PGYTECH Beetle Camera Clip with Plate Quick Release System Backpack Clip

Pretty easy to set up, less money than the PD variant, feels very safe and secure. I just got it so I can't say for sure how durable it will be, but it feels solid and well designed

Used this for our Costa Rica trip and it couldn’t have been better! It locks the camera on the clip while only letting you pull the camera up out of the clip (when attached correctly). The clip is super durable design giving you 3 options of strap thickness to attach it to. It gave us complete peace of mind that the camera was safe and won’t drop or fall off while still being easy access for quick photo opportunities. Great price especially for how safe we felt using it!

I was skeptical about how much I really needed this device. I had purchased this to take with me to the beach, as I knew I wanted to be hands free at times, and my current camera strap is too in the way for my liking. I use one of those diagonal straps, which is fine a lot of times, but I still find myself holding on to my camera constantly with it. Functionality: I used this on the strap of my camera bag. It's one of those generic cheap amazon camera backpacks that there's 100 copies of, maybe you have one, maybe you don't, which is fine, because this also worked on my other 2 backpacks I had lying around. It worked great on the trails. I wasn't jumping around or anything, and I trusted it as far as I trusted the strap of my bag to stay on. I would use it on my belt, but anything attached to my belt drives me crazy, especially a bulky full frame camera. You micro 4/3's photographers might make out on that one, but I think I would still be annoyed even with my old olympus attached to my belt. That's just me though, maybe you don't mind that kind of thing. The clip closes securely to whatever strap I put it on, the baseplate doesn't come loose from the camera, and the camera fits securely onto the clip. No complaints here. Just be cautious that you don't close it too tightly like I did at first, because it can be a pain to get off again. By the way, use a lens hood when wearing this. Drawbacks: The clip worked great at the beach. I could put my camera away and use both of my hands at will. However, I hate walking around with a backpack as it makes me sweat like crazy in the summer, even after a few minutes. If you have a backpack that breathes nicely, and you're going to be wearing the backpack anyway, then this is for you. I, however, am constantly at odds about how much I will be annoyed with carrying a backpack around, just for the sake of being able to be fully hands free with my camera. That's the biggest compromise with this clip, personally, as I like going on short hikes with the most reduced possible configuration. I also found it to be a little awkward to clip and unclip my camera, but it was just that- a little awkward, and no big deal. Bottom line: If you want to free your hands occasionally, keep your camera secure and out of the way, spend less than the premium brand, and if you already intend to use a backpack- then absolutely, yes, this is for you.

Took this on my first hike and was nervous about it breaking or something happening but it surprised me , after a 5 hour hike I can say this thing is amazing and has no issues keeping your equipment safe, very strong material and design. I think the price is very well worth it considering it frees up your hands and makes it feel like you’re not carrying everything on your back. Didn’t get in my way at all

Liking this thing. I didn't know if I wanted to try the Peak Designs V3 or this, and went for the cheap option. Seemed like this would be easier to move between bags, so I was willing to take chance on it having less grip. Very new to photography, but you don't need experience to know that having a DSLR dangling off your neck is annoying for you and less safe for the camera. I've only tested it with my lighter lenses, and my camera body is very light (Canon SL3), but this clip is holding firm when I give it a strong tug. Removing the plate is easy to do when you want to, but it's not something you can do accidentally. You have to firmly dig up a clasp that should be very taut. I can VERY slightly get it to move a bit when I pull down hard on it, but it honestly might be the fabric on the backpack wiggling, and this is with a LOT of pressure pulling down. My SL3 + EFS 10-18mm barely feels like it's there. However, my main carry lens will be the EFS 55-135mm, but the weight difference between the two isn't too major. I also have a 60D and a Tamron 70-200mm, so I'll try attaching that enormous setup on there just for the heck of it. I'm 95% sure the clip will hold up to that just fine. The release is good. I wanted to be able to quickly get my camera up to my eye and ready to shoot on my upcoming trip to Yellowstone. You with a lighter camera, you CAN get it with one hand if you really needed to, but it's a bit fumbly. With two hands it can be super quick. From the left strap of a backpack, you'd be using your left hand to press in the release button on that side (assuming you left it unlocked), with your right hand on your camera grip. It's pretty easy to get back in there too... I look down and can see components line up and slide it right down in. The one I received does not give much audible feedback when the clip locks to the plate -- a satisfying click would be nice -- but it locks in really easily. The release button can be rotated and doubles as a lock, for when you don't even want to accidentally press the release button. Lastly, the base plate fits my tripod perfectly, which I'm sure experienced photographers would expect from reading descriptions, but for me it was something I was wondering about. This was a good buy from Prime Day, and my main regret right now is that I didn't buy two.

