NICEYRIG Arca Quick Release Plate 1/4" 📷
Description:
This compact Arca-type quick release plate makes mounting and swapping cameras on gimbals and tripod heads faster, especially when working with stabilisers. An Arca type quick release plate for DJI Ronin RS3 fits the RS3, RS3 Pro and RS2 workflows while keeping setups slim and light for run-and-gun shooting.
Key Points
This plate is shaped to the Arca standard so it slides into most compatible heads and clamps without fiddly adjustment. The rounded chamfered edges reduce the risk of catching on camera cages and allow smoother insertion and removal. It includes threaded holes at both ends, which gives flexibility when attaching cameras or accessories in different orientations.
The design emphasises portability, making it easy to carry multiple plates for a multi-camera shoot. A rubberised non-slip and anti-scratch gasket helps protect camera bases and improves grip, but consider that very heavy camera rigs may require a larger, dedicated plate for extra stability. 📷

Usage Recommendations
Attach the plate to your camera body with the central 1/4-20 screw and check the orientation before sliding into the clamp. When using mirrorless or compact DSLRs, the plate sits close to the camera base and allows quick transitions between tripod, gimbal and handheld rigs. For heavier cinema cameras or when long lenses are in use, pair this plate with a clamp rated for the combined load to avoid accidental release.
Small practices improve reliability during shoots. Tighten the 1/4-20 screw securely, and verify the gasket seating to prevent micro-movements. If you use L-brackets or third-party baseplates, align screw positions carefully to keep balance centred and reduce strain on the quick release mechanism. ⚙️
Advantages
The plate’s lightweight construction reduces added mass to your setup, which can extend gimbal battery life and make handheld work less tiring. It is a practical spare component to keep in a kit bag for rapid camera swaps between stabiliser and tripod heads. According to the manufacturer, it fits RS-series stabilisers and standard Arca clamps, offering a versatile and economical option for photographers and videographers looking to streamline their workflow.
