Product Description
The 2.00 inch bidirectional camera plate is engineered for photographers who require more mounting flexibility than standard plates provide. Its 1.50" x 2.00" footprint is specifically designed to handle the substantial weight of professional gear, providing a rock-solid, twist-free interface for your entire support kit.
Designed for rapid workflow, this plate allows you to transition between different tripod heads or support systems without manual unscrewing. The captive-style slot ensures the mounting screw stays with the plate during transport, while the integrated 1/4-20 tapped hole serves as a convenient mounting point for extra equipment. The plate is equipped with a standard 1/4-20 screw that sits approximately 0.3 inches above the surface; if using equipment with blind-hole mounts, a shorter 0.4-inch screw can be provided upon request to ensure a flush fit.
Like all precision components from this line, the plate is crafted in the USA from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a durable hard-coat anodize. This ensures your gear remains securely anchored even under the most demanding outdoor conditions. Whether you are building a modular macro rail system or balancing a long telephoto lens, this bidirectional plate delivers the reliability and technical precision your photography deserves.
