Product Description
The Hejnar Photo 3.25-inch lens plate is an original design created for photographers who need a reliable, extended Arca-Swiss mounting surface without the constraints of a fixed anti-twist ridge. Its flat-top design makes it an exceptionally versatile choice for larger lens collars, telephoto zooms, and camera bodies where a ridge might interfere with the mounting footprint.
The plate features a captive-style slot that provides significant travel, allowing you to fine-tune the balance of your equipment on a tripod head or gimbal. Additionally, the integrated 1/4-20 tapped hole serves as a convenient mounting point for accessories like flashes, microphones, or secondary support arms directly on the plate.
Safety and stability are central to the design. The double-dovetail profile provides a secondary clamping surface on the top side of the rail, perfect for specialized rigs or flash brackets. The plate is equipped with two M3 safety stop screws to prevent your gear from accidentally sliding out of a loosened clamp. Precision-machined in the USA from solid aircraft-grade aluminum, this 3.25-inch rail is built for a lifetime of professional performance.
