The Arca plate is perfect. However, your ad shows a small red cloth being included which did not come with the product. If the cloth has been dropped, Adorama should update the picture to maintain your high quality standards in advertising.

Bought this to put on a Nikon 200-500 Zoom lens. A perfect fit with both the lens & with the 3LT quick release on my tripod. Great prices on all the Breakthrough plates.

Can't beat it for the price. Allows me to easily swap the camera between tripods and gimbals because the plate stays on permanently. And with the dedicated strap loop, I leave my Peak Design anchors attached permanently, too. So switching from hand-held to a stand is a piece of cake. Appears to be well made and sturdy, has thoughtful touches like the padding on the camera side and a higher "lip" on the front to make to it easier to align the plate, and it came in nice packaging and even with a little cleaning cloth. For reference, the size is actually a little wider than the body of my Fuji XT-3, so there is a slight overhang out the back of the camera (a few mm), and it is still small enough that I can properly access the battery compartment.

I needed an inexpensive arca-type plate and this fit that bill. The actual width and taper of this plate seems narrower than my PD plates, so it requires more manual adjustment of my quick-release clamps than I'd like. In fact, it was almost too narrow for my clamps, but it just barely fits. I appreciate the friction pads which prevent the plate from rotating on the body, the optional screws in the bottom that can help prevent the plate from slipping out of the clamp, and the removable lip on the side which can be used to align the plate squarely with the body. It will also make some people happy that the attachment screw has a flip-up handle for hand-adjustment, a slot for coin adjustment, and a hex socket for those that prefer to use an allen key. No matter where you fall on that particular argument, they have you covered. It's not perfect, but it's perfectly serviceable and it has a number of nice features for the price. I prefer the PD capture plates, but I'd buy it again.

It's well made and the price is right, but it would be much better if it had a better method of locking than the rubber. It will still loosen and spin even when tightened with a screwdriver.

Very good product for the price. Better than the other knock off Arca Swiss plates.

You simply cannot get a better deal than the Breakthrough Photography Arca-Type plates. I now own two of them, this one and the 60mm version, and both are simply stellar in quality, design, looks and workmanship. And to top it all off, are really inexpensive compared to the "name" brands. Don't hesitate, you'll love it. One of the best features to me is the thumb screw at the bottom. Who wants to carry around an allen hex wrench, not me!

Sometimes you want or need to put your smaller digital camera on a tripod. You can get great low light photos with many of the newer small cameras. This quick release plate is perfect for mounting your small camera on a pocket or travel tripod. The quality is high, the pads eliminate slippage and the end stop is removable if necessary. And the price is very reasonable. Overall a top choice for your next Arca/Swiss quick release plate.

It doesn’t get any better than this. Modular Arca style plate at this price? Officially an anti-twist camera plate, it can be converted to the standard plate by removing anti-twist flange. Most of anti-twist designs are single piece, direct metal-to-body contact. Result are scratched camera body finishes, ruining the resale price. This one has the rare pads on the top. Flange is still just the straight metal, but can be removed if so desired. There is even the camera strap loop. I do not get this latest fad. Well, it is there for those who fancy it. But what makes this anti-twist plate completely unique is the use of D-ring screw. Nobody else includes it at any price range. And you cannot just replace the annoying hex head screw on other plates with the D-ring screw. It would not fit in the space on many. The plate has to be designed to accommodate wider screw head. Overall, for the features-to-price ratio, I have not found a peer for this model. I only wish they would make more sizes.

Just a touch wider than the camera but it works. Unfortunaltely, there's no place to loop the camera strap quick connects so I had to loop it around the screw threads. Very tight fit. But it is an arca swiss fit and very nice finish. Well built
