Very good workmanship, super handling. The camera holds perfectly - can also be used while skiing or on mountain tours. The best camera transport system I have tried so far (had others like Cotton Carrier).

At first, you are pleased with the metal and the seemingly super workmanship.
Then you realize that it's not that easy to find a place to mount it that isn't extremely uncomfortable or impractical. High up on the backpack shoulder strap, the metal plate presses with time and hurts, lower down you can then no longer move the arm properly because the camera is in the way, and on the belt either the camera interferes with the leg movement, or you risk hitting the camera on walls, rocks, or other objects if you mount it sideways.
Last but not least, you realize that the screws loosen with time - and if you don't notice it in time and tighten them - they loosen completely. Then you are glad that you still had the strap of the camera around the neck so that it did not fall far, and you look for another solution to carry the camera handy on hikes. Perhaps the unlovely shoulder bag in addition to the backpack.

I bought the Peak Design camera mount for mountain tours and excursions and attached it to a shoulder strap of my camera backpack. The functionality is impeccable, after a little practice you can remove the camera from the mount and "latch" it back on again virtually "blind".
However, I had to "play" a little with the setup of the camera: Normally I have a battery grip on my camera. If you now have a rather short lens mounted, the camera's centre of gravity shifts away from your body and the camera then "tugs" on the strap. The ideal situation is to use the camera without a battery grip; the size and shape of the lens then plays a subordinate role.
It's nice that you can quickly free your hands when using the Peak Design mount, but you can also quickly bring the camera back into use.
