The thumb screws (shown above) seemed pretty self-explanatory, no? Apparently the thumbscrews work better on belts and thinner straps in general. For thicker straps you’ll want to use the longer hex screws. The Peak Design Capture Clip is designed to be light, ergonomic, and to provide a handy way of carrying your camera /lens/binos on the go. When attached to your backpack strap, you hardly notice the Capture Clip is there. Speaking of lenses, the other less-than-ideal factor is that the clip doesn’t work that well with a telephoto lens.

Excellent image quality, powerful autofocus and great looking video are the least you can expect. @Tommi K1 Never said there aren't other options out there, even stated using a similar option. Regardless of which option you choose, it's still more convenient than having the camera swing around your neck on a strap or to dig through a bag to pull it out. I think expecting a DSLR-oriented strap piece to play nice with a compact body like G11 may be too much to ask for. We can, perhaps, fault PD for not having a very small plate to work with tiny MILCs and compacts. For what it is worth, I use the V3 with a Fuji X-H1, Nikon D750 and Nikon D800, usually with prime lenses up to about 85mm, or (or equivalent) zooms.
How the Peak Design Capture Clip Works
Any more tightening and you might mess with your strap. It’s an exciting feeling when you find a piece of gear that solves the exact problem you’ve been struggling with on the trail. I missed a lot of photo ops before I bought the Peak Design Capture Clip. Now, though, I’m always ready — whether I’m hiking, camping, backpacking, or kayaking. Those of us who like to take photos in the woods, whether professional or amateur, often carry bulky gear and DSLRs. That means choosing between carrying the weight in your hands or around your neck.

The Pro Pad v3 only purpose is as an accessory to the Pro Capture Clip, which should be included with every purchase. If one needs to replace a Pro Pad then, by all means, charge for it. Though I feel $19 is a little steep for what it is. $9.99 would be more appropriate.
Peak Design Capture Clip Review Final Words
I have hiked heavily with V2 of this Peak clip. It is fantastic, and I've run it through some real tough experiences. Easy to use, and the camera only comes out when you want.

It's the first one I'd ever seen, bought or owned. It's also the only one that I know of that allows the same clip to be used for bags, belts, and the camera part can also be used for attaching to the quick release plate on tripods. In fact, all of their products (that I've tried) are excellent. They have the best (smallest, lightest, fastest) quick-release clips in the business. This product isn't really aimed at the larger camera market. Anyone using heavier gear uses Spider-Holster or other products which are a bit beefier and do attach to the lens mount on larger lenses.
It’s an irritation that becomes more pronounced with bigger lenses. I think the capture clip is maybe a $40 product, and the pro pad while made well is still overpriced and too stiff for anything mirrorless. Overall for the price point of $69.95 the Capture Clip V3 isn’t cheap, but it’s worth the money if you’re looking for a new approach to the way you carry your camera. And if you’re looking to add another clip to your arsenal or upgrade from a previous version, you have the option of buying just the Clip alone for the lower price of $49.95. Peak Design says the Capture is rated for up to 90 kg / 200 lb so safety-wise almost anything you would put on there is a non-issue.
What's your bag?
This is particularly so if standing on the edge of a wind blown cliff or tall building. At its simplest, the Peak Design Capture Clip V3 is two metal plates that are held together. One of the plates attaches to the bottom of your camera just like any tripod plate. The other attaches to a strap on your bag (or any similar location, like your belt) and holds the first plate in place.

It does this with elegance and durability, and in such a way that it’s hard to imagine anything else being more than marginally better, if better at all. That’s why it is a ‘wheel’ of a product; it performs in accordance with the essence of its purpose. For me, it’s a staple because it improves my ability to be mobile and execute shots as I feel inspired to do so. As the best kind of gear does, it facilitates photography. That said, harness systems have a big advantage of their own.
@woodyggg Peculiar then that Jimothy's experience exactly mirrors my own.I also thought that the system might be great to have the camera handy and my hands free for light climbing on difficult paths. But in practice the camera-lens combo got in the way quite often, and I felt it was very vulnerable against banging into rock and such. In many cases, I put it back into my backpack because I felt uneasy, despite also having insurance. I personally would not recommend this product for large camera+ lens combo. I believe the product is well made and it says what it does. I did a bend test on the joint and I can certain that it is very strong.
It seems pretty heavy at first, but once I was wearing my pack I didn’t really notice it. Great way to carry a camera while hiking or shooting outdoors. They may show very slight non-functional cosmetic wear, but work (and often look) as good as new.
The camera just sat by my side where I could keep a hand on it, and I could lift it and use it quickly without the worry of something coming loose. It also wasn't terribly visible, as it was tucked away under my arm, and I could also pull my jacket entirely over it, and zip it up. I used a Pacsafe quick detach anti-slash camera strap for extra strength. After 10 days of travel I am still very happy with the way it worked out. I hike with the peak design leash attached to my backpack and the capture clipped in.
Once attached to something it's not hard to remove and replace. I tried it on both my Peak Design Everyday Backpack and my nearly decade old Camelbak backpack and it fit securely on both. I once almost dropped the camera when I was using it, because the screw got loose.
