As indicated by Canon’s marketing, the model is also durable with a shockproof/waterproof design and support for operating temperatures from -10C to 40C (14F to 104F).

STC expands Clip Filter series with new Panasonic Lumix M43 ND and IR filters

14 Sep

STC Optics has expanded its Clip Filter Series to include new filters for Panasonic Lumix M43 camera systems, as well as the Z Cam E2 4K Cinema Camera and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. As with the existing Clip Filters, the new series is designed to be sandwiched between the camera body and lens, positioning the filter over the sensor instead of on the front of the lens.

STC explains that its Panasonic M43 Clip Filter is designed to fit in front of the shutter mechanism to avoid interfering with the camera’s anti-shake function. All of the filters are made with Schott B2790 optical glass with double-sided NANO anti-smudge coatings and A2 stainless steel.

The new Clip Filter lineup includes a sensor protector filter, neutral density filters offered in N8, N16, ND64, ND400 and ND1000, as well as 590nm, 720nm and 850nm IR filters, a 625nm UV-IR cut filter and Astro filters in the following options:

– Multispectra Multi-Band Interferometric Filter
– Duo-Narrowband
– Bimodal Narrowband Filter? ?
– Nightscape Starscape Filter

The STC Clip filters are available on Amazon UK for £81.99 to £91.99, depending on the model, with more options available on the STC website at prices ranging from $ 80 to $ 430.

Olloclip announces Multi-Device Clip for smartphone lenses

05 Sep

Olloclip has built a reputation as one of the most successful manufacturers of smartphone accessory lenses. However, so far most Olloclip lenses have had one important limitation: they were device-specific. If you had more than one smartphone you could not use the lenses with all your devices, or if you upgraded to a new handset you usually needed to get new lens clips and/or lenses.

This is now a thing of the past, however. Today Olloclip has announced its new Multi-Device Clip. The clip is designed to work with the company’s Connect X line of interchangeable lenses, which includes several wide-angle options, macro lenses, a telephoto and a fisheye, and works with most smartphones.

The Multi-Device-Clip can expand to fit devices of up to 12mm thickness, meaning it is compatible with screen protectors and you can usually leave your case on as well, when snapping an image with your Olloclip lenses.

Olloclip’s new Multi-Device Clip will be available with any of the Connect X lenses mid-September starting at $ 60. You can sign up for more information on the upcoming release on the Olloclip website.

Review: Peak Design Capture Clip V3

01 Jun

Capture Clip V3
$ 70 | Peak Design.com

The original Capture Clip was a darling of Kickstarter, raising nearly $ 15 million back in 2011. V2 debuted in 2013 and was replaced by V3 at the beginning of 2018.

First released on Kickstarter in 2011, the Peak Design Capture Clip aimed to give photographers an easier way to carry their camera. Seven years later, we now have the Capture version V3, a much sleeker and more streamlined iteration of the original product.

Key Features

  • Arca-compatible plate
  • Aluminum construction
  • Anti-slip pad on mounting surface
  • Quick release button with security lock
  • Clip fits straps up to 6.4 cm wide and 1.6 cm thick
  • System can hold up to 90 kg (200 lb)
  • Available in silver and black

Design

$ 69.95 gets you the Capture Clip, an Arca-compatible plate, x2 hand-drive screws, x2 4mm hex screws (not shown), a hex wrench and a microfiber pouch for storage.

V3 boasts a ‘smaller, lighter and lower profile’ than V2 – more specifically it’s 57 g / 2 oz lighter (clip plus plate), 2.1 cm narrower, 1.2 cm shorter and 0.8 cm thinner. From a design perspective this means an accessory that looks less like a chunky piece of gear and more like an integrated piece of design affixed to your bag or strap. It is still made of all aluminum (minus some rubber bits for gripping your bag strap) and still has a smooth anodized finish like its predecessor. It is also now available in two colors; Silver and Black.

With V3, Peak Design has simplified the Capture lineup to just one product – V2 offered both the Capture Standard and CapturePro at different price points. The former had a glass-reinforced nylon back and was cheaper than the all-aluminum Pro.

