Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Extended Arca-Type Quick Release Plate 3162B is an essential accessory for videographers using DJI RS-series gimbals who need extra mounting flexibility. By providing an additional 25mm of length compared to standard plates, it allows for greater lateral adjustments, making it perfect for uniquely shaped cameras or setups using bulky camera cages like the BMPCC 4K. While this plate solves major balancing hurdles for complex builds, users should note that the extended length may require recalibrating your gimbal's axis locks after installation.

FAQs

Is this plate compatible with non-DJI gimbals?

The plate is specifically designed for the DJI RS series Arca-type system. While it may technically fit other Arca-compatible receivers, it is optimized for the dimensions of DJI gimbal arms.

Does this plate work with standard Arca-Swiss tripod heads?

Yes, it is designed as an Arca-type plate, so it will fit most industry-standard Arca-Swiss tripod clamps.

Can I use this with cameras that don't have a cage?

Yes, the plate works perfectly with standard camera bodies. The rubber pads ensure your camera base is protected even without a cage.

What is the primary material used?

The plate is constructed from a combination of aluminum alloy and stainless steel for maximum durability.

Does it include both mounting screws?

Yes, the plate is designed to accommodate 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws to suit a wide range of gear.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels unstable or wobbles when mounted

Check that the screw is tightened fully using the built-in screwdriver and ensure the rubber pads are making even contact with the camera base.

Cannot slide the plate into the gimbal receiver

Ensure the gimbal receiver lock is fully released and verify that the plate is oriented correctly before sliding it into the groove.

The magnetic screwdriver is loose or falls out

Inspect the magnet area for debris that might prevent the tool from sitting flush; clean with compressed air or a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align your camera or cage base with the appropriate 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 mounting holes on the plate. Use the integrated magnetic screwdriver to tighten the screws firmly. Once attached, slide the plate into the Arca-type receiver on your DJI gimbal head until it locks into place.

Care Instructions

  • Wipe the rubber pads periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and maintain high friction levels.
  • Keep the magnetic screwdriver clean and ensure it is snapped securely into its slot to prevent loss during transport.
  • If the plate becomes exposed to salt air or moisture, clean it with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately to preserve the aluminum finish.
