Questions & Answers

Shopper : Wish Adorama included photo of underside of the plate. Will the spring loaded safety stop pin in my Arca Swiss clamp mount have anything to catch onto (do its job) on the bottom of this plate?SCOTT D : Yes, the underside of this plate is pocketed out to catch onto the detent pin.PATRICK T : Yes, it does. There is a trough on both sided of the screw that the pin fits into.
Shopper : Attaching screw is 1/4 20 threads correct?THOMAS W : The screw is a standard size - worked perfectly with a Canon 70-200 lens tripod mount ring.CHARLES J : Yes, it is the same as a standard tripod screw for cameras, 1/4-20.EDWARD C : Pretty sure it is 1/4-20. I don't have a thread gauge but the machine screw fits into to my Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L just fine. Also, I gather that 20 tpi is the 1/4 inch standard from the Acratech FAQs on their web site.SARA H : Yes, it works on my Olympus cameras (4/3 and micro 4/3) and I believe it's the standard connection for most cameras and tripod collards.
Shopper : Will this work on a Giotto MH5400?James L : I am using this with a Pentax Telephoto lens that has a tripod mount. I am mounting the Pentax K5 with the long lens to a manfrotto tripod with the Acratech head on it. The long quick release plate alows me to have a better and stronger connection to the lens mount, it also alows me to shift the tripod forward and backward to balance the weight of the long lens. I am not familiiar with the Giotto product that is mentioned. SorrySANFORD W : If it's got an ARCA Compatible QR Ballhead, then it will work. JOSEPH C : I cannot find a MH5400 listed on the Giotto website. If it has an Acra-Swiss clamp this plate will work.SARA H : I use mine on an Acratech ballhead, so I don't know what other ballhead brands will accomodate it.MICHAEL H : Presuming that you've checked that the ballhead is designed to handle the weight of the camera/lens combo you are using, yes, the Acratech quick release plate will work with the MH5400. According to its description, it accepts all Arca type plates. The plate, attached to the lens, would fit into the dovetails that are occupied in the picture with a generic Giotto quick release plate.SPIVAK, M : It should work with any Arca Swiss compatible head.

Nice footplate

Stop looking, this is the one you want.

I don't have to worry about my mount weakening or coming loose. They may be pricey but, you only have to purchase it once.

An expensive but necessary item

I already had one of these on my nikon 70-200, but found the need for one on my 300 f4. It is light and does what it is supposed to do. The lip in the back is nice since it prevents the plate from rotating once secured. Not the most exciting thing to spend money on at close to $40, but it serves its purpose.

Excellent quality

This is an excellent plate. It attaches very solidly. It will not rotate or shift at all once attached. It's very sturdy and I have total confidence it will hold my expensive gear securly. My only criticism is that the price seems a little high for a seemingly very simple piece of machined aluminum.

Arca Type Quick Release Plate for Lenses

Easy to rate this. It fits perfect for the lens it was made for. No twisting or turning at all. Locks solidly.

Solid, trustworthy construction

This is one finely crafted piece of metal. And it should be for this price! Seriously, though, if I am going to trust my heavy gear on a tripod, I want it attached to something I can trust. This plate passes the test. My only concern is that the screw is not trapped; it separates from the plate when not installed. The plate ought to come with two screws for that inevitable time when I lose one.

Excellent QR Plate

I attached this to my Nikon 80-200 f2.8 to use as a QR for my monopod. Works better than I had hoped -- no slipping, stays firmly attached and adds essentially no weight to the setup. Does not get in the way when using the lens handheld.

Nice solid plate

Very solid plate for larger lenses, at a reasonable price. I bought this for a 400mm f/3.5 Nikon lens, and it works perfectly. It holds the lens very firmly, and is long enough to allow me to position the ballhead clamp so that it balances the camera and lens on my tripod.
