Questions & Answers

Daniel S : will this fit d750?
Shopper : does this fit the new 804 head?DAVID B : Any RC2 type of plate should fit any RC2 quick release head. . The Anti-Twist part of this plate is a lip on the camera side. Depending on the depth (front to back) of your camera baseplate, the lip may or may not fit securely, to keep the camera from twisting in portrait mode.
David W : Will this plate fit the 494RC2 head?ANTHONY F : I am not sure if it will fit that head, but check with Manfrotto and they will know. Also, this item will not fit some of the newer DSLR cameras, such as the Nikon D600.WILLIAM A : I purchased this for another head using the RC2 style quick release plate, and my understanding is that it will work with any RC2 style head. In fact I use it with three different heads.EDWARD L : I really don't know what the 494Rc2 head is. I bought the item to fit on a sunpack tripod head that I got gratis from someone. It had a head but no plate. It turns out that this plate is about 1/8 of an inch to wide. When I get time I will put the grinder to it and adapt it to the head. Other than that It works fine.ANDREW R : I believe this unit fits most RC2 compatible heads (including the 494RC2)

Manfrotto Anti Twist Plate 1/4" with Additional Lip to Prevent Camera Twist.

The Manfrotto plate with a metal plate locking your body in place. Does what it says. Not much more to say

Fantastic

I have a Canon 5D Mark IV and I use the Canon 85mm 1.2 lens on it to shot portraits. I have had problem with the camera twisting on the quick release plate when I shot verticals. The new Manfrotto Anti Twist Plate solved that problem. I highly recommend this product for anyone shooting verticals.

1/4-20 anti-twist plate!

Note that Manfrotto packages this item in 2 different versions: unless packaged wrong, this kit has a 1/4-20 tripod mounting screw. I've got 2 plates and they've both been correctly packaged with the 1/4-20 screw). The basic quick-release plate that comes with the Manfrotto heads has been near-worthless for me in portrait-mode (due to severe camera slippage). However, This anti-slip plate works very well, and really should be included with every one of Manfrotto's heads. It has definitely solved my frustrations with camera slippage!

Works quite well

Although I have switched to Arca Compatible Quick Release Systems with RRS L-brackets. This plate works quite well in preventing camera twist from lens torque when shooting with a Manfrotto RC-2 Quick Release Clamp. I had one on my camera permanently and used the stock plate which came with the head for my lenses that have tripod rings such as the 70-200mm f/4L IS.

I would certinly buy this product again

This quick release holds the camera very firmly. It has a slightly larger platform as a base for the camera. When used in the verticle position it is very solid. I would recommend this item to any photogrpher who ever uses a tripod.

good plate, stops the camera twist

It works to stop the twisting of the camera as advertised. I set it up so that the overhang is on the front surface of my Nikon. This allows me to open and use the floating LCD on my Nikon 5000. Works great. Tripods without the plates are not any good. So I wanted a second one in case I lost one. So the anti-twist plate is my day driver and the old one my back up.

Won't fit 35mm or smaller cameras

Won't work on 35mm or smaller bodies, which have 1/4" female tripod screws. Comes ONLY with 3/8" screw, rather than the 1/4" that works on 35mm or smaller bodies, despite description stating 1/4" twice. Cannot replace this screw with the 1/4" screw from the 3175N because that screw is not long enough to reach the body through this plate.

By ERIK C.

extra lip and double rubber prevents twist. Exactly as ordered

Let the Anti Twist Plate with 1/4" screw and additional lip be your solution for securing your camera and achieving precise alignment, especially for 90-degree vertical architectural photography. This high-quality plate is designed to prevent camera twist, ensuring that your camera remains stable and oriented correctly throughout your shoot.

Crafted with durability in mind, the sturdy construction of the Anti Twist Plate offers reliable performance, making it an essential accessory for both professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. The additional lip feature provides an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of your camera rotating or slipping during use.

While this plate is engineered to be compatible with most cameras that have a 1/4 inch tripod mount, it is important to note that it comes with a 3/8" screw. Users with 35mm or smaller camera bodies should be aware that an adapter may be necessary to ensure compatibility.

Despite this, the versatility of the Anti Twist Plate is evident in its ability to support a variety of shooting scenarios. Whether you're capturing the intricate lines of a skyscraper or the delicate details of interior design, this plate aids in maintaining the camera's position for that perfect shot.

The product's design also takes into consideration the convenience of photographers who use cameras with floating LCD screens, like the Nikon 5000. The overhang of the lip allows for easy access and use of these screens, demonstrating the thoughtful engineering behind this accessory.

Choosing the Anti Twist Plate by Manfrotto means investing in a piece of equipment that is synonymous with high-quality and excellence in the photography gear industry. Its proprietary quick release system ensures a secure and stable connection, setting it apart from generic alternatives.

In summary, the Anti Twist Plate with 1/4" screw and additional lip is a versatile, durable, and reliable choice for photographers seeking to enhance their camera stability and achieve precise alignment in their photography.
