Product Description
The 2.00 x 2.00 inch bidirectional camera plate is the ultimate foundational mount for photographers utilizing medium format and high-end DSLR systems. Unlike standard small plates that can twist or shift under heavy loads, this oversized plate provides a rock-solid, twist-free interface that matches the robust chassis of professional gear.
Designed for rapid workflow, the plate's bidirectional dovetail enables you to transition between different tripod heads or support systems without manual unscrewing. The two integrated strap loops are a critical feature for active shooters, offering a balanced way to carry heavy gear via a neck or shoulder strap—such as your preferred BlackRapid system—while the plate remains securely mounted to the camera.
Technical versatility is further enhanced by the combination of a captive-style slot and an additional 1/4-20 tapped hole. The captive slot ensures the mounting screw stays with the plate during transport, while the tapped hole serves as a convenient mounting point for external accessories or secondary support arms. Precision-crafted in the USA from solid aluminum and finished with a durable hard-coat anodize, this plate is built to handle the most demanding professional environments, ensuring your expensive gear remains securely anchored in any Arca-type quick-release system.
