The Hejnar Photo M324RC2 Adapter Plate is a precision-engineered solution designed to bring universal Arca-Swiss compatibility to your favorite Manfrotto joystick heads.

CNC-machined in the USA from solid 6061-T6 aluminum, it provides an unyielding interface that eliminates the "play" often found in stock quick-release systems.
