Converts single stage collectors into 2 stage dust systemsDesigned to fit securely on a standard 5 gallon bucketMolded absInlet, outlet openings using 2 1/2 inch diameter hose
Just stick this thing on a bucket and jam in the hoses. So easy even I can figure it out. :)

Elaboration edit: By going 2 stage you're also saving your vacuum bags and filter lifespan by saving the dust in an interim collection bin. I'm not rich and cannot afford the actual solutions, so this was a good step in the right direction.
I have the 734 and have it hooked up to a dust cyclone
That is basically a fancy lid for a 5 gallon bucket. The shop vac sucks the chips out of the planer and drops them into the bucket instead of filling up the shop vac.
It works pretty well.
If you just hook a hose up to the planer it will just clog up because the 734 doesn't have a chip blower.
Not to downplay building something yourself that works well, but I just bought a bucket top for $16 on Amazon that does the same thing. It helps a ton. I even use it hooked up to my big dust collector to filter out the big chips.
