You get 4 great camera accessories that work together quite well and save $15 over buying each component separately.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/peakdesignltd.com\/store\/capturepro\">Capture Pro is $79.95<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/peakdesignltd.com\/store\/cuff\">Cuff strap is $19.95<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/peakdesignltd.com\/store\/leash\">Leash strap is $34.95<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/peakdesignltd.com\/store\/propad\">Pro Pad is $29.95<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Initially, this started as a search for a new way to connect my Olympus OMD EM-1 to my tripod. I have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Manfrotto-190CXPRO4-4-Section-Carbon-without\/dp\/B0015MHY6K\">Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 4-Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod<\/a> &amp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Manfrotto-496RC2-Release-Replaces-486RC2\/dp\/B002N5NRSC\">\u00a0Manfrotto 496RC2 Ball Head with Quick Release<\/a>. The tripod is great! Super light-weight and very easy to use. Lots of features that I can\u2019t live without now. I\u2019ve been wanting to do more night-photography and time-lapse work with my OMD so getting the camera to fit the tripod was problematic.<\/p>\n<p>The cheapest solution was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Manfrotto-Release-Special-Adapter-200PL\/dp\/B008I2175E\/ref=pd_sim_e_1?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=13D7JYXKF067B8JQTCN5\">Manfrotto RC2 plate<\/a>\u00a0but the more I read about the Peak Design CapturePro + ProPad, the more I wanted them. I also have been looking for a replacement strap and easy hand cuff so this worked really well as far as pricing.<\/p>\n<p>The actual Peak Design slab will stay connected to my camera at all times, I can wear the ProPad on photo walks or easily switch to the leash via really easy to use snap-on connectors. Changing the Cuff to Leash to ProPad is really easy. Removing the strap takes seconds instead of minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the connectors:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Peak Design Professionals Pack' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14704754986\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2904\/14704754986_d1f758f936_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peak Design Professionals Pack\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They go in the camera\u2019s strap hooks and snap into Peak Design accessories quite easy.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the Capture Pro<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Peak Design Professionals Pack' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14541307107\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2923\/14541307107_b42e0ec6bd_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peak Design Professionals Pack\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Peak Design Professionals Pack' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14725385004\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3850\/14725385004_aa261a5a8e_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peak Design Professionals Pack\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally, the Pro Pad which works with the Capture Pro to allow easy removal of the camera.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Peak Design Professionals Pack' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14727752185\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3902\/14727752185_83ab3a6277_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peak Design Professionals Pack\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to using this on hikes.
