Product Description
This 5.00-inch lens plate is engineered to solve the balance and carrying challenges of professional wildlife and sports photography. The extended length offers significant fore-aft travel within a quick-release clamp, ensuring that heavy lens setups remain perfectly balanced on tripods or gimbal heads.
The core of this plate's innovation is its multi-mount carrying system. It features two integrated stainless-steel QD sockets, a system trusted for decades by military and law enforcement for its anti-accidental-release design. Additionally, the inclusion of two strap loops makes this plate uniquely versatile, serving as a perfect mounting base for photographers using Peak Design anchors or standard sling straps.
The double-dovetail profile provides incredible modularity, enabling you to build complex rigs by stacking clamps or accessories on either side of the rail. Each plate features a captive-style slot for adjustable positioning, ensuring the mounting hardware stays with the plate. Precision-crafted in the USA from solid aluminum and finished with a durable hard-coat anodize, this plate delivers the technical excellence and lifelong structural integrity your gear deserves.
