I have the Peak Design Capture Clip V3 with the Dual Plate V2 (Arca Swiss and RC2 compatible), and the clip comes with longer screws for thicker backpack straps. The DIY mod is a great tip! I was thinking of just using a tripod mount with the dual plate, and switch between the capture clip on the backpack and a tripod with an RC2 mount. But that does add a step to connect the tripod.

Hey @Gemini Connect, i'm about to get a gopro 9 and I'm planning to buy a backpack strap (the official one) but I really wonder if when you're just walking around, those don't shake the camera too much or even are able to film straight? It always seems to me that the angle end up a bit off, no? what do you think?
@Gemini_Connect3 жыл бұрын
Is that the shoulder strap? We haven't tried that exact one, but have tried some mounts similar to it. There's definitely a risk of the canera shaking or not filming straight -- just make sure the strap is taut and you watch your posture. Might take some trial and error to get the filming method right.

The ideal solution would be a phone case that has a very strong magnet at the back which you can hold on the front of your clothes with another strong magnet at under your clothes. It looks like when you're using that clipm, the camera inclines downwards, thus filming towards the ground... which is not what we want. Something like the Insta360, if only it could film hours on end.