Like the V2, you can still integrate a variety of add-ons to your Capture system such as the Manfrotto RC2 compatible Dual Plate or the Peak Design Lens Kit. This means you can use the Capture Clip for its base purpose but still have the option to expand its functionality well beyond just carrying a camera on your bag.

What’s also nice is V3 ships with two different sets of clamping bolts, hand-driven ones and a set that are driven in using a hex key (included).

In Use

The Capture Clip, in action.

The Capture system is extremely well designed and works exactly how you would expect it to: With the plate attached to your camera, simply slide it into the clip from above. When you want to retrieve your camera, press and hold the small button on the right side while sliding your camera back upward.

The first time I attached the system to my bag, I honestly didn’t expect to love it but quickly found myself enjoying the convenience it provides. In fact, all of the following gripes I have are admittedly nit-picky stuff because frankly the Capture Clip works well.

Even with a heavy camera attached, the Capture feels very secure

Attaching the clip portion to your bag for the first time can be a bit of a hassle but the key is just to loosen it more than you think you need to. Most folks will attach it to a backpack but it can easily be attached to a messenger bag, belt or something else entirely. 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.

Even with a heavy camera attached, the Capture feels very secure. The only time I worried while using it was when pulling my backpack off my shoulders. I sometimes instinctively like to toss my bag around – not a good idea when your precious gear is connected to the front.

While writing this review, I used the Capture with 4 different cameras: a Nikon D750 w/ 50mm 1.8 (1 kg / 2.19 lb), Nikkormat FTN w/ 50mm 1.4 (1.1 kg / 2.43 lb), Bronica RF645 w/ 65mm f/4 (1.1 kg / 2.44 lb) and Hasselblad 501C w/ 80mm f/2.8 (1.47 kg / 3.25 lb). All of these felt confidently secure.

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. For me personally, the Hasselblad was a bit too heavy to be comfortable. But it wasn’t just the weight; I also didn’t feel comfortable with the way large cameras or those with long lenses tend to pull down, potentially jabbing into your body.

Bottom line

The Capture system not only makes it simple to carry your camera, but it means you always have a plate attached for tripod mounting.

My biggest hangup with the Capture is just getting used to having your camera on your chest (that’s where I wore it at least), but it only took me about an hour of walking around in a park to get used to it. And by later that same day – while on a different shoot – I found I was using it instinctively.

My biggest hangup with the Capture is just getting used to having your camera on your chest

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 continues to bring a photographers-first approach to their design with a very strong sense for what works and what doesn’t. In this writer’s opinion, the new Capture Clip falls squarely in the “works” column.

What we like:

  • Very comfortable, lightweight and slim
  • Rated for up to 90 kg / 200 lbs, very secure and safe
  • Very quick learning curve and extremely easy to get used to
  • Feels great ergonomically
  • Lots of options for placement and expanding uses with other add-ons
  • Stylish, really

What we don’t:

  • Pricey
  • Gear hangs forward on chest
  • Hex screw requires you to keep the hex wrench with you

Peak Design unveils redesigned ‘Greatest Hits’: All new Clip, Slide and Slide Lite

07 Nov

Peak Design—the makers of top rated and much loved camera accessories that have raised nearly $ 15 million on Kickstarter since their first got into crowdfunding—have just launched a special ‘greatest hits’ 5-day Kickstarter campaign to fund their latest products: a totally redesigned Capture Camera Clip and revamped Slide and Slide Lite camera straps.

The campaign launched this morning, and already Peak Design is racing towards its funding goal at record speed—which was, after all, the point.

“We wanted to bring these redesigned products back to Kickstarter because our backer community brought them to life in the first place,” says Adam Saraceno, Peak Design’s Marketing Director. “We also wanted to get gear into folks’ hands before the end of the year. These are busy times so we opted to keep our Kickstarter short and sweet.”

