Product Description

The Hejnar Photo 6.00 inch Arca‑type lens plate is engineered for photographers who need a long, stable mounting platform with integrated Quick Detach (QD) capability. The extended 6‑inch length provides additional fore‑aft adjustment range, making it suitable for larger lenses, rail systems, and applications requiring precise balance control.

Two stainless‑steel QD sockets are built directly into the plate using precision‑machined inserts. These sockets accept standard push‑button QD mounts, offering a secure and reliable connection for QD‑compatible straps. The QD system has been trusted for decades by NASA, law enforcement, and military agencies due to its resistance to accidental release and its ability to maintain a locked connection under dynamic movement. Dual sockets allow flexible strap positioning for balanced carry and field use.

A captive‑style slot provides adjustable mounting options and accommodates a wide range of screw positions. The captive screw sits approximately 0.3 inches above the plate surface; when using equipment with blind‑hole mounts, users should verify depth requirements to ensure proper fit. This slot design increases compatibility with various lens feet, camera plates, and custom mounting applications.

The double‑dovetail profile allows clamping from either the top or bottom surface, making the plate suitable for rail‑based setups, macro stages, gimbal heads, and multi‑axis support systems. Two integrated safety‑stop screws (M3) help prevent accidental slide‑out when a clamp is not fully closed, adding an additional layer of security during repositioning or transport.

Each plate is CNC‑machined from 6061‑T6 aluminum for strength and dimensional accuracy, then finished with a black anodized coating for long‑term durability. Stainless‑steel hardware ensures corrosion resistance and reliable performance in outdoor environments. Like all Hejnar Photo components, this plate is manufactured in the USA with tight tolerances and professional‑grade machining standards.
