Movo Photo MB200 Universal Camera Holster Attachment System for Backpacks and Hydration Packs

Fed up with having a bulky waist bag on my rucksack belt I felt I needed something closer to hand and more readily accessible.OK. This attaches to my rucksack strap very easily but does need a carabiner to stop it sliding down. Luckily I don't use chest straps as they can't be used with this attached.The camera mount means a tripod can't be used easily without removing the locking mechanism. However, as this system is suited for getting your camera to hand quickly it doesn't really matter. If you are setting up a tripod shot, a bit of extra time removing the lock won't matter.I use a nikon mirrorless. Most pictures show the camera held with the lens pointing down. The weight of my battery means the optimum position is lens to the side. Not a problem. You just have to align the lock nut accordingly.Large split ring is provided to attach the strap to the camera. The strap differs from the photo. It is now a three way strap, don't know why. To allow enough room to bring the camera to your face the strap is best connected at the top. I will use the bottom d-ring to attach a waterproof cover... the only downside is that the camera is open to the elements.When fitted the sleeve is very comfortable. I expected it to dig in but there is enough surface are to negate this. The velcro does not catch. The stitching looks robust and it seems sturdy enough. I will have to check the lock nut is screwed in properly. I see the manufacturer supplies an improved version of this.So, I think this stands up against it's more expensive competitor and, for me, is a great system for Backpacking and hillwalking.

I wanted a camera clip for backpacking but was shocked at the rip off prices of the brand name P**k D*****n which didn't even look that great. Stumbled upon this design and it had a test on the thru-hike July 2022 in the Dolomites on the AV1 trail.I was using a Fuji Finepix HS20 bridge camera which weighs 770g with the batteries in it - pretty average size and weight. Wild camping so a heavier pack with thick straps, an ExPed Lightning 60l.Function: Really good. It hung the camera really well and was easy to get off for pictures. Putting it back on could be fiddly and some folk have said as much but it was just practice. I attached the 3 point strap which was long enough for pictures, had to be a little creative with my pack here in clipping it on.Position: I had to place the holder high up and clip it to a D-ring on my pack, and this left just enough room for the chest strap to be used lower down.Comfort: This is the worst part of it because the thick straps were a little to broad for the wrap around and it was exposed a bit which cause a little discomfort, but not much. Not convinced the Peak Design metal ones would be any more comfortable.One issue is that the camera is exposed completely, you'd get this on any clip. In rain you should put the camera away completely, no cover will give you protection. And when putting the pack down the camera is heavier than the strap obviously so it will just fall - be careful!It is also very lightweight, tough fabric and plastic, I didn't feel like it would break or come off at all.Overall it's a bargain and I think with a smaller pack strap would work better than a thick one like on mine. I'm thinking of buying another because it is so cheap to butcher and see if it can be fixed on using the mechanism rather than the velcro wrap supplied, purely because with a 12kg pack on hours of trail it could be felt on the shoulder a bit. Don't let that put you off because unless you want to spent x5 more this is the best about.

I bought this so that I would be able to easily mount my camera (which is not an SLR) whilst travelling so that it would always be handy when I wanted it but would keep my hands free.I have not really been able to use it because the mount that attaches to the bottom of the camera blocks the battery/SD card panel and as I regularly need to replace the battery part way through the day (I take a lot of photos) the mount cannot be used. This is not really a criticism of the unit, more an observation that it does not work for me with my camera.If this was not the case then I think it would work pretty well. The method of storing the camera seems pretty robust and I would be happy to secure my camera using it (apart from the above issue).In terms of attaching the holder to the rucksack ..... this requires a bit more thought because no matter how you do it using only supplied bits, the holder will slide around on the shoulder strap - which would be exceptionally annoying. I was able to use 3 small cable ties to supplement the holder and attach it to hoops that were on my shoulder strap - so now it does not move at all and the cable ties are not noticeable either (I used 3 to ensure no movement and ability to take weight).I think with a different camera I would rate this 4 stars (just because the mounting to the ruck sack requires extras and more thought).

Fits great on my camera rucksack and I have since bought one for my hiking rucksack.The camera feels secure, doesn’t feel heavy and walking, you don’t notice it’s there. A couple of seconds later, your camera is in your hands, working. Two secs after that, you are walking again.Cant ask for more really.

I'm not convinced it needs to be so big, but the actual connector is a nice design. The whole thing feels strong, and I confidently leave a 1k camera dangling off it
