Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig Arca-Type Quick Release Plate 5802 is an essential accessory for content creators and videographers using camera cages who need to switch frequently between landscape and portrait orientations. It provides a seamless transition for vertical shooting without obstructing the camera's LCD screen or vital ports. While it significantly boosts efficiency for gimbal and tripod users, it is specifically designed for use with camera cages rather than direct camera mounting.

FAQs
Can I use this plate without a camera cage?
No, the 5802 is specifically engineered to mount to the side of a camera cage.
Does this block my battery door?
The plate is designed to clear the battery door and essential ports on most common camera cages, but individual cage designs may vary.
Is it compatible with non-DJI gimbals?
It is compatible with any gimbal that accepts standard Arca-type plates.
What is the included dual-head wrench for?
It allows you to tighten the mounting screws onto your cage quickly without needing external tools.
Will this work with the RS 3 Mini?

Troubleshooting
The plate wobbles when mounted to the cage.
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened using the provided dual-head wrench.
Difficulty sliding the plate into the gimbal clamp.
Ensure the gimbal clamp is sufficiently loosened and that there is no debris stuck inside the Arca-type groove.
Camera is unbalanced on the gimbal in portrait mode.
Adjust the position of the camera within the gimbal arm or re-calibrate the gimbal motors to compensate for the weight shift.
