Peak Design PL-D-2 Dual Plate (Black) SKU: PL-D-2

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High quality fit This product has a great build quality and fit perfectly in my Manfrotto BeFree tripod. Very happy with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One plate to rule them all 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good coverage than standard plate 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works perfect with Manfrotto tripod 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dual Plates 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don’t have a PD tripod - yet 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Saved me money 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great not perfect but secure enough. Manfrotto MT190 XPRO4 Aluminum 4-Section Tripod with MHXPRO-BHQ2 XPRO Ball Head. I was unsure if this would work. It does. It sometimes doesn't lockup completely because of Peak tether. If mindfull of the peak tethers on this plate. It locks in secure. I'm very pleased with this plate. Thanks for making an adaptor for our Monfrotto tripod heads.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredibly smart way to never change plates. Opens up the possibility to have only plate rolling between tripod, capture clip, and the gimbal with just a click-snap. Just note that you'll need an Arca-swiss plate on the gimbal, which sometimes requires a 10-20 replacement part. But once you've got it setup, it's great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good plate for tripod Good quality plate. I wish it had a loop to not require an Allen key.
Date published: 2022-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! I bought this for use on both tripod and my capture clip. Seamless transition from one to the other, which is what I was hoping for. Works great, well made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Design Peak Design!! I bought the Dual Plate and I am so happy I did. I can now use my camera on my trusty tripod, and my Capture clip without the need to fuss with various adaptors. Not only that, I attached a Peak Design Anchor to the Dual Plate giving me even greater flexibility when using my camera.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Item Love this item when i purchased it..it makes my life as a filmmaker easier...i have both manfrotto quick release plate and arca swiss release plate and this dual plate will work for both..i purchased a couple of them and im loving it..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must if you use manfrotto tripods You need to use this version of clip if you are swopping between Capture clip & Manfrotto tripod s certainly cheaper than swopping bullheads
Date published: 2022-02-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only plates I use now. Love these plates! As someone who uses manfrotto tripods as well as the Peak Design tripod, these plates are perfect! I put these plates on all my cameras, throw a couple Peak Design anchors on them and they stay there forever.
Date published: 2022-02-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love the versatility I still have and use my old Manfrotto tripods. This plate saves me a lot of screwing around aka switching plates, when I need to use my Manfrotto tripod. Yes, there are times I still need it over the PD Travel Tripod

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Built to last I bought this item 2 years ago and I haven't taken it from the camera. It works perfectly with my tripods
Date published: 2022-01-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from More like triple plate I have a mix of tripods but they are all manfrotto except one; my travel tripod has an arca Swiss type plate- so it’s quite a pain to take off each plate and add the next one… or worse- forget the right plate on a vacation. Speaking of which, I just went on vacation and used this clip and it worked perfect for both types of tripods and even the peak quick clip I borrowed from my dual lens attachment. It was great to hike and know my camera was secure and also quickly available. Only downside is the cost, but you get what you pay for- so this might be the only tripod base plate I ever need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You need this I have a peak design tripod and another brand that I use regularly. I’ve adapted my other tripods to use Arica Swiss plates so I never have to worry about taking one plate off and putting it on another camera or other tripod. This plate is a lifesaver. If you haven’t adapted all of your gear to one type of quick release, do it. You will never be disappointed
Date published: 2021-12-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works perfect with my Manfrotto rc2 I bought this so that I did not have to keep replacing the quick release plate on my camera when switching between my capture and my Manfrotto tripod. This is so convenient! Love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Makes life so much easier! I am a hobbyist photographer, previous professional portrait photographer. I've decided to take up landscape photography, so now I use my older heavy duty manfrotto tripod for landscape. When I first became aware of peak design cuff and strap, I thought they might not work with how often I switch to tripod mode. Ideally I wanted a neck/shoulder strap for portrait photography and a wrist cuff for security when I switch to landscape. Then I came across this dual plate in a youtube review. It works great with my tripod. Absolutely no problems. I wish there was an easier option to take it off without the allen wrench. I have had a few times where I wanted to take the center post out of my tripod to get lower on a shot, but I can't because I would need to take out the plate and mount the camera directly to the screw on the bottom post which converts. Of course, this problem might be fixed with a newer tripod, I am just not ready to spend that cash. It would be easier and cheaper for this plate to have an easier mechanism to detach. This plate and the easy switch for the neck and cuff straps are basically the reason I switched from my black rapid strap. Going to tripod mode was too much of a pain with it. THANK you PD!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good but not quite perfect yet. I have had an issue with the dual plate which does not mate securely first time, every time with my Manfrotto head. Bernie in the Peak Design team has been brilliant in trying to help, so PDs after sales in my view is faultless, but this leaves me with an issue which means that there are times when I get the reassuring "click" from my head locking lever, but the plate turns out not to be seated securely - this had led to some very near misses with expensive gear nearly coming away from the head. We have now tried 3 plates and the result is the same on all. My head works perfectly with the Manfrotto plate - safe as houses - so I feel that the design of the PD dual plate needs a little tweak. I stress that the PD team have been first class throughout and have referred the issue to their design team, but Manfrotto users, just take extra care or use a workaround and mount an arca plate on your RC2 plate for safety if this is an issue for you too. Loses a star for this issue. Otherwise, the clip system is a game changer for me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from High quality material Very high quality and good idea, but slightly moves around in the capture clip

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A hobbyist opinion I have the dual plate on my Fuji XT-4 and typically use it with my PD aluminum tripod. To be completely honest, I bought this plate because it "looked" better on my camera than the tiny plate that came with the PD tripod. My only gripe with this plate is the fact that it relies on an Allen key to adjust/remove. As a result, I find myself carrying Allen keys in my bag like Tic Tacs. It would be nice if future versions came with a D-ring hinged screw.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works perfectly Small and fits perfectly on my Manfrotto BeFree travel tripod. It will stay on my camera permanently due to low profile.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dual Plate The dual plate is well designed taking into consideration room for the PD ties and ease of attaching the plate to a tripod

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the smartest little products possible Someone at Peak one day was clearly fed up with the state of tripod plates and their anchoring system. I think a justification for the lack of a tool-less option to remove this is that why ever really take it off? When I'm carrying my camera its usually resting on my lower back, and that's only comfortable for me with the anchors on the right side and bottom of the camera. While their included small attachment for anchoring to the bottom should absolutely have a tool-less system, this allows me to not compromise on anything. It always on, and I can connect to any tripod while carrying my camera exactly how I want. This will not leave my camera unless I sell the camera, and then its going on the next one. Brilliant!