Received my PGYTECH Beetle Camera Clip today and paired it with another item I purchased to mount my iPhone 12 Pro Max to my backpack. The quick release plate was easy enough to remove as well as tighten with the provided tool in the box. The clip itself is extremely sturdy as it's made of metal and has three clamp levels so you can make sure it can fit your backpack straps. Once it was on there I tried it on walking around with my laptop and a few other items in my backpack. (You'll want to make sure that it sits nicely on the backpack straps as the clamp can feel like it's digging into your chest when you're making arm movements.) I found it difficult to remove the clip after I was done but because it was difficult to remove, I found that was actually a good thing. It kept my iPhone 12 Pro Max tightly in place and it's a great product. Only reason why I gave it a 4/5 value for the money is that it's still quite expensive. however, it's still a few dollars cheaper than the peak design 3.0 camera clip which is about $74.99.

I love this clip SO much!!! I got it for my trip to Zion National Park, where we had several moderate to strenuous hikes planned. I didn’t want my camera around my neck and swinging, but also wanted it at the ready for surprise photo ops. I was slightly apprehensive with the reviews that said the metal bar broke, but this clip stayed locked and sturdy my whole trip! It easily carried the weight of my camera, and the lock mechanism was amazing. This clip survived scaling boulders and hiking mountains with ease. I 100% recommend it if you want easy access to your camera that’s secure!

I've used it once while hiking in the mountain, but it feels like solid construction. The metal feels like quality metal. I like how adjustable it is to fit different sizes of backpack straps. It's very easily installed and very easy to take on and off a camera. I used a video camera with a Rode mic attached to the hot shoe. The camera sits in the slot so that you have to lift it up to get it out. So if you don't lock the clip, then it won't fall out if you accidentally hit the release button. I do like that you can actually lock the release button as well, so that you don't accidentally push the release button, possibly releasing the camera and causing it to fall off. I was able to attach and release the camera quickly with no issues at all. The plate that comes with the clip even works for the tripod I was hoping it would. Overall, I would recommend this product. Hopefully it continues to function properly as I continue to use it.

Génial, efficace et très solide

Uso questo clip PGYTECH con una fotocamera mirrorless durante sessioni di scatto all’aperto, e finora si è dimostrato un accessorio affidabile, robusto e molto comodo. ✅ Compatibilità perfetta con mirrorless: Lo uso con una macchina di medio peso e il clip la regge senza problemi. Resta ben stabile sulla tracolla dello zaino, anche camminando o muovendosi velocemente. ✅ Materiali solidi: Costruzione in metallo di qualità, niente plastica fragile. Una volta fissato, non si muove né scivola. Trasmette sicurezza. ✅ Sistema a sgancio rapido: Super pratico. Permette di staccare e riattaccare la fotocamera in un secondo, il che è ideale per foto “al volo” o per passare rapidamente da mano a spalla. ✅ Versatilità: Si può usare anche su cinture o borse laterali, ma io lo preferisco sullo spallaccio dello zaino. Tiene bene anche su percorsi in movimento. ❌ Nota d’uso: Su alcune tracolle molto spesse ci vuole un po’ più di tempo per fissarlo bene, ma una volta agganciato resta bloccato in posizione. 🎯 Conclusione: Se usi una mirrorless e vuoi un sistema comodo per portarla sempre con te, senza cinghie al collo, questo è il clip giusto. Robusto, veloce da usare e perfetto per chi fotografa in movimento.

Very good quality and very convenient for the quick release button. strong hold on backpack strap

Sturdy and well built. Has a quick release mechanism for the camera. Would fit most straps I think unless they are very bulky.
