Freewell FW-QR-ARCA Quick Release Plate for Camera

The Freewell Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plate (FW-QR-ARCA) is a lightweight aluminum mounting plate designed for fast attachment of cameras, camcorders and photo-video accessories to Arca-Swiss compatible tripods, straps and backpack mounts. It enables quick equipment changes without tools by providing a secure, standardized Arca-Swiss connection that fits common mounting systems.

Advantages

The plate combines aircraft-grade aluminum construction with a textured, anti-slip surface to provide reliable support while keeping weight low. Its precise Arca-Swiss dimensions ensure a stable connection that resists shifting during handheld transitions or outdoor shooting. Included with the plate is a 1/4" mounting screw for immediate use.
