Great Video!! I just got my first Manfrotto head and thought viewers who historically use Manfrotto plates might like to know this:

The NEW Manfrotto plates have all the features of the Arca Swiss shown - top load, slide but can't slide out, etc AND they sit flat on a table top!! Better yet, the plates will take your old Manfrotto 501/701 plates (although I believe these do not have stops and could slide out if you don't tighten the thumb screw). Only drawback is they are still wider than the Arca Swiss.

Just FYI about the new Manfrotto stuff in case some viewers want to keep there old Manfrotto plates while having all the benefits of the Arca Swiss!

Bill on the Hill

Far and away that small SunwayFoto was the best of the bunch in this very well presented tutorial. It had ALL the safety features required in the QR clamp assy except for an indent to prevent a plate from sliding out ( not all plates have the stops at each end ). The locking lever tab within the lever is a excellent design function as well as the adj. knob on the opposite side to snug up an odd width plate before locking down with the lever. I believe the other two clamps in this demo did not have these features, which in reality makes them useless in that when crossing a brook or stream or worse still, the ocean, ones' expensive camera gear cannot take a Swan Dive into oblivion...

This year I went the opposite direction and started using the Manfrotto 323 quick change plate system. I find it is much faster to go from a tripod to a slider to whatever than using a Arca Swiss style plate. https://youtu.be/A0yvhVHRaQ8

The issue I have with the Arca Swiss is repeatable settings. With the 323, every time you lock the camera in place it is in the same position as last time you locked it in place. With Arca Swiss the camera's position almost always moves as you slide the plate back and forth.

Manos Seferidis

6y↑1

Don't you find the Manfrotto RC2 much faster compared to this? I have to jump into either RC2 or Arca but my main concern is speed, since I use many small tripods at night time on the go so actual quick release is important without much fiddling.

Diversity for Israel

7y↑1

It was nice to show and compare different receiving plates, and also to put their references in the video description. Thanks !

Cheese on Everything

5y↑3

I honestly think that the Manfrotto RC2 plates way faster to use than these arca swiss plates. The RC2 plates just lock on contact once you pop it in, and peak design also has the dual plate which now works with most Manfrotto heads. The fact that the plate still slides back and forth without locking it at a certain spot every time makes it useless on gimbals because that'll require you to re-balance it.

MusikPiratCH

Not necessarily! Take a look at Novoflex Q-Mount II where you can clip and lock Arca-Swiss plates as easy as the RC2! However the Arca-Swiss system is far more used all over the tripod manufacturers! ;)

LarryGrayPhotography

Neat push lock on the SunwayFoto system, but far more important when shopping is the location of the balance bubble. On the SunwayFoto, when you attach the camera, it covers the bubble. Contrast that with the Desmond with the bubble on one side and the clamp on the opposite. While it may not be quite as intuitive, when you attach the camera, the clamp (or screw tightner) needs to be under the lens so the bubble sticks out under your LCD screen on the camera. Most current SunwayFoto's have the have the bubble on the opposite end, but a few, like the one in this video, have it in the trackway to be covered by the camera when attached.

I'm currently using Manfrotto qr plates and though about giving the Arca-Swiss plates a try. Thanks for the side by side comparison, greatly appreciated.

Brett Westgrove Music

+Ron De Torres Just FYI - I'm newer to the game so I started with the newer Manfrotto stuff. I'm using a Manfrotto MV500AH head and the new plates have all the same features as the Arca Swiss shown (sans being skinny) plus they sit flat unlike the Arca Swiss. AND they take the old Manfrotto 501/701 style plates (although I don't think the old plates catch and could slide out if you don't tighten the thumb screw).

Used them since i photographing, L Plates are on every camera at home. For special needs, hejnar photo offers great solutions for manfrotto conversions, special plates and more ! Some Movcam Sony/Panasonic cages are also arca compatible.

A lot of my pro photog friends went to Arca Swiss ages ago. I’m finally making the move. I’ve been a Manfrotto user since I got my first tripod.

