Description of SMALLRIG Counterweight Mounting Dovetail Plate

【HIGH CUSTOMIZATION】The counterweight mounting plate for Manfrotto style is designed for DJI Ronin S to replace the original dovetail plate that comes with the gimbal. 【MAIN APLLICATION】Counterbalance the front-heavy loads when you attach a larger camera or longer lenses via adding SMALLRIG Counterweight 2284 (100g) and SMALLRIG Counterweight 2285(200g) at the rear onto the 1/4’’ threaded holes (Please note that the counterweights are not included in the package). 【SCRATCH-RESISTANCE】Comes with rubber cushions on the contact surface of the plate to prevent your camera from scratching. 【LENS SUPPORT ACCESS】Features a 1/4”-20 threaded hole on the front to fits the original lens support comes with the gimbal. 【PRECISE SCALE】Features precise scale on the side of the mounting plate to achieve rapid setup and memory positioning.

Will not fit Ronin S

This plate will NOT fit Ronin S as advertised. The plate is slightly wider than the Ronin S receiver. I had to go back.

Pros
  • PRECISE SCALE
Cons
  • Not bad

Pros
  • SCRATCH RESISTANCE
Cons
  • Some cons

Needs a small mod to allow full range of glide/adjustment on tripod

It wasn't difficult to make and I know it's meant to be used with Ronins, which I believe should be removed through the tabs I removed to capture the plate, so I can't give points for that pull it off. Just an FYI for those looking to use this to switch between a…

Pros
  • MAIN USE
Cons
  • High price
