Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plates for Cameras & Lenses

QUICK RELEASE PLATES

Quick release plates for photography, video, and other quick release mounts.

HEADWEAR

A quick-release plate is only as good as the tolerances it's made to. 3 Legged Thing release plates are precision-milled to fit snugly in any Arca-Swiss clamp — no wobble, no slop, no movement that shouldn't be there. The Ultra Plates range adds multi-function mounting for cameras, lenses and accessories on the same plate.

Available in multiple configurations for different camera body sizes, lens collars and accessory mounting requirements. All are Arca-Swiss compatible as standard.
