40mm Quick Release Plate Fits Arca-Swiss Standard for Camera Tripod Ballhead

While I was at the local recycling plant yesterday, I rescued a Miranda Pro Video 1 tripod from landfill. I already had one of these tripods minus the quick release plate. After some quick measuring, I decided that the 40mm Harwerrel quick release plate was the most likely to be a fit for my old tripod. It's a good quality plate, made from machined aluminium, and fits squarely into the plate recess of the Miranda Pro Video 1 tripod's swivel head. The locking handle mechanism, however, does NOT close fully but it is tight enough to ensure that the camera remains in place. I believe that with a little filing of the beveled edge of the plate, it could be made to fit snugly. I would not chance using it with heavier/more expensive cameras until I have made it lock fully, but for now it is good enough for lighter equipment. The ¼" screw with a convenient "D" ring and the rubber pads on the top face will help prevent camera slippage. Overall, I'm very impressed. There are a lot of these Miranda Pro Video 1 tripods on [that famous online auction site] missing their quick release plates - these relatively inexpensive Harwerrel 40mm plates and a little bit of effort could make them whole again! 😊

Good Arca style plate that does what it says on the tin. Perfect and decent value.

Arrived in good time and is very sturdy. Note that this is made of metal so don't think that you can shave a bit off if it is a tight fit. I noticed a question from someone with a Miranda TP35 tripod asking if this would fit - well, yes and no. The block will slide into the hole ok, but it is just slightly too long for the retaining clip to spring up and hold it in place. It is useable, just don't carry it with the camera in it. It is NOT square, and the fact that the grooves are only on one side means that it can't be turned round and put in another way. Hope this helps.

I have owned a camera tripod for the last couple of years but never used it due to time constraints. When I tried to use just before this christmas I couldn't as the quick release plate was missing from the stand. Package Content: 1x Quick release plate I bought a quick release which did not fit, it was slightly bigger in size, I thought these were standard size but I learnt they aren't actually, it was 44mm x 44mm. So I measured the plate that I would need 40mm x 40mm. I found the quick release plate and bingo it fit perfect. Since it was the first time I was using the quick release plate I was a bit worried on carring a tripod whilst the camera is still mounted on. Initially i couldn't install it due to the srews attached underneath the quick release plate, not sure why it is for, so after removing both the screws it fit well. Installation is very simple. I have now permanently fixed and tightened the release plate on the camera so its there for me to use the tripod as and when I want it. I will attach the photos soon. I really hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click on the “YES” button to say so. If you don't think my review has been helpful, before you click on the “NO“ button to say I was unhelpful, I would love you to leave me a comment with your thoughts, so I can try improving my future reviews.

Just looks and feels like a typical cheap Chinese-made part. The fit is very loose and rattles on my Benro ball head such that it required electrical tape on either side to give it anything approaching a secure fit. Not particularly great value but probably not awful either.

I'm using this quick release plate with a Sunpak TravelLite Pro tripod. The plate came with two small allen head screws in the bottom. The screws would not allow the plate to seat properly in the tripod mount. I removed the two screws and all is good! Saves time when using one tripod with more than one camera. Excellent product and a good value.

I got this to have extra plates for my travel tripod decent quality and they fit fine on my tripod.

The two hex safety stops need to be removed but the central Vanguard safety pin correctly locates in the central D screw recess to prevent the camera sliding out should clamping screw become loose. Vanguard plate will fit in all 4 orientations making it impossible to get it wrong in a rush to take the picture. Harwerrel only fits on two faces - not a big issue. I am used to the Manfrotto quick release lever rather than the screw clamp. The screw clamp makes it a lot longer to grab the camera off your tripod to get that awkward wildlife shot but it is reassuringly secure. This removal time could be an issue depending on what you are trying to capture.

...Schnellwechselplatte, die zum bereits vorhandenen Markenstativ gehört und sehr gut funktioniert. Ich brauchte eine zweite Wechselplatte, weshalb ich diese hier von Harwerrel in der gleichen Größe ("40mm") bestellte. Versand- und Verpackungsgedöns waren OK und denkbar minimalistisch aber tauglich (Verpackg.) gehalten. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr zufriedenstellend, was Oberfläche, Maßhaltigkeit und die Schraube für die Aufnahme an der Camera angeht. Die Schraube sitzt sogar in einem Langloch, wodurch man etwas Flexibilität bei der Montage an der Camera gewinnt. Und sie ("Schraube") hat einen kräftiger und damit besser greifbaren aufklappbaren Bügel, der ja dazu dient, die Wechselplatte zu verschrauben. Alternativ kann man eine Münze zum Festdrehen verwenden. Der Bügel meiner originalen Wechselplatte ist etwas fummeliger zu greifen, da dünner. Warum dann 3 Sterne und nicht "volles Haus"? Weil die Harwerrel Platte sich leichter mobilisiert, wenn sie im Einsatz zwischen Camera und Stativ sitzt! Das heisst, die Camera drehte sich wiederholt von der Platte los. Und mit 'ner verdrehten Camera, wenn sie und Stativ einmal ausgerichtet sind, ist nunmal schlecht zu fotografieren :( Wohlgemerkt passierte mir das im Handling mit Stativaufstellen bzw. -versetzen sowie beim Arbeiten direkt an der Camera. Die Camera wirbelte zwar nicht gleich herum und drohte, unmittelbar von der Wechselplatte zu fallen. Aber ich bin einen festeren Sitz gewöhnt, wenn einmal festgeschraubt. Die Ursache liegt meines Erachtens an den Gummiauflagen der Platte. Sie sind härter, haben dadurch einen geringeren Reibbeiwert und verfügen über einen geringeren Überstand. Dadurch erreicht diese Platte nicht den spürbar höheren Kraftschluss mit der Camera, den meine originale Platte leistet. Fazit dieses Mankos: Verkraftbar, wenn man auf die Camera am Stativ achtet! Allerdings achte ich stattdessen eher auf Motiv und's Fotografieren an sich und möchte nicht von dem beschriebenen Manko abgelenkt werden.

Perfetto
