Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Arca-Type Mount Plate with 15mm Dual Rod Clamp is an essential utility for videographers and cinematographers who rely on Arca-Swiss camera cages and need to integrate cinema-standard rod-mounted accessories. It is ideal for filmmakers using follow focus units, matte boxes, or V-mount battery systems, offering a secure and rapid-release platform. While it provides excellent versatility, users should note that it adds some bulk to the camera rig, which may be a consideration for those prioritizing a lightweight, run-and-gun setup.

FAQs

Does this plate come with 15mm rods?

Yes, the kit includes two 30cm carbon fiber rods.

Can I use this with a Manfrotto tripod?

Yes, the base of the mount has multiple 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes, allowing for compatibility with various Manfrotto quick-release systems and standard tripod plates.

Is the flip-lever adjustable?

Yes, the Arca flip-lever is designed to provide a secure fit and can be adjusted for different plate tolerances.

What is the maximum weight the rods can support?

The rods are designed to support standard cinema accessories like follow focus units and matte boxes; avoid overloading them with extremely heavy cine-prime lenses.

Does it work with any Arca-Swiss plate?

It is compatible with most standard Arca-Swiss plates on the market, though results may vary with proprietary non-standard plates.

How do I maintain the locking mechanism?

Keep the locking knob and flip-lever clean and free of sand or grit. Periodic use of a dry silicone lubricant spray can help if the movement becomes stiff.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose in the mount

Ensure the Arca-Swiss plate on your camera is centered and the flip-lever is fully engaged in the locked position.

15mm rods are sliding or shifting during use

Check that the single locking mechanism is tightened securely; ensure the rods are free of oil or debris that may cause them to slip.

Incompatible with tripod head

Verify that your tripod head supports the 1/4" or 3/8" mounting threads provided on the base of the plate, or use a screw-in adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your plate, begin by attaching the base plate to your tripod head using either the 1/4" or 3/8" mounting screws located on the bottom. Slide your carbon fiber rods into the rod clamp and tighten the single locking lever until they are firm. Slide your camera (equipped with an Arca-Swiss plate) into the mount, and engage the flip-lever to lock the camera in place.

Compatibility Note: This device is compatible with most standard Arca-Swiss plates and supports Manfrotto-style setups via the integrated base threading. For proper care, keep the rod clamp clean of debris and ensure the flip-lever mechanism is free of dust to maintain a secure lock. Store in a dry environment and avoid over-tightening the screws beyond the point of resistance.
