great for the price

Perfect for my Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6. With an extra screw I added a nylon nut to be 100% sure that the lens doesn't rotate as the anodized aluminum plate has no grip pads. Overall excellent for the price.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Very expensive

Okay but two screws are in the way

Maybe due to my own ignorance I found that I couldn't mount my long lens camera on this QR plate because the "second screw" " bothered with properly aligning the lens/camera combination with the plate i cut off one of the two screws and then the plate should work the way i want it to.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Secret

Awarded Sigma 150-600 C

With two small "edges" on the back, it's stable now. There is no more rotation. I mostly made up for it with the length. Very happy with them. I use it on the Nodal Ninja M2 Giga panoramic head, hence the side mount. On the other hand, one of the Nodal Ninja ARCA clips is installed just in case.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Frequency

solid plate. for camera mounts and clamps

This plate is great for securely attaching a Sigma 50-500 lens and my E-5 Olympus DSLR to my stabilizer. This allows long settings for super-telephoto lenses. It's very well made and I'm not worried at all about mounting my gear on this mount. For the money you can't go wrong as long as you have a quality tripod to support your gear.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Purchased to work with a Sigma 50-500mm lens. This lens foot has only 1 hole to attach the foot to the lens plate, this plate gives you 2 screws to attach. When I push the lens plate towards the front of the lens, the flange on the lens shaft doesn't match the curvature of the front of the lens. The plate is too long with many overhanging inscriptions. I think a 115mm platter would work better. Rotate the plate and press the lens plate against the straight back of the lens shaft and tighten the

Pros
  • Camera and Photo
Cons
  • Angry

Works great with RRS QR.

I would skip reviewing this type of product but as I read some reviews (other sizes) that are wrong I had to write this and help others not to be misled. I need inserts for a specific application and these (100mm and 150mm) looked perfect but I didn't want to take them as some people wrote that they were too small to work with the RRS QR. I have 2 BH-55 LR ball heads and an RRS PG-02 full gimbal pano head and they all worked great with this plate as they really are exactly the same as the $80…

Pros
  • Camera mounts and clamps
Cons
  • No power

Available Arca Swiss Lens Plate for 70-200mm lens

I bought this lens plate to fit my standard Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VRII lens sleeve. It's a little long but serves the purpose. The build quality is good and it fits my Arca Swiss Z1 ball head with no problems. The reason I bought this particular model is because I originally bought a 5.5" 140mm Desmond 140 QR lens plate and it didn't fit. I wanted both screws to go into the standard lens barrel for stability, and the 140 QR screws didn't reach the holes in the barrel. . It seems that both can…
