Calumet Quick Release Plate
Universal Design
The Calumet Quick Release Plate is designed with maximum versatility in mind. It is fully compatible with the Arca-Swiss standard, allowing for quick mounting of your camera onto tripods and photographic heads. Additionally, due to its design, the plate can be used with Camera Clip mounts for attaching your camera to a strap or backpack, making it an ideal solution for photographers on the move.
Strap Attachment Capability
The plate is equipped with special cutouts that allow you to thread the loops from the Calumet Quick-Link Connector system, enabling you to conveniently attach the strap even from the bottom of the camera. This practical solution is particularly appreciated by users of long lenses.
Safety for Your Gear
The rubberized finish on the top of the plate prevents damage to the camera body, especially around the mounting thread.
Key Features:
- Arca-Swiss Standard – The plate is fully compatible with most Arca-Swiss heads and clamps, ensuring universal mounting on various tripods and monopods. You can confidently use it with your favorite gear wherever the common mounting standard applies.
- Compatible with Camera Clip Mounts – The design of the plate allows it to be effortlessly inserted into a Camera Clip mount attached to a strap or backpack. This keeps your camera securely attached to your belt or harness, offering instant access. The transition from the mount to the tripod (and vice versa) is smooth, without the need to change the mounting plate.
- Built-in Strap Mounting – Special cutouts in the plate allow you to thread the loops of the Calumet Quick-Link Connector system, so you can attach the strap to the bottom of the camera. This is especially useful when shooting with heavy, long lenses – it distributes the weight evenly, relieving the bayonet and increasing comfort while carrying the equipment.
- Lightweight and Durable Construction – Made from high-quality anodized aluminum alloy, the plate combines low weight with excellent durability. The precise construction ensures a secure hold on the camera: the rubberized surfaces prevent the camera from twisting on the plate, and the 1/4-inch steel mounting screw firmly secures the equipment (fits standard threads on cameras and tripod plates).
