Quickly dismount your camera from a tripod and mount it on a DJI Ronin S-series gimbal and vice versa with this raven black 501/Arca-Type Pivot Camera Plate for Ronin Gimbals from Kondor Blue. The versatile camera plate combo features a Manfrotto-style 501 plate with a rotatable and removable Arca-type receiver that can be used together on any Ronin S-series gimbal or individually, boasting universal compatibility with standard 501 tripod heads and featuring all the anti-slip features one expects from a professional camera mounting solution.

The orientation of the Arca-type receiver rotates to parallel or perpendicular positioning to the 501 plate, making the pairing flexible for use with a wide range of camera cages with Arca-type quick release systems. A built-in 4mm Allen key provides a worry-free tightening solution for the 501/Arca-type plate, and at only 6 oz in overall weight, the unit is ideal for gimbal use and easy to store and transport in a small bag.

For Ronin Gimbals Rotatable & Removable Arca-Type Receiver Safety Release Pin Plates Also Work Individually

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the rod support included also?

A: No, rod support is defined as an optional accessory.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the plate on the Crane 3s gimbal?

A: This is a 501PL style plate. The Crane 3S uses such plates, the two products should be compatible.

Q: 3. Can this be top loaded? Or must it slide in from the end?

A: This assembly can have the plate be loaded from the top as well as slid in.

Q: 4. I want to use this to easily attach my peak design arca plate to the Benro s8 fluid head. Will that work?

A: No, the peak design ARCA SWISS plate to the Benro s8 fluid head does not work on the SmallRig Manfrotto-Style Quick Release Plate with Arca-Type Mount for DJI RS 2/RSC 2.

Q: 5. Does this plate work with the Sony a7s3 mounted in a smallrig cage and the dji rs2?

A: Yes it can.

Q: 6. It will fit arcs Swiss monoballfix fix plate?

A: The SmallRig Manfrotto-Style Quick Release Plate with Arca-Type Mount for DJI RS 2/RSC 2 should fit the Arca-Swiss C1 Cube GP Geared Tripod Head with MonoballFix plate without any problems.

Q: 7. Will this work with the small rig FX3 case BH #SM3278 MFR #3278 ?

A: There is no need for this quick release since the SmallRig Half Cage for Sony FX3 already has a Arca Swiss compatible bottom on it.

Q: 8. Is this compatible with the Manfrotto 502AH fluid head?

A: Yes, the SmallRig Manfrotto-Style Quick Release Plate with Arca-Type Mount for DJI RS Gimbals would be compatible with the Manfrotto 502AH Pro Video Head with Flat Base.

Q: 9. Would this work with a Tilta full cage on a BMPCC 6K? I need something with two mounting points because the camera jitters with the included RS2 plate.

A: no it will not. this is made specifically for certain SmallRig cages. We do not recommend this plate for Tilta products.

Q: 10. So I fitted an L-bracket to my camera and it fits nicely onto this 3061 plate. With that setup, how do we mount the DJI focus motor?

A: Yes, you can use an Arca-compatible L bracket in the SmallRig Manfrotto-Style Quick Release Plate with Arca-Type Mount for DJI RS 2/RSC 2 (B&H# SM3061), a popular way to get video in the portrait orientation (which many call vertical video). The focus motor would need to be mounted on rods that would need to be attached to a baseplate of your choosing that you'd need to add. Example of a baseplate that would work with some lenses: SmallRig Tripod Mounting Kit with 2 x Plates and 2 x 15mm Rod Clamps (B&H# SM1798) https://bhpho.to/3w252BO

[Raven Black] Small Rig never lets you down for professional grade products at affordable prices.. 5

[Raven Black] Maybe a tad pricey for what it is, but it sits well above its competition. I've had numerous 501-to-Arca adapters in my life and this is the best one I've used. Very solid and well built, the tightening knob on the Arca Swiss plate is comfortable to tighten. It's the most versatile one as well because you can rotate the Arca adapter from horizontal to vertical orientation, so it fits both L-bracket style Arca plates but also vertical Arca Swiss QR plates a lot of 15mm LWS kits are using nowadays. Don't second guess it, just get it. 5

[0.575 lb] Fits the awkward thread placement on the C70 so no twisting of the camera on the gimbal. 5

Patrick	29/06/2024
[Raven Black] The 2 screws on this mount are a great improvement from my other mount. The previous with one screw mount would eventually come lose after a long shoot causing the camera to slightly turn and give me errors on the gimbal. 5

[0.575 lb] It's definitely a must-have if you're using a bigger camera like an FX6. 5

Kevin	29/04/2024
[Raven Black] The specs show that the package is 4 long. Why I would care I don't know. The plate itself is very short, 1.95 / 50mm long. If you are planning to add a second screw and mount it in two places, you have exactly 1.37 / 35mm screw center to screw center to mount both. My smallrig universal large cage doesn't have screws that close together on the bottom. Worth measuring. 5

[Raven Black] I've been looking for a secure manfrotto baseplate that can be dropped in and this was the answer. The smallhd attempt at this has a bit of a wobble and this one is solid once locked. 5

Andy	23/04/2024
[Raven Black] Replaces the stock DJI quick release plate with one that fits my Peak Design standard plates. Typical high quality Smallrig product. 5

Jamie	19/04/2024
[Raven Black] I use this as a baseplate for my LWS 15mm rod rig, so I can still mount it on arca swiss clamps. It's great for that and very affordable. The included screwdriver coin is a bonus. 5