Zachary JM Cross

I've been trying to figure out how I can get to just using Arca swiss, since I do both video and stills work. (I sometimes use a peak design strap, which uses a small Arca swiss plate) The main issue I've had is finding a good stand-alone plate, to mount to things like a rig, or a Davis & Sanford head. So I really appreciate the links and subsequent reviews provided! Also I think you missed some cuts near the end: 9:55

I honestly prefer the 200PL plates from Manfrotto. I can pop them in with just one hand and its already locked tight. You don't have that with the Arca Swiss plates

Pig Mint Film

Hi Caleb, Just checking, do these plate adaptors have anything protruding underneath that would prevent them mounting flat onto existing 501PL plates and heads?

very good info.
is there a cheaper lighter-duty alternative to the "snap in" of the Kessler Cranes Kwik?
Cullmann has snap-in&lever style products, but they are not arca swiss compatible sadly.

This quick release plate is convenient! The camera is attached to the tripod quickly and is very good! I also have four because it is convenient. The video was very interesting! I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)

Brilliant review! This is the best video I've seen comparing the two. Thank you!

David Stanton

Here's an update to comments I made earlier. The SunwayFoto receiver is no longer sold through B&H. You have to go to Amazon. However, Amazon doesn't actually sell it either but they will connect you to another site that does...Asahido Japan. That added about a week to delivery even though we have Amazon Prime. The price was $98.91 per received. The Arca Swiss quick release plates do work with the SunwayFoto receiver, HOWEVER, the plates do NOT work with the Kessler receiver. It will not tighten on the plate so, it continues to slide back-and-forth. Kessler told me this is because Arca Swiss changed the "lip" on the bottom of the plate. So, we had to purchase Kessler plates. This is no big deal for us as we are using these plates and receivers for different cameras and set-ups. We don't have our Kessler plates yet so I can't say if they will work with the SunwayFoto receiver. I'm guessing it will because of the adjustability of the receiver. We see. I'll let y'all know. I can say I like the adjustability of the SunwayFoto receiver. Thank you Caleb for the info.

DaBadNewz

I'm really glad you uploaded with an editing mistake and I got to see...drives home the idea that done is better than perfect and motivates me to just get stuff out there! Thanks a bunch for this one!!

Thanks for the video. How do you mount these clamps to your existing manfrotto fluid heads?

LarryGrayPhotography

5y↑1

At 8:18 he demonstrated it for the larger plate, attaching the Manfrotto to the acra swiss plate, then the Manfrotto side fits into the Manfrotto head on the tripod. Leave it there permanently. Then the camera with the plate attached slides into the Arca Swiss on the tripod. If you have the smaller Manfrotto RC2 head, just attach the 200PL plate to the bottom of the Desmond or SunwayFoto size. Saved me a bundle of money not having to buy new heads, and of course I already had the 200PL part of the RC2 system.

Zee Hatley

6y↑2

If you haven't figured it out, mount these clips to the plate, then just never remove the plate from the head, just remove the Arca plate. (it's a plate release mounted on a plate, essentially)

Nicholas Travers

Greetings, question on where to buy more plates. Has anyone else experienced problems with some of the plates not fitting in the heads/release? I have a PHQ1 and the plate seems just a bit too thin on the bottom to properly clamp in. These are some of the cheap plates from china (ebay) I admit. but perhaps someone knows a seller that makes em right?

Dazdigo

The cages sometimes have arca swiss groove on the bottom of them. I know my Smallrigs cage does.

My patience with manfrotto plates is wearing thin so I think I'm going to make the switch to arca swiss too.

Ryan Timms

Caleb, are you still using the arca swiss plates? I am considering making the switch as some of the manfrotto plates are rubbing the lenses on my smaller cameras. Is there maybe a riser I could use or am do you still recommend moving to this system?

RedStarSteve

9y↑2

How do you switch the quick releases on your tripod/monopods? Are you just mounting the Arca Swiss receiving plates directly on whatever head came with the tripod (thereby adding to the height of the set-up)? Or are you removing something and then replacing it with the receiving plate?

Thanks for the video, Caleb.

