The SmallRig Arca-Swiss Mount Plate for AirTag (MD5423) is a specialized mounting accessory designed for professional photographers and videographers using Sony Alpha and FX series cameras who want to add an extra layer of security to their gear. By integrating a discrete, hidden compartment for an Apple AirTag into a standard Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, it allows for real-time equipment tracking without sacrificing tripod compatibility or access to the battery door. Please note that this specific model is precision-engineered for Sony systems and is not compatible with other camera brands.

No, the plate is designed to maintain full access to the camera's battery compartment.
No, the Apple AirTag must be purchased separately.
No, the MD5423 is specific to Sony cameras. SmallRig offers separate models (MD5424 and MD5425) for Canon and Fujifilm respectively.
The integrated EVA foam padding is designed specifically to dampen vibrations and eliminate noise.
The plate comes with a dedicated Torx wrench which is all you need for both mounting the plate and managing the tamper-proof screws.
Ensure the anti-twist tabs are properly engaged and the mounting screw is fully tightened using the included wrench.
Verify that the plate is positioned correctly to clear the battery door path. If the door still hits the plate, confirm you are using the correct Sony model listed in the compatibility guide.
Installation is straightforward. First, align the plate with the 1/4"-20 mounting hole on the base of your Sony camera. Use the provided tool to secure the plate, ensuring the anti-twist tabs are seated correctly against the camera body. To insert an AirTag, open the compartment cover, place the tracker inside the EVA padded slot, and seal the cover using the tamper-proof screws.
Compatibility: This model is built for Sony Alpha 7S III, 7R III, 7 III, 7R IV, 7 IV, 7C, 7C II, 7C R, 7R V, 9 III, 6700, 6400, FX30, FX3, and ZV-E10 II.
Care: To keep the plate in top condition, wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth after outdoor shoots. Check the tamper-proof screws periodically to ensure they remain tight and have not vibrated loose over extended periods of heavy use.
