Troubleshooting
Plate feels loose after installation

Plate does not fit the tripod head
Verify that your tripod head is truly Arca-Swiss compatible, as some proprietary heads use different width or shape standards.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-less attachment saves time in the field
- Extremely durable CNC-machined construction
- Seamless integration with Peak Design straps and clips
- Provides a very secure, slip-free connection to camera bodies
Cons
- Not compatible with non-Arca-type tripod heads
- Small footprint may not provide enough stability for very large telephoto lenses
- Thumb-drive handle can be slightly bulky on smaller mirrorless bodies
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply flip out the thumb-drive handle on the underside of the plate, align the screw with your camera's tripod socket, and rotate until firm. For long-term maintenance, ensure the rubber pad remains clean of debris to maintain maximum friction. The plate is compatible with all Peak Design tripods, the Capture Camera Clip V3, and most standard Arca-type tripod heads. It is recommended to check the screw tightness periodically if you frequently swap the plate between different camera bodies.