Will you recommend a ball head for my tripod (velbon videomate II). To shoot posed images of one to several contestants indoors. My main concern is moving from Portrait to Landscape quickly, keeping cam level. All other options are relatively unimportant. The ball head will remain on this tripod specifically for this use. I use a d7200 with 24-70mm lens so total weight about 4 lbs. Thank you.

Hey Caleb ,
I really need your help. I’m building a rig ( based off your videos) customized for shooting cinematic videos with a Canon 80D.
I’m using a “Smallrig” camera cage. Now I would like to be able to connect my rig to a tripod, without removing my camera from its cage. I’m having trouble figuring out what dual rail system I can buy to connect to a tripod ? I’m sorry if I’m not using the correct verbiage or technical terminology

Geeks Feeling Good

I think they do, but can you confirm that the Kessler Cranes Kwik quick release works well with Wooden Camera cages and a full bulldog rig? I had an issue where I had to return a tripod head due to quick release plate incompatibility. I didn't know there were all these different standards.

Paolo Pino

i'm a bit confused because I'm on the market to buy a bunch of "things" for my camera(s) and want to be as hasslefree as possible. I do mostly street/urban/rural photography, but I'm also interested in shooting indoor (to do reviews/demo) and also a little bit outdoor. I bought a benro tripod with tiltable center arm and a slide lite by peak design that comes with an arca swiss standard plate. I now have to buy a video fluid head (I already have a cheap ball head that has a screw knob that I use on my gorillapod, but it's a bit annoying have to screw back and forth), but I don't know what to search for, nor have an idea of how I can mix things up (maybe putting a plate on another plate or... @_@). can you suggest me a way of having to deal only with that standard plate fixed on the bottom of the camera and can switch back and forth between photo and video head... also, if you can suggest me a budget fluid video head that do it's job without breaking the bank, it's really appreciated. Keep doing good videos, I'm subscribed!

DSLR Video Shooter

Hey Paolo! I would be an Arca Swiss clamp (like this one: http://amzn.to/2f3WIax) between the tripod sticks and the tripod heads. Next, add one of these plates: http://amzn.to/2fZdQQV to the bottom of each tripod head. Now you can quacking swap out video and photo heads instantly!

Yea, but if you have something like a Miller tripod/head you are stuck with their plates, which are really expensive. Arca plates don't fit into the Miller groove. Dang!

I’m an almost newbie, so I know a small amount, but most of it is still bitty and unconnected. I also don’t know all the jargon. I recently got a Tamron 150-600 G2 which came complete “with an Arca Swiss” which I’m told is a good thing. So I come here to hear more. But I’m now five minutes in and I still haven’t heard an answer to the most fundamental question: WHAT THE FECK IS AN ARCA SWISS!!!!? I mean “plates”, “locking”...WHAT!? Is the plate bone connected to the tripod bone? Is the trigger bone connected to the cage bone? What, what, WHAT!?

Jim Titheridge

Arca Swiss is a system comprising of a plate or in your case a foot that fits into a head, so if you want to use your lens on a tripod, get a head that is Arca Swiss and then you won't need to either screw your lens down or fit another plate to your foot, the two main designs are the Arca Swiss and Manfrotto's RC2 system, there are a few others, but these are the most common. If ever you intend getting an L Bracket they are like your lens foot and Arca Swiss compatible. I hope that helps

Guys, can anybody help me? I have arca - compatible system on my gitzo head but my DSLR always keep rotating on QR plate when shooting vertincal. I tryed to screw it really hard but it didnt help. Any tips how to prevent it or which QR plate to buy? I have D7100

DSLR Video Shooter

First, try tightening the plate using this trick:
http://dslrvideoshooter.com/how-to-use-a-quick-release-plate-without-tools/
Next, if that doesn't work try adding some electrical tape to either side of the 1/4" bolt that attaches to your camera You might need a few layers. Also, the 1/4" bolt you're using might be too long and isn't tightening the plate to the camera enough.

Pollux Chung

I moved to Arca Swiss because of the quick release plate my gimbal uses is Arca Swiss compatible. I want to have an unified system so that I can move camera quickly between tripod and gimbal.

Gotta tell ya once I started using it I am not looking back. I am putting all my Manfrotto mounts and plates on Craigslist soon.
