11mm Spacer Block

This precision-machined 11mm spacer block is a specialized riser designed to elevate an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp above a rail. By providing this critical added height, the spacer ensures that your support equipment does not interfere with your camera's field of view, particularly when utilizing short focal length lenses.

Quick Overview & Key Features

• Clear Field of View: Effectively raises any clamp by 11mm, preventing the end of a long nodal rail from becoming visible in the viewfinder when a wide-angle or short lens is used.
• Precision Anti-Twist Design: Features two dowel pin holes for use with metal dowel pins, ensuring a rock-solid, twist-free connection between the clamp and the rail.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for seamless use with various rails—including models E033, E034, E038, and E039—and compatible with clamps from major manufacturers such as RRS, Kirk, and Wimberley.
• Professional Safety Engineering: All corners and edges are fully radiused and rounded to prevent accidental damage to your gear or hands.
• Premium Construction: Precision CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum rigidity and lifelong durability.
• Durable Finish: Features a black hard-coat anodized surface for superior scratch and corrosion protection.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured to professional tolerances for unyielding reliability.

Essential Riser Solution for Rail Systems

The 11mm spacer block is a highly effective "problem-solver" for photographers who frequently alternate between short and long focal length lenses on the same rail system. While the spacer itself is not an Arca-Swiss component, it acts as a critical interface that lifts the clamp just enough to clear the equipment's physical profile, ensuring a clean, unobstructed composition.

Technical Integrity and Stability: Built for the rigors of professional field use, the integrated dowel pin holes provide a vital registration point that prevents the clamp from rotating under the weight of heavy camera bodies. Recent configurations also make this an ideal spacer for use with Metabones adapters and L-brackets where additional height is required for proper clearance on tripod heads.
