Product Description
The Hejnar Photo D500 camera plate is an essential professional upgrade for photographers looking to maximize the stability and security of their Nikon D500 setup. This plate seamlessly integrates an Arca-Swiss compatible dovetail, allowing you to slide the camera directly into gimbal heads, ball heads, and tripod clamps without adding the bulk of generic, ill-fitting plates.
Safety and stability are paramount in this design. Unlike generic plates, this custom-fit solution matches the D500's shape perfectly, ensuring it won't twist or shift even when using heavy telephoto glass. All corners and edges are precision-rounded to prevent accidental damage to other equipment or injury during handling.
A standout feature available in the D500QD model is the integrated stainless steel Quick Detach (QD) socket. This military-grade system is trusted by NASA and law enforcement for its extreme reliability. It allows you to instantly attach or remove your favorite push-button sling-style strap, such as a Black Rapid, providing a secure and balanced carry in the field while allowing for rapid transitions to a tripod mount.

The plate measures approximately 3.125 inches long by 1.88 inches wide. It features a black hard-coat anodized surface for superior scratch resistance and long-term durability in professional environments.
