PGYTECH Beetle Camera Clip with Plate Quick Release System for Sony, Nikon, Fuji, DSLR Action Camera Backpack Cameras Strap Mount (for Camera)

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!

As soon as you take this camera clip out of the packaging, it is very apparent, that the quality is excellent. It is easy to use and the back side (that would face your body) is rounded on all edges. I have mine on a PGYTech OneMo2 35L camera bag and I couldn't love it more. I will say that the way they designed that bag, it attaches in front of the big padded strap, thus never touching against your body. A very nice design touch, HOWEVER, (very small caveat) the strap that it does attach to allows it to move a little, even on tightest. Not worth removing a star at all, as I feel like that is kind of a circumstantial situation. I would HIGHLY highly highly recommend this camera quick release for your backpack (and the PGYTech OneMo 2 bag). I read all the reviews before buying, like you, so trust me, I know you need to hear this, GET THIS ONE.

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.

Such a great product, especially when it comes down to hiking and everything it makes it so much easier to access your camera

I bought this because I was having problems with another brand name clip. I could not consistently get the camera out of that clip quickly and easily. I read in other reviews that the Beetle was a good alternative, so I got it. It works better for me. Significantly easier to get the camera out. Not perfect but a lot better for me (If perfect it would get 5 stars). Also, the camera does not rattle in the clip like it did in the other clip. It is also easy to get the clip onto and off of a a backpack strap, so it is easy to move from one bag to another.

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.

I love having this for hiking trips. It makes it so much easier to grab my camera and takes strain off my neck by not needing to use a strap. Seems stable and is easy to remove. Hoping they make a tripod that it can mount to! I do add an aditonal strap and hook it to my bag for extra security.

This clip is great. I am actually working to find new places to use it... my latest.. to take the weight off my shoulders when my long/heavy lens starts to wear on my back after a long day in the field. It also is great for holding that long lens on my backpack strap (or belt) when I need to switch to another lens for some reasons. I wish I could clip my shorter lens to it so it was ready to go also.. but that is a limitation of the lens, not this clip (no tripod foot). To reuse what I saw over and over again.. "It changed the way I work in the field" The only downside and it's minor, and a testament to how well built it is... I find opening the clip to be difficult and kind of hurts my fingers... but that is a sing that it is on very sturdy and isn't going to fall open on it's own.

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

I’ve been using the PGYTECH Beetle Camera Clip for over a year (purchased on July 14, 2024), and I genuinely consider it one of my best purchases for carrying a camera on a backpack. It has been completely reliable the whole time — no issues, no loosening, no surprises. The clip holds the camera securely and makes it much more comfortable to hike or walk with a camera ready to grab in seconds, instead of constantly taking the backpack off or dealing with a neck strap. A big bonus is the ecosystem: I also bought the compatible tripod plate, and it made switching from clip to tripod dramatically faster. It saves time and hassle, especially when you’re shooting frequently and don’t want to keep re-mounting plates. Pros: - Very secure and stable mount for backpack carry - Reliable over long-term use (1+ year, zero complaints) - Quick access to the camera while hiking/traveling - Optional tripod plate makes tripod mounting much faster Cons: - None so far in my use Bottom line: If you carry a camera on a backpack and want a secure, fast, and practical solution, this clip is absolutely worth it.
