NICEYRIG Universal Arca Quick Release Clamp for Gimbal 🎥

This compact Arca-style quick release clamp converts many handheld gimbals into tripod-compatible units and speeds up camera transfers between stabiliser and Arca-type tripods. It suits users who need to switch quickly from handheld shooting to a tripod head, and it supports both vertical and horizontal mounting for flexible framing. 😊

Key Points

The clamp attaches to the stabiliser top plate and holds the camera plate using two 1/4’’-20 screws, making it straightforward to secure mirrorless cameras and light DSLRs. It includes degree markings so you can record and return to a preferred rotational position, which helps when repeating shots or maintaining consistent framing across takes. The unit adjusts and locks via an easy-turn M5 knob screw for quick setup and fine tightening, and the design provides multiple thread holes for accessories and extension arms. ⚙️

This version does not replace the stabiliser’s original quick release plate. Consider that the model 384 mounts on top of the stabiliser quick release plate rather than sliding into a dovetail groove, while a different NICEYRIG model may fit dovetail grooves directly, according to the manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations

For repeated position work use the degree markings to note the rotation for matched shots. When attaching accessories use the side and bottom threaded holes to build small rigs or to add a monitor arm. Because the clamp mounts on top of an existing quick release plate you should verify compatibility with your stabiliser pattern if you require dovetail engagement, as some setups need a different NICEYRIG model for direct dovetail mounting. 🎥

If you often switch between tripod and gimbal take care to tighten the M5 knob securely each time to avoid accidental rotation, particularly with heavier lenses or accessories installed. The clamp works best with compact mirrorless setups and lighter DSLR rigs where the two 1/4’’-20 screws are sufficient to secure the plate.
