Quality, compact design with one minor issue.

Peak Design Review
I love having this on my camera as it doesn’t stick out much, being quite compact. It has points that are easy to attach an anchor to, if you want to connect a strap to it for certain styles of camera carry. And it works with my Sirui tripod.
The only minor complaint I have is that the Sirui tripods have a little pin on them that pushes down and their own tripod plates have a little tapered “ramp” on them that slides over the pin in one direction for easy mounting, then locks in so the plate doesn’t fall off.
This plate doesn’t have such a tapered ramp so I had to manually add one with a file to the “top” middle of one of the sides. It doesn’t otherwise harm the functionality or design, although it would certainly look better if these were manufactured this way to begin with.
This little hack makes this product perfect, other than it looking a little scarred.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wanted an extra standard plate for my second mirrorless camera body, to use with the Peak Design Capture. The plate can be left on my camera all the time since it also works as a quick release plate for my Arca-Swiss compatible tripod heads. Very convenient, and it's also small and low profile, so it feels like it's not even attached to the camera.

Secures tightly, never loosens during use. I've had other plates that over the course of a day or assignment will loosen. This goes on and stays on, which means I leave a plate on both of my camera bodies as well as the support rings of my larger lenses. I really like being able to quickly attach to my PD tripod without having to fuss with tightening plates or attaching them beforehand. These just live on my gear, ready to use.

I bought this plate so that I could mount camera on a tripod without swapping out strap attachment plate for a tripod plate.

Excellent baseplate that doesn't interfere

The Peak Design Standard Plate would easily be my favourite baseplate for my tripod. I've used it on various arca-swiss compatible type tripods and it's never missed a beat. I am mainly using Fujifilm mirrorless camera bodies these days and I'm able to easily open the battery compartment to change batteries without having to unscrew the baseplate, which makes life so much easier especially when time is money on working shoots. Thanks Peak Design for a great quality product!

Essential

When paired with anchors links, the Peak Design tripod, and the capture the standard plate has become an essential part of my work flow. I keep one attached to the bottom of each of my cameras allowing me to very quickly switch between having my camera on a leash, on the tripod on on the capture clip. This allows me all the versatility I need while shooting. I even am able to use the plate to lock into other tripods so I never really have to take the plates off! They stay on the camera really well and never seem to move. I don't think I have had to adjust them since I put them on a couple years ago.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Feels small for larger lenses, but does the job

Mounted on the tripod foot of my Sigma 150-600. Great for adding an anchor point securely. Only concern is that the size of the plate/contact area with the arca-swiss clamp on the tripod head is small. It doesn't fill the whole clamp. It's probably not a major issue, but it would be nice if they also sold longer versions of this plate to help better balance bigger lenses on tripods.
