Arca Swiss plate with Peak Design anchors

[Carl Hall]

For those who use Arca Swiss plates on telephoto lens feet, and also use Peak Design straps, what’s your set-up? I use a Peak Design Slide with my Fuji tele lens at the moment by using the anchor mount (one of these). I would like to get an Arca Swiss plate to mount on the lens foot so that I can mount it on a tripod quickly, but I can’t see a way of keeping the PD anchors attached without it interfering with the tripod clamp. The only options I’ve seen so far were either had a flimsy-looking loop which I wouldn’t trust (like this) or are quite expensive (like this). Surely there must be a basic Arca Swiss plate that has a hole in one end for attaching straps? If there is, I can’t find it!

This is how I've done it.

Looking at the Amazon reviews for the cheaper plate, the only low score seems to be for it not fitting (?orderer's error?) and it says it's all metal. The £28 plate might sound expensive but how much did the kit you plan to hang from it cost?
