Passive holder Peak Design CP-BK-3 Camera Black

The Passive holder Peak Design CP-BK-3 Camera Black is a compact, all‑metal passive camera holder designed to secure a camera to belts, backpack straps or bags. It includes a metal clip that clamps to straps up to 6.4 cm wide and an ARCA‑type quick‑release plate that screws into the camera base. The Capture system holds the camera rigidly and provides instant access via a lockable quick‑release button while maintaining high load capacity and weather resistance.

Advantages

The CP-BK-3 features an anodized aluminum alloy chassis and stainless steel locking pin for durable, corrosion‑resistant performance. Its reduced size and weight compared with earlier versions improve comfort during extended wear. The clip secures to a wide range of straps and provides redundant locking to prevent accidental release. The included ARCA‑type plate also allows direct mounting to compatible tripods for fast transitions from carrying to shooting.

Suitable for

• Photographers who need instant camera access while hiking or traveling
• Outdoor and adventure use where a rigid, stable carry solution is required
• Studio workflows that benefit from quick on/off mounting to tripods
• Carrying additional gear such as lenses or compact cameras with compatible plates

How to use

Screw the included ARCA‑type plate into the camera’s tripod socket using the supplied bolt.

For tripod use, remove the plate from the clip and mount it directly to any compatible Arca‑type tripod head.

Usage recommendations

Check bolt tightness periodically and choose hex‑drive bolts for long‑term or heavy‑duty installations. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt spray and dry thoroughly to maintain anodized finish and stainless components.
