The MAC-14 Quick Release Clamp from Sunwayfoto is a CNC machined aluminum clamp that is compatible with both Arca-type plates, and Manfrotto 200PL plates. A built-in bull's-eye bubble level helps to level your camera to the horizon, and a locking knob opens and closes the clamp to adjust or remove the plate.

A numbered scale on the clamp allows for precision positioning of Arca-type plates. Two safety stop grooves allow the use of plates with safety screws, to prevent the plates from accidentally sliding out of the clamp. It has a 3/8"-16 threaded hole to mount the clamp onto a tripod or ball head, and also comes with a 1/4"-20 bushing adapter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the max load on this clamp? Cannot find it even in Sunwayfoto's site

A: I do not have definitive or spec-based answer, but based on my experience I could clamp heavy weight set, D850 + battery grip + Nikon 70-200 f2.8 / Tamron 15-30 f2.8, about 3 - 3.5kg, with manfrotto tripod. No problem to transfer on my shoulder. However I never trust any type of gear when the transfer so I use neckstrap with my arm all the time so I can catch if my gear drops. I hope this might be a help.

Q: 2. I want to put the clamp on a Sirui SUP204SR monopod and be able to use it for a lens foot equipped with a Wimberley Arca plate (the P20). Camera and lens are over 11 lbs. Is this feasible?

A: I'm not familiar with your Wimberly plate, but if it is Arca then it will fit in this clamp. Like Gerald F., I have found it to be a very solid and secure clamp. I use mine with a Canon 5DMk3 & Canon 100-400mm zoom on a tripod.

Q: 3. I have a Manfrotto 3130 tripod will this work on that?

A: The Manfrotto 3130 head does not have a removable quick release, therefore this clamp cannot work on it.

Q: 4. Will this mount to a Sachtler Sideload Plate S/Ace Tripod QR Plate (BH #SAWPDV1)? If so, does the retaining pin engage underneath the Sunwayfoto MAC-14 to prevent rotation?

A: Yes. This can be attached to that plate. It has a 3/8"-16 threaded hole with a 1/4"-20 bushing adapter to thread onto the plate. The Register Pin on the Sachtler would reduce rotation.

Q: 5. Does it come with the adapter plate needed for a 496rc2 head? If not what would be needed to mount it on the 496rc2?

A: If mounting this clamp in place of the RC2 clamp on the 496RC2, you may use the Oben QR-20 Quick Release Plate, BH # OBQR20. https://bhpho.to/3jW2Uoa

Q: 6. Will it work on a Manfrotto MHXPro-BHQ2?

A: Yes you can either use it screwed to the Manfrotto base plate, or remove the Manfrotto quick release mount and screw this on in its place.

Q: 7. Which of Manfrotto's many Quick Release systems does this support? RC2, RC4 etc. I want something that will allow me to use my Arca Swiss-style camera and lens plates with a Manfrotto pan & tilt, or gear heads. Is this it?

A: No, Manfrotto doesn't have arca swiss-style quick release plates. You will have to buy an adapter

Q: 8. I have a 3265 Manfrotto ballhead and want to convert into arca swiss system, what do I need? Will Sunwayfoto Arca & Manfrotto Compatible Clamp fit? Thank you

A: You can screw your existing plate to the bottom of this clamp and then you can use it. Keep in mind having a qr stacked upon qr might reduce stability.

Q: 9. Will this work in combination with a Manfrotto 498RC2 and a Three Legged Thing L Bracket?

A: Yes, this clamp can replace the clamp on the 498RC2 to accept a 3 Legged Thing L-Bracket.

Q: 10. is it compatible with Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ2?

A: The Sunwayfoto Arca & Manfrotto Compatible Clamp can be attached to the Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head's QR plate with the 1/4"-20 Bushing Adapter included with the clamp.
