Its primary innovation is the dual-sided dovetail, which allows you to mount the plate into a base clamp while simultaneously providing a secure receiver on top for secondary accessories like flashes, microphones, or additional clamps. \n\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e \n    The \u003cstrong\u003eparallel mounting slot\u003c\/strong\u003e is a critical feature for technical workflows. Unlike perpendicular slots used for side-to-side shifting, this parallel orientation allows the camera or lens to be moved forward and backward along the rail's axis. This is essential for finding the perfect center of gravity on tripod heads or gimbal systems, especially when using heavy telephoto glass or deep-bodied camera systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e \n    Crafted in the USA from high-strength aluminum, this plate is built to handle the rigors of professional field use. The captive-style screw sits approximately 0.3 inches above the plate surface; for equipment with blind-hole mounts, please verify depth requirements as shorter screws may be needed for a flush fit. With its rugged hard-coat anodized finish and stainless steel hardware, this plate delivers the technical precision and lifelong stability your photography deserves.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hejnar Photo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67701592621161,"sku":"D005","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1278\/9353\/files\/D005-2.jpg?v=1792110740","url":"https:\/\/www.hejnarphotostore.com\/products\/2-inch-double-dovetail-arca-swiss-plate-parallel-s","provider":"Hejnar Photo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
