Remember the Spider Holster? Sure you do, but let me remind you anyway. The Spider Holster is a belt-mount for your camera, letting you hang even the heaviest SLR on your belt securely using a pin screwed into the tripod socket of the camera’s body and a bracket on your belt.
It works great, but the The Capture Camera Clip from Photojojo does the same thing with less weight and without a pin sticking out the bottom of the camera. This makes it ideal for smaller cameras — my Panasonic GF1 looks quite ridiculous with the Spider pin on it, for example.
The Capture Camera Clip comes in two parts. A clip which threads onto your belt (or the strap of a backpack) and a plate which mounts onto your camera. This plate screws into the tripod socket and sits fairly flush — if you have aver used a tripod quick-release plate you’ll see the similarity right away.
Unlike the Spider Holster, which has a V-shaped slot which grips the round head of the pin, the Capture Camera Clip’s plate slides into a matching socket and clips into place. Hit the button to release it and pull the camera out.
It looks ideal for a small camera, and as the weight is down on your hip, you won’t crunch your shoulders carrying a camera with you all day long. And because the camera is held steady and doesn’t swing around, you can even change lenses without juggling everything around.
The Capture Camera Clip is available now, for $80.
