Yes, it makes a difference in different ways / applications. Let me explain more precise with the addition of some images.
1. Usual usage:
• The belt where you "install" the clip should to be very stable
• The camera sits relatively high on your belt
• You shift the camera into the holder from the side.
2. Using the ProPad at the belt
• Your belt that you "install" the ProPad to can be less stable than when installing the Capture Clip directly
• The camera doesn't sit on your belt but below. That can be helpful if you wear a backpack with thick hipp belt
• You shift the camera into the Catptue Clip from the top
• The ProPad puts your camera-lens-combo a little bit away from your leg / pants which may result in less friction
• You can shift the Capture Clip where you need it ...
• A western gunfighter will wear it like this
...
3. Backpack usage
• Of course usually the clip is put on your belt or backpack shoulder strap like this ...
4. A weird solution? - Maybe!
• But what if you don't wear a belt or use a backpack? Then this could be a solution ...
• Yes, you can install the Capture Clip via ProPad to a thinner strap so you can wear the camera more in front of you ...
• that by example helps to use your hiking sticks when you're in the mountains without colliding the camera with the sticks
• you get full access to your camera without need to deal with the strap - just detach the camera from the capture clip
In a nutshell - the ProPad gives us a lot more flexibility in use cases. I like it.
I appoligize being a bit off thread topic.
