FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the PU-25 plate?

Its main advantage is enabling very fast and secure transitions between mounting and dismounting your camera from Arca-Swiss compatible tripods and heads.

Is this plate compatible with Manfrotto tripod heads?

No, the PU-25 is designed specifically for Arca-Swiss compatible systems and will not fit most Manfrotto quick-release systems, which use a different standard.

How do I clean the Leofoto PU-25?

You can clean it with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.

What is the weight of the PU-25 plate?

The Leofoto PU-25 quick release plate weighs only 12 grams.

Can I use this plate with a heavy telephoto lens?

While the plate itself is sturdy, its suitability with heavy telephoto lenses depends heavily on the weight capacity and stability of your tripod head and tripod system as a whole. It is best suited for lighter to moderately weighted camera and lens combinations.

What are the dimensions of the plate?

The plate measures 38mm in length and 25mm in width.

Troubleshooting

Camera wobbles or feels insecure on the tripod.

Ensure the quick-release plate is fully seated and locked in your tripod head's clamp. Double-check that the camera mounting screw on the plate is tightened securely into the camera's tripod socket.

Plate does not fit into the tripod head clamp.

Verify that your tripod head clamp is indeed Arca-Swiss compatible. The PU-25 is specifically designed for this standard and will not fit other quick-release systems.

Difficulty in releasing the plate from the tripod head.

Ensure you are correctly operating the release mechanism of your specific tripod head. Sometimes, slight pressure on the camera while releasing can help disengage the lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Leofoto PU-25, first attach the plate to the base of your camera using the threaded mounting screw. Ensure it is tightened securely. Then, slide the plate into your Arca-Swiss compatible tripod head's quick-release clamp until it locks into place. To release, engage the clamp's lever or button as per your tripod head's design.

Compatibility: This plate is designed exclusively for Arca-Swiss compatible tripod heads and clamps. Ensure your existing tripod head uses the Arca-Swiss mounting standard for proper fit and function.

Care: To maintain the PU-25, wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the aluminum finish. Store in a dry place when not in use.
