Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig 4195 Arca-Swiss Mount Plate is an essential accessory for videographers using the DJI RS 3 Mini who need to mount cage-equipped DSLR or mirrorless cameras securely. This adapter plate significantly improves workflow by allowing for rapid transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting modes while lowering the camera's center of gravity by 10mm to facilitate easier balancing with larger lens setups. One important caveat to keep in mind is that the package does not include an Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, so you must already possess one that fits your specific camera cage.

FAQs

Does this plate come with an Arca-Swiss quick release plate?

No, the package does not include an Arca-Swiss quick release plate; you must use the one provided with your camera cage.

Is this compatible with the standard DJI RS 3 or Pro version?

No, this specific model (4195) is designed exclusively for the DJI RS 3 Mini.

What is the benefit of the 10mm lower center of gravity?

Lowering the center of gravity makes it easier to balance heavier camera and lens combinations on the compact RS 3 Mini, reducing motor strain.

Can I switch to vertical mode without removing the camera?

Yes, the plate is designed to facilitate quick transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.

What materials is the plate made from?

The plate is crafted from durable aluminum and stainless steel for enhanced longevity.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels unbalanced after mounting

Ensure the plate is fully pushed forward in the receiver to take advantage of the 10mm lowered center of gravity, then re-calibrate the gimbal motors.

Plate is difficult to slide into the receiver

Check the receiver for any debris or obstructions and ensure the locking lever is fully in the 'open' position before insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your camera is securely attached to an Arca-Swiss compatible cage. Simply align the plate with the RS 3 Mini receiver and slide it in vertically until the locking lever clicks into place. Always verify that the locking lever is fully engaged and the anti-off safety buttons are depressed to ensure a secure fit. For maintenance, keep the stainless steel components clean and free of debris. Periodically check the tightness of the thumbscrew to ensure no vibrations have caused it to loosen over long shooting days. This unit is specifically compatible with the DJI RS 3 Mini and supports a wide variety of mirrorless cameras, including the FUJIFILM X-T5 and LUMIX GH6.
