Might as well keep the camera protected, in there, between shooting scenes, only using the neckstrap for security while shooting. @Rob,Those are valid points, and I wouldn't enter dense forest where I can't see clearly under my foot, or where I might slip and fall with DSLR crushing on my chest / hip. Although clip helps me to 'run' without camera constantly banging my chest, I know a trip and fall front could cost my camera and lens (plus my bone). IF I need to get through those situation, I'd check myself and put everything tidy in my slingpack and secure them.
There are other products I've tried that do something similar, but I think this is the best one. I have the first version and use it all the time while hiking. It comes in use when you are climbing with your hands on the ground or when trying to grab a rock or a tree branch to make it up the climb. Instead of having to put the camera in the bag just to get it out a few min later to take a shot. The camera is secure and you can go on about your hike.
The Capture Clip is also now available in two colors; Silver and Black. In this case, you’re flipping the direction of the Capture Clip so that it attaches to a horizontal belt rather than a vertical strap, but the result is otherwise the same. An interesting design aspect of the Capture Clip is that the standard camera plate (unlike many Arca Swiss style plates) is completely square and therefore symmetrical.
Fully detaching your camera is also easier from the Capture Clip compared to a harness system, especially if you need to then attach the camera to a tripod. Let’s say a couple getting married wants an old school documentation of their ceremony, just a camera set up filming what happens (I have had to do this). With a harness, you need to detach the camera from the harness and re-attach it to an Arca Swiss plate before it’s ready to go. The main drawback of harnesses, in my experience, is how cameras dangle when not in use. This makes me worry that my cameras might swing into something, or into each other, which is anxiety-provoking and distracting. And similarly, when I kneel down to grab gear, the dangling camera in a harness can swing down toward what I’m reaching for (and sometimes all the way down to the ground).
I wouldn't attach camera on front either if i expect rocky surfaces or in dense woods. I also plan accordingly for the weather and never had risked damaging camera / my body. Just note that backpack strap and your belt aren't only places you can attach the clip (though it is mainly advertised and portraid that way). Its upto end user how to utilize the tool on given situation. For me, it has given me flexibility and accessibility at the same time, i don't regret buying two of v1 and still use them on mid-long hike/ or long day of photoshoot.
As mentioned above, Justin and I have been using these clips for years and move them around our various backpacks almost on a weekly basis. And yet, the Capture Clips have stood the test of time—while there’s visibly some minor wear and tear on the clips, they work as well today as they did when we originally bought them. Plus I always feel like a National Geographic photographer or something when I press the release button down and whip the camera out of its holster. There’s a release button on the side—you’ll simply depress it when you want to slide your camera out of the clip. You can also rotate this release button 90 degrees to lock the release button and prevent it from being accidentally pressed down.
