Dual Plate - The Best!

I own several of these Dual Plates. Absolutely the best solution for those who like the option to run both Arca Swiss and Manfrotto style setups. No need for the annoying issue of changing out plates just to change mount systems. Just jump back and forth between either with this piece of equipment. Example: The Dual Plate works perfect when I’m running my Vamguard Arca Swiss window mount and decide to jump out of the truck and set up my Manfrotto pan head set up on a tripod. The Dual Plate allows you to run your favorite option of mount without the added time of having to change out the plate. Great quality and great service! Thanks Peak Design!
The plate is great to fit various tripods with different plate systems, while keeping PD strap on the camera. A great and universal way to use the gear faster, focusing more on getting pictures rather than micromanaging the hardware.
I use this for my 200-600mm lens and I like that it covers more area than the standard plate. Only downside is that it only enters one direction on the capture clip, but that just takes some repositioning to work.
I've been using the Capture for 2-3 years now. The only thing that bothered me was that the standard plate could not be used in combination with my Manfrotto tripod. I recently bought the Dual Plate and this solved my 'problem'. It fits perfectly!
I purchased two of these, one for my Sony lens and another for my Sony camera body. How fabulous to be able to have my Peak Design tripod in one place and another tripod elsewhere and still be able to use my lenses and camera wherever I go. Definitely recommended.
I needed a way to attach my camera to my Manfrotto tripod while still being able to use my Capture Clip V3. This fitted the bill perfectly!! As beautifully constructed as all the other PD gear. Only limitation to be aware of, it only goes into the Capture Clip 2 ways (rather than the 4 ways for the standard plate) but that’s a small price to pay for the ability to use the Capture Clip. Oh, and it works perfectly with my tripod.
I couldn't find the sling of my old analog Mamiya m645 with their own unique connecting points. So I could use this together with the peak design anchor points with my own modern slings. Which is way cheaper than to get a specific vintage sling.
