Product Information
Full details
The Sirui TY-50 is an essential accessory for photographers and videographers who utilize Arca-style mounting systems, providing a reliable and stable connection between cameras or lens feet and tripod heads. Designed for those who value precision and equipment safety, this plate features a compact footprint and integrated anti-twist mechanisms; however, users should note it is specifically designed for standard 1/4"-20 threads and may not fit specialized equipment requiring larger screw sizes.

FAQs
Is the Sirui TY-50 compatible with all tripod heads?
It is compatible with all tripod heads that utilize the Arca-Swiss quick-release standard.
Can I leave this plate on my camera permanently?
Yes, its low-profile, lightweight design makes it suitable for semi-permanent attachment to most cameras.
What is the weight of the TY-50?
The plate weighs approximately 31.4 grams.
Does this plate work with video cameras?
Yes, provided the video camera has a standard 1/4"-20 mounting point.
What should I do if the rubber pads wear out?
While the pads are durable, if they begin to peel or degrade, we recommend contacting Sirui support for replacement options or using a high-quality adhesive to re-attach them.
Does the screw require a special tool?
The screw is designed to be tightened using a coin, a screwdriver, or a hex key, depending on your preference.
Troubleshooting
Camera rotates or shifts on the plate.
Ensure the 1/4"-20 screw is fully tightened and that the anti-twist stoppers are properly engaged against the edge of the camera or lens foot.
The plate does not slide into the tripod clamp.
Verify that your tripod clamp is fully open and that no debris is obstructing the groove of the clamp. Check if the safety-lock pin on your clamp is catching the plate.
Screw seems too loose even after tightening.
Check if your camera's tripod mounting hole is deep enough for the screw length; if not, you may require a thin spacer or washer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the TY-50, align the 1/4"-20 screw with your camera’s tripod socket. Tighten the screw using a coin or a flat-head tool, ensuring it is snug against the camera base. Before mounting to your tripod, verify that your tripod head clamp is open wide enough to accommodate the plate's width.