Here’s the company’s Kickstarter video, to give you an overview of the new products:

Capture Camera Clip

First up, the one that started it all: The Peak Design Capture Camera Clip. The first product Peak Design launched on Kickstarter, the Capture clip is a staple in many a photographers’ camera bag (or rather ON their camera bag), but the original design needed some love.

Enter former Apple design engineer Max Maloney, who took some time to show us the improvements they’ve made on the Clip at PhotoPlus this year.

The clip has been totally redesigned to be smaller, sleeker, and more functional all at the same time. It now features an all aluminum built (no plastic parts in sight), a lighter and smaller build that should still fit on almost any belt or backpack strap out there, an embeddable grip on the backplate so you don’t have to tighten the thing so much for it to stay in place, and a much sleeker profile that’s less likely to snag on clothing or gear.

Here’s a closer look at the new Clip, including a side-by-side with the old version:

$ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_6667050312″,”galleryId”:”6667050312″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”standalone”:false,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”startInCommentsView”:false,”isMobile”:false}) });

The new Capture v3 will cost you a $ 55 pledge (MSRP $ 70). Find out more on Kickstarter.

Slide and Slide Lite

The Capture v3 is probably the most exciting ‘Greatest Hits’ release, but for those of you who love Peak Design’s camera straps, the Slide and Slide Lite revamp is definitely worth looking into.

The Slide (meant for DSLRs) and Slide Lite (meant for mirrorless cameras) are some of Peak Design’s most popular camera straps, and now they’ve been upgraded with updated dual adjusters that keep a lower profile, a new anchor mount for ‘low-profile connection point to bottom of camera’, smooth and durable nylon webbing for easier adjustment, and updated anchor connectors for easier one-handed use.

Here’s a closer look:

$ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_4418407189″,”galleryId”:”4418407189″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”standalone”:false,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”startInCommentsView”:false,”isMobile”:false}) });

The Slide and Slide Lite will MSRP for $ 65 and $ 50, respectively, when they hit store shelves, but if you contribute to the Greatest Hits Kickstarter you’ll be able to get them for $ 50 and $ 35. Click here to learn more.


To see check out either of the new products for yourself or contribute to the campaign—which has already raised nearly $ 50,000 in funding in just a couple of hours!—click here. Estimated delivery for all of the new products is December of 2017.

Flexy Paw treat holder phone clip tantalizes pets for better photos

24 Jun

Taking a photo of a dog or cat can be difficult, but here to help is Flexy Paw, a smartphone attachment that dangles a treat above the device’s camera. The treat serves as a lure to catch the animal’s attention, giving photographers a chance to snap to a photo. Because the attachment clips to the phone, it can be connected to nearly any smartphone, and keeps the user’s hands free to compose and take the photo.

The clip holding the pet treat is attached to a flexible armature, enabling the photographer to reposition it out of the camera’s field of view, as well as move it to one side or the other for posing purposes. Once the photo is snapped, of course, the pet can then be rewarded with the treat.

Flexy Paw is being funded through Kickstarter by Paw Champ, which is seeking $ 39,000 in funds. Backers who pledge $ 16 or more will be rewarded with a single Flexy Paw unit, while $ 32 or more gets backers two units. Shipping to Kickstarter backers is expected to start in November 2017.

Capture PRO Camera Clip Review

02 Dec

A Better Way to Carry Your Camera?

The updated Capture PRO from Peak Design offers a secure, hands-free alternative to traditional camera straps.

The updated Capture PRO from Peak Design offers a secure, hands-free alternative to traditional camera straps.

About a year and a half ago I posted a short review on Facebook of the original version of the Capture Camera Clip from Peak Design Ltd. Since getting my hands on it, Capture has become an integral tool for my location, event, and street photography, as well as a perfect solution for quick camera access while I’m teaching, either in the classroom or on location. That’s why I was so excited last August, when the San Francisco-based company launched two updated versions of Capture in what would end up being a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. Going back to the community that helped make the original Capture such a popular accessory, the crowd-funded project raised $ 819,108 in just 54 days– crushing its goal of $ 100,00. With numbers like that, I had to find out how Capture Pro measured up to the original. You may have read Sime’s preview of the new versions before their release back in August, but now that I’ve had a chance to put Capture PRO through its paces for a few months, I figured it was time for an update.

