Very good plates for Arca Swiss clamps of most brands

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021

I bought 2 lower priced Arca Swiss clamps (with plates) to convert two low end tripods, one from GPX, the other an older Targus, and each have similar, looking quick release plates, but may not be compatible with each other so decided after some research to go Arca Swiss as they are a bit more universally accepted across most brands, even the lower end ones.

These were in an Amazon pouch in a plastic pouch and were well finished, the size I needed (50mm) and one when mounted to the GoPro and into the Utebit clamp, fit well and thus gave me 2 extra plates, one as a spare, the other to mount a tripod base from GoPro for my GoPro so it can be placed on a tripod or GPX variant of the Gorillapod as well as my monopod, which has no quick release plate head so will pick up another 2 clamps to convert those to Arca Swiss, all that and not need to break the bank right now.

These plates when mounted, you'd never know they were a different brand to the clamps themselves, a benefit of Arca Swiss mounts.

Screw is too long & turn handle is too small

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2021

The screw is too long to fit some of my equipment, which means the screw bottoms out before the plate mates to the camera, etc. I tried using a washer so that the screw wouldn't bottom out. If the washer is on the camera side you don't have a solid connection because the washer prevents the plate's rubber pads to hold the plate to the camera. If the washer is on the handle side the plate can't be slid to the center of the slot length. I would have returned this item but found that I could use it on some cameras without the bottoming out problem. The turn handle is very small and hard to hold onto to get a good torque for tightening. I will not purchase another one of these plates that has such a hard to turn handle, even if the screw length meets specs.

Great value for the price

You could spend more than twice as much for ONE of these mounting plates at an online camera store, or you can get two of them here at an excellent price. They fit an Arca-Swiss mount as you would expect, and the flat surface mount makes them compatible w most if not all camera DSLR camera bodies. The material quality seems a bit less substantial than more expensive mounts, but that's not a dealbreaker. I'm glad I found these mounts. Great price, excellent quality, and does the job intended. Can't go wrong.

Well made, dirt cheap price

When I ordered these, I was skeptical because of the low price. However, they have made me a happy camper. I placed them on large lenses with tripod collars and they fit great. I think I'll order some more just to keep on hand. You can't have too many of these things!

They work as described. I use one on a nikon d5500 on a desmond 44mm ball head. They don't appear to be super heavy duty but they also don't carry the price tag as such. Works great for my needs.

Fits all 3 of my tripods

Like the wide square base - was afraid it would not fit but these fit all 3 of my tripods. Good for larger cameras and as general arca-swiss compatible spares.

This is just what I needed

I ordered this to mount my Beastgrip Pro to my RRS tripod with an Arca Swiss ballhead. I didn't really need two of them but this seems to be the way most of these are packaged and the for the price why not? It works perfectly and locks down tight on my tripod. Would recommend.

Makes Mounting Various Items to ARCA Tripod Easy

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

This inexpensive item is just what I needed. I put one on my chronograph and another on a spotting scope. The threads matched perfectly so it must be an industry standard. Now it is very quick and easy to place on a tripod with an ARCA attachment. It's just what I needed. I would buy again.

Works great without stop screws

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022

Got these to add to a spotting scope and chronometer for use on a Vanguard tripod with the PH32 head. The stop screws had to be removed for the plate to fit. Once they were off, it fit perfectly.

Works with Neewer N55C

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

This aftermarket replace shoe fits the Neewer N55C tripod. It fastens the camera to the shoe via 1/4" screw that can be secure via a coin, or the built in d-ring.
One caveat, if using a Canon G7X the shoe needs to be used where the long part of the camera body goes along the short side of the shoe. Mounting the camera on the 50mm side of this shoe doesn't have adequate grip due to how the rubber is configured on this shoe (the camera sits between the rubber). A camera with a larger frame than the G7X probably won't have this issue.
This is a 5 star product for a larger camera frame, but for use with the G7X is a 4 star due to how the camera sits between the rubber when mounted on the 50mm side.
