Manfrotto Quick Release Plate with Special Adapter (200PL)

Get functionality and keeps my spotting scope and or my camera snug and locked in place with my tripod. There is no wiggle space and the fit is excellent. I have purchased 3 for different pieces of gear so I don’t have to change them each time I need a different gadget. Excellent product. Easy to install, strong, well made.

As a long-time Canon EOS 60D enthusiast – I've been using this DSLR for landscape photography, family portraits, and even some light video work since I got it years ago – stability is key to getting those sharp shots without frustration. When I upgraded to a Manfrotto tripod system, the 200PL RC2-System Quick Release Plate with its 1/4"-20 Screw and 3/8" Bushing Adapter became an instant essential, perfectly complementing my 60D's lightweight yet robust build.The plate attaches effortlessly to the base of my 60D via the standard 1/4"-20 screw, which tightens securely by hand thanks to the clever D-ring design – no tools needed, even in the field. The included 3/8" bushing adapter is a thoughtful touch for future-proofing, allowing compatibility with heavier accessories or pro heads if I ever add a battery grip or external mic. Made from durable aluminum with a non-slip rubber pad, it grips the camera firmly without marring the body, and at just a few ounces, it doesn't add noticeable weight to my already portable setup.In use, this plate transforms tripod swaps from a chore to a snap. It locks into my Manfrotto 190XPRO head with a solid click, providing rock-steady support during long exposures or when panning for wildlife. I've taken it on hikes where the 60D's articulating screen shines for low-angle shots, and the quick release means I can detach in seconds for handheld bursts at 5.3 fps. No wobble, no slips – even with a 70-200mm lens attached, everything stays aligned.Value-wise, it's a bargain for genuine Manfrotto quality, especially since it works across multiple heads and cameras in my kit. For Canon 60D owners looking to enhance their tripod game affordably, this plate is a game-changer. 5 stars – it's made my shoots smoother and more enjoyable!

Manfrotto makes the best tripods and attachment accessories for your camera or in my case, a spotting scope

Nice snug fit. Very secire and made well.

I've been a Manfrotto fan since the 1980s.Have one of these plates on every camera I own and now also on my cellphone grip.Never a problem putting them on the cameras and the ball-head grips. Perfect everytime.

works as expected

I buy extra plates to keep on my cameras and long lens to ensure a quick swap out on the tripod. These things just work ;-)
