SmallRig Quick Release Clamp and Plate - Arca-Type Compatible

Arca-Type is a common standard for quick-release plates and clamps used in photography. It typically involves a dovetail design that allows for quick and secure mounting and dismounting of cameras on tripods.

Yes, the clamp features an adjustable screw that allows it to be cross-compatible with most Arca-type plates. You may need to adjust the screw for an optimal fit.

The small screw allows you to adjust the tightness of the clamp. This is useful for accommodating plates that might not perfectly match the Arca-type standard or for increasing the grip security.

The 1/4''-20 and 3/8''-16 threaded holes on the bottom of the clamp are for mounting the clamp itself onto tripods, jibs, sliders, or other camera support equipment.

Both the clamp and the plate are constructed from durable Aluminium Alloy.

The package includes one 2144B Quick Release Clamp, one Arca-type compatible plate, four 1/4"-20 screws, one 3/8"-16 screw, and two hex spanners.

Wipe the clamp and plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Ensure the plate is fully seated in the clamp. Tighten the clamp lever firmly. If necessary, adjust the small screw on the lever to increase the clamp's grip.

Check for any obstructions in the clamp or on the plate. Ensure the clamp lever is fully open. If using a non-Arca plate, slightly loosen the adjustment screw on the lever.

Gently attempt to re-align and screw in the mounting screw. Avoid excessive force. If threads are damaged, the clamp may need replacement.

Verify you are using an Arca-type compatible plate. Adjust the small screw on the clamp lever to increase the clamping pressure.
