FALCAMF38 Camera Clip Kit V2, F38 Backpack Clip with Plate for Backpack Strap and Camera F38B3803

Had to watch a YouTube vid to figure out how to operate the clamp 🤣 but once you got it, it's awesome. I contemplated getting one of these for so long, I wish I would have when I originally discovered it. Being able to just holster your camera in like 1 second flat and move to the next location or to not have to set it down somewhere is a game changer. And you can unholster it one handed depending on your camera and which orientation you have the mount attached to your backpack or belt. I've used it on my pants belt for hiking a mountain, and on my back pack for photo shoots. I use a nikon D780 with a 24-70 and sometimes an 18-400mm, so it's not a particularly light setup. I had zero worries of it coming unclipped or the clip breaking. Its a pretty tight fit, though after a few days the mount wears in a tiny bit and it becomes a little wiggly but still a secure connection. And we're talking legit hiking with my camera flopping around smacking my leg lol. I was more worried about my magnetic lens cap and filter flying off than the camera leaving the mount. Will probably buy another one at some point.

Well built and securely holds my Canon R10 on my crossbody camera bag strap. Also a plus it works with my existing Peak Design QR plate.

Great camera mount for your backpack! Can’t go wrong with this brand

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to attach it, but it then it seemed obvious. The attachment is to the backpack strap is very secure, with no wobble. The c-clip to close it onto the strap was a bit tricky to open, but unlikely to release accidentally. With the base attached to the camera, the camera snaps in securely and snaps off easily when the button is pushed. This is a well-made gadget.

See update belowOriginal reviewI like that the clip is capable of securing onto many size straps. Having taken it hiking I found that it squeaks a lot while walking and the release mechanism gets jammed very frequently. Highly frustrating to miss the important shot because I could not release the camera. Even WD-40 doesn't seem to have made any difference to the propensity for the release mechanism to jam.UPDATE: The jamming is caused because the lock slider gets easily jarred into a locked position (e.g. landing when jumping down off a boulder) even though the slider looks unlocked. Now that I realize what has happened I can fix it. Personally I always have my camera on a secondary safety leash in addition to the clip, so the sliding lock is a feature I would rather not have. For me it's more pain than gain because of the way it locks itself. YMMV. Upping from 3 stars to 4 stars. It's still a pain when it locks itself and it still squeaks but these issues are not as severe as jamming.

Watch the product installation video before you even try to install this. I carried around my r6mk ii and the rf 100-400mm lens with this clipped to my backpack strap all day without issue. It’s so great to have the camera ready instead of in a bag. This allowed me to bring my regular backpack with supplies for my dog and I without fussing with a camera bag or a dreadfulNeck strap. The camera stayed secure and you forget it’s there until you need it. This simple clip is a game changer.

This was quick and easy to use and I don’t need to worry about anything breaking as it is well built!

If you want, you can buy Peak Design's version. I can't stop you if you like their brand.BUT, if you need to attach a camera to your backpack and you don't care about brand, go with this.The clip lives on my day bag and gets banged, dragged, dropped and bashed every day and it still works perfect.The plate is nice and compact, sturdy and reliable. I like it because it doesn't get in the way of the ergonomics of my camera when I take it off the backpack.Save yourself some $$$ and get this one.
