This black, ProMediaGear 3.0" Arca-Type Quick Release Platefrom ProMediaGear 3.0" Arca-Type Quick Release Plateprovides the ability to adapt a camera, lens, sport optic, or an accessory to an Arca-type compatible quick release clamp.

Cameras, lenses, sport optics, or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the plate, which measures 3.0" long. The plate's 1/4"-20 mount can be placed at any one of two slots along its surface to help ensure that both the plate and the mount are arranged in a manner that does not obstruct battery doors or access ports.

While in use, two rubberized, anti-slip strips along the plate's top surface help prevent unwanted rotation of a connected device. For direct attachment to accessories such as a tripod or straps that feature 1/4"-20 mounts, the underside of the plate is tapped with three 1/4"-20 female accessory threads.

The underside also features dual retaining screws to prevent the plate from accidentally sliding off when the clamp it is placed on is opened. Two integrated loops, one on either side of the plate, provide an additional option that is both convenient and reliable, for attaching a strap.

Constructed from aluminum alloy, this Universal 3.0" Arca-Type Quick Release Plate is durable while remaining lightweight.

Q: 1. This plate can hold a Manfrotto 200PL Quick Release Plate (instead of a arca-type)?

A: No, it only accepts an arca type plate.

Q: 2. Would this plate work on a Sachtler FSB8 head? Want to adapt to a Nikon DSLR with an L-bracket.

A: Hi!The fitting is the same, but the PM501 is shorter as Tony P said. I tested it on my Sachtler Ace and I could fasten it ... But I do not think I would dare to put a camera on it. There are other ways. Use the FSB8 plate and put another arca swiss compatible plate on that one ... /Jonas

Q: 4. Will this work with a Gitzo G2272M head to Arca Swiss L Bracket on a Nikon D850?

A: No, the gitzo quick release receiver is incompatible with the manfrotto 501 series plates that ProMedia uses on this adapter. You could consider attaching an adapter like Kirk QRC-2.6 Arca-Type Quick Release Clamp to your Gitzo quick release plate by way of the 1/4" thread you would normally attach to your camera. You'll also need a 1/4" to 3/8" Tripod Adapter/Bushing. This is not an ideal solution because you can still get loosening and twist where the Gitzo plate attaches to the Kirk adapter. If you need a 3 way pan and tilt head that's Arca compatible consider Induro PHQ1 and PHQ3 heads.

Q: 5. This plate can hold a Manfrotto 200PL (instead of an arca type)?

A: Technically, no. It is meant to hold an arca-swiss plate.However, you might be able to use a dual-style plate like the Peak Design Arca/200PL dual plate (https://bhpho.to/3kBB3ZA) which claims to work in both arca-swiss and Manfrotto RC2.

Q: 6. Does it fits Canon 77D?

Q: 9. Is 3inch including strap loops? Does it not block battery door of D750?

A: The 3 inch dimension of the PX3 does not include the strap loops. And the current version has fixed strap loops, and not the removable loops as shown in the picture. This prevented me from opening the battery door on my Rebels. I'm not sure about the D750.I ended up getting the DTB-60, which has multiple screw slots that allow much more flexibility with positioning. I used them on 2 Rebels during a trip to Italy, and they worked great. The rubber padding keeps the plate from twisting, and the strap loops allow me to mount a hand strap on the right, and a neck strap on the left. I have since ordered more of these plates for my other cameras.The DTB-60 is also half the price of the PX3.

Q: 10. Did anyone try this with Manfrotto MV500AH Video head? Will it work?
