Customer Reviews for Peak Design - Field Plate - Black
Posted by: ogham
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great alternative to the standard quick connect plate. One of my cameras I find myself adding a rig to and doing some second cam video. This is a great alternative to the standard plate as I can quickly remove the plate and strap and get it onto a shoulder rig. The only downside I see is that it isn't compatible with the legacy capture system but in fairness those came out over a decade ago.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is great! Plates do work themselves loose and its great not to need a coin or tool to tighten.

Happy to have this! I have two main cameras and bought one for each. Love how easy this is to switch my camera for vertical photos on the tripod (PD travel tripod) it’s a relief to not have to worry about always having the Allen wrench with me for the old plate. These should be included in tripod and capture clip purchases. Wish I didn’t have to buy this separately.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Why is Standard Plate out of stock for so long?
on June 1, 2026
Posted by: Bill Emeritus
Clever and effective but not enough to compensate for my irritation at the unavailability for an extended period of the standard plate which forced me to buy the Field Plate. I hope that the standard plate being out of stock was a random if surprising accident and not the result of Peak wanting to promote the Field Plate and I would be reassured about Peak if you wrote to me explaining why a product as simple and important to users as the Standard Plate has been out of stock for so long.

Good but expensive
on May 16, 2026

Pro: Nice and thin connection turn screw.
Unsure: Haven't had enough time for long term field test, unclear of its longevity (in the review someone else already broke one). Life time warranty doesn't matter if it breaks in the field.
Con: As with all things PD, expensive. Got some 1/4-20 thread D-Ring (coin slot) to replace the one that came with older/thicker PD plates (didn't like having 4mm hex only as an option). The older/thicker PD plates fit some older DSLRs better with the older Capture. New thinner plates work better with mirrorless.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Whilst I think the concept is interesting, it doesn't really work when used with a fieldscope as it loosens far too easily. so much so that i removed it and used the old field plate that I tighten with the allen key. It's only a small fieldscope - a Swarovski ATC - but it unwound too easily. I haven't tried it with a camera but in think the old field plate is better

This one is a great addition to the PD Ecosystem though quite expensive. Would be great to get a double- or triple-combo for a reduced price.

Feild plate perfects the base plate
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: Jim M
I really like the base plate. I moved from capture clip to strap to tripod. all great, but then my base plate came loose and my camera fell to the ground. I looked around Ireland, Scotland, and Norway for a Allen wrench to get my base plate propperly screwed back in. then the field plate was released. it allows me to do everything I want with the confidence that I can tighten the pate when I need to. As I did today.
