Stop missing shots because your camera’s out of reach. We test five of the best camera clips available to see how well they keep your camera ready for action.
Best camera clips: 01 B-Grip Uno
£36/$55
This little gadget lets you carry your camera on a regular belt or a bag strap, and attaches easily to either. The clip is comfortable on the go. Although predominantly plastic, it’s built to last. Only a fiddly release clamp lets it down.

Best camera clips: 02 Lowepro S&F Light Utility Belt & Toploader Pro 70 AW II
£54/$60 & £79/$90
Combining a camera utility belt and holster bag keeps you comfortable and your camera protected from the elements. The Toploader Pro 70 holster is big enough for a pro SLR, but consequently it’s far from sleek, and access can be slow.

Best camera clips: 03 Peak Design Capture Pro Camera Clip
£60/$80
Like the Uno, the Capture Clip fastens your camera to your belt or bag strap, however the Capture’s quick release system is slicker. It’s great with a CSC or a light SLR, but anything heavier will feel like it’s pulling your jeans down!

Best camera clips: 04 Spider Pro Single Camera System
£110/$135
The Spider Pro is a joy to use, thanks to its instant camera access. Forget bags, clips and clamps: here you get a beautifully designed ball joint that simply slots into a holder on a comfortable belt. The Spider’s impeccable build quality seals the deal.

Best camera clips: 05 Think Tank Steroid Speed Belt V2.0 & Digital Holster 20 V2.0
£49/$63 & £55/$70
Here’s another belt and holster bag combination, but both elements are more streamlined and convenient than the Lowepro pairing. Size-wise, it’ll pack a small SLR up to a 6D or a D610, but an expandable base enables you to fit a reasonably long lens.
