Product Information
Full details
The Wimberley P20 Quick Release Plate is an essential accessory for wildlife and sports photographers who rely on collared telephoto lenses. Its primary benefit is providing a rock-solid, anti-twist connection to your lens collar, ensuring complete stability during long-exposure or high-magnification shots. While it offers superior security, users should note that lenses with larger 3/8-inch mounting holes on their feet will require a 1/4-inch reducer bushing for proper installation.

FAQs
Is the P20 compatible with Manfrotto heads?
The P20 is Arca-Swiss compatible. It will only work with Manfrotto heads if you have replaced the standard Manfrotto clamp with an Arca-compatible adapter.
Does this come with a mounting screw?
Yes, the plate includes a standard 1/4-inch screw for attaching to your lens foot.
What is the length of the P20?
The P20 is a 3.9-inch plate, providing ample surface area for secure mounting on telephoto collars.
Can I use this on my camera body?
The P20 is designed specifically for telephoto lens collars. It is generally too long and lacks the appropriate profile for camera bodies.
What material is the plate made of?
It is constructed from high-quality, anodized aluminum for a balance of strength and low weight.
Troubleshooting
The plate feels loose after mounting
Ensure the screw is tightened firmly against the lens foot. If it remains loose, check if your lens foot requires a different screw length or a washer.
Plate does not fit into the tripod clamp
Verify that your tripod head uses a standard Arca-Swiss style clamp. If the clamp is a different proprietary type, the P20 will not be compatible.
The plate rotates on the lens foot
Double-check that the anti-twist flanges are properly seated against the edges of the lens foot. If the lens foot is not compatible with these specific flanges, the plate will not seat correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the P20 plate with the mounting hole on your lens collar foot. Insert the included 1/4-inch screw and tighten it securely using a coin or hex key. If you find your lens foot has a larger 3/8-inch thread, you must insert a 1/4-inch reducer bushing before attempting to mount the plate. For maintenance, clean the underside of the plate and your tripod clamp periodically with a dry cloth to ensure the Arca-style grooves remain free of grit or sand, which ensures a smooth, secure lock every time.
