Description:
This clamp adapter converts an Arca‑Swiss quick release plate to fit Manfrotto‑style dovetail tripods and select stabilisers, allowing faster transitions between tripod and gimbal setups for photography and video work. It is a compact aluminium alloy accessory designed to shave weight while keeping a secure locking action when mounting cameras on stabilisers such as DJI Ronin series and some Zhiyun models.
Key Points
The adapter provides a simple mechanical bridge between two common quick release standards, so you can attach an Arca‑Swiss plate to a Manfrotto dovetail without changing plates on your camera. Its side knobs lock into the dovetail groove for straightforward operation, and the milled body reduces mass while maintaining strength. Compatibility includes DJI Ronin RS3 Pro, RS3 SC, RS2, RSC2, RONIN S and Zhiyun Weebill and Weebill S according to the product listing, which makes it useful when switching between handheld stabiliser work and tripod shooting. ⚙️
Benefits
Using a single plate across tripod and gimbal saves set up time and reduces the chance of misalignment. The hollowed sections cut down on bulk and make the accessory easier to carry in a camera bag. It keeps the camera locked firmly during movement and transport, while the simple mechanical design avoids the need for tools in most situations. Do consider that extremely heavy or unusually balanced camera rigs might still need a manufacturer specific plate or counterweight adjustments, according to the manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations
Attach the adapter to your Arca‑Swiss plate and then slide it into the Manfrotto dovetail until the side knobs engage and lock. For faster swaps, keep the plate on the camera and move the adapter between tripod and gimbal as needed. When working outdoors or in rough conditions, periodically check tightness of the knobs to ensure a secure fit after heavy movement or transport. 🎒 Also, if your setup uses additional L‑brackets or third‑party plates with non‑standard dimensions, verify clearance before use to avoid unwanted contact with the stabiliser body. 📷
