I bought the Burgundy version of this item. I really hate to be the bearer of very bad news. I had high hopes, but the fact is this adapter/plate doesn't fit snugly in my Manfrotto RC-2 type clamp. More specifically, the adapter/plate slides inside my RC-2 clamp approx 1/8" side to side; it also rocks a tiny bit (also inside the clamp) when I wiggle my camera up and down from either side. The concept is great, the combo looks wonderful, the ProStrap is very functional with its superb quality nylon tether & leather hand-strap, and the plate itself is well constructed. But the BOTTOM LINE is the adapter/plate doesn't hold in place as it should when clamped and therefore I have absolutely no use for this item at any price. The adapter/plate has a 1/4-20 threaded hole that is compatible with anything you'd screw into your camera's tripod socket. However, if you attach a BlackRapid or similar shoulder strap via this plate's 1/4-20 hole, you'd have to remove the fastener (e.g., BlackRapid FR-3) in order to attach the plate + camera to your Manfrotto clamp. Sorry guys, but this item is a total "no go" for me.

The Camdapter Manfrotto Neoprene Adapter with Natural ProStrap provides a strong and functional hand strap system that can be used with a camera, neck strap and tripod - all at the same time. This adapter is recommended for cameras that do not have a rubber base around the tripod thread and that fit all cameras and tripod heads that use the Manfrotto 3157N camera plate (200PL in Europe) or the RC2-type QR adapters. The adapter is manufactured from rugged black anodized aluminum and contains an anti-slip, cloth-finished neoprene insert that adds an important anti-twist feature to the system. Once attached, the plate stays put and won't slip around like various camera flash brackets that skew and that you always find yourself readjusting.
The adapter plate screws into your tripod socket and has a 1/4-20 tripod thread on the bottom so you'll always be able to attach your camera to a tripod without removing the strap - a real benefit when the shot calls for added stability or a slow shutter speed. The adapter also has double strap lugs that permit you to use the ProStrap as well as a neck strap. This assures a double layer of protection against any possible slippage. The adapter is extremely lightweight at 1.72 oz (49 g) even with all its pins and screws.
The ProStrap is made from top grain leather and is soft and comfortable. It fits into your camera easily and stays in place once you've easily adjusted it to your hand. It's bolstered by heavy-duty nylon thread and is made from one continuous piece of rugged 3/8" nylon webbing. For added safety, it has a built-in slip lock.