What is Capture?

So, what is Capture? Imagine taking the quick-release assembly off your tripod and attaching it to your belt. Or your backpack strap. Or the shoulder strap from your camera bag. Or a climbing harness. Getting the idea? Simply put, the Capture Camera Clip allows you to use virtually any strap of almost any thickness to keep your camera close at hand and ready to go. I’ve never been a fan of traditional camera straps. Regardless of whether it is around my neck or over my shoulder, the weight is a strain and at least one hand is always on the camera, making sure it’s not bumping into anything or anyone. Sling straps are a great solution, but still get in the way when you are carrying a camera bag.  Capture not only allows me to “go strapless,” but also frees up my hands.

What’s New

As great as the original was, Version 1 was not without a few minor drawbacks, most notably its hard corners and uncomfortable screws. It’s always refreshing when companies take the time to not only listen to feedback from their customers, but to implement those suggestions into newer, better products. Constructed from die-cast aluminum, the clip is tightened into place with zinc-alloy clamping bolts. These bolts are what allows the clip to adjust to belts and straps of different thicknesses.  The new streamlined design is stronger and lighter, with a more narrow profile and smoother mechanics, while retaining all of the convenience and functionality of the original.

Zinc-alloy clamping bolts adjust to the thickness of the strap, and the standard ARCA Plate makes the unit compatible with a wide range of tripods.

Perhaps the best added features however, are the mounting hole on the bottom for monopods and tripods (Pro version only), and the twisting safety lock on the quick release buttons for both Pro and V2.  The standard ARCA Plate is already compatible with ARCA-style tripod heads, but making the entire clip tripod-mountable adds a new facet of convenience that did not exist in the original.  While the original version had a twist lock for added security, both Capture PRO and Capture V2 have added an additional  safety lock to the quick release button, making sure that once latched, your camera isn’t going anywhere.  This comes in particularly handy for event photographers who have to navigate through large crowds. In one test, I had a group of friends try to strip my camera from the clip at my waist as I worked a crowd. All were unsuccessful.

The new tripod socket on the bottom and additional locking mechanism on the quick release button add functionality and security to the original design.

Room for Improvement?

There is always room for improvement. No product is perfect, but any of the negative things I have to say about Capture are pretty minor– merely a matter of personal preference, and have no bearing on the quality of the product itself. For instance, I would have preferred for the quick-release button on the opposite side of the clip, but that doesn’t affect the quality of the build or the functionality of the device.

New Accessories

I prefer using Capture with lenses like the 24-70mm, the 35mm, or the 50mm. I wasn’t crazy about how Version 1 handled the extra weight and awkward movement of a larger lens, like the 70-200mm. With the new Capture PROpad, however, the developers and designers have gone a long way to solving this comfort and stability issue. The firm, compression-molded padding eases part of the load, redistributing some of the added weight of longer lenses.

Another new accessory– the POV Kit– turns the Capture Clip into a mount for any GoPro or small point-and-shoot camera. Getting POV photos or video from your backpack straps or similar vantage points has never been easier.

The Bottom Line

The Capture Camera Clip offers a great solution for photographers who don’t like traditional straps, but still want a well-made, safe, secure, hands-free way of carrying their camera.  One of the best things you can say about Capture– or any product for that matter– is that it does what it’s supposed to do and it does it well.  One of the great things about Capture is that you can expand its functionality by incorporating the Leash and Cuff camera straps, also from Peak Design.

The last two sentences of that Facebook review I wrote a year and a half ago are even more true now than they were when I first wrote them about the original Capture. “Every once in a while someone comes out with a piece of gear that leaves you scratching your head, wondering why you didn’t come up with the idea yourself.  This is one of them.”

Capture Pro and Capture V2, as well as the PROPad, POV Kit, Leash, and Cuff are all available on the Peak Design Wesbite.
