Camera Lens Cap Holder Finally Gets It Right

I have seen a bunch of different “solutions” to the problem of lost lens caps, but none of them really worked. Worse, they usually leave the plastic cap dangling which is both annoying and can potentially ruin your photo if it gets in the way.

My current solution is not to use a cap at all, relying on the camera's hard case to protect the lens when not in use. If this Kickstarter project is successful, though, I may switch to the Camera Lens Cap Holder instead.

The holder is simple. It threads onto your camera strap like a belt buckle and adds a simple disk of plastic, secured at both side for dangle-free positioning. Then, when you need somewhere to put your cap, you just clip it on as if you were clipping it to the lens.

Each holder can work with three or four different sizes of cap. This is done by putting two circles of plastic on each side of the holder. To get access to the send side, you just slip the holder off the strap and reverse it. This is easier with quick-release straps.

It's so simple I have a feeling the inventor, Mark Stevenson, is going to have a success on his hands. To get one of the first production run, you'll need to pledge $15 to the Kickstarter project. That's cheaper than a couple of replacement lens caps.
