Arca-Swiss Clamps & Plates for a Faster, More Secure Setup

Arca-Swiss is the industry-standard mounting system used across nearly every major tripod head, ball head, and camera support brand — but not all clamps and plates are built to the same tolerance.

ProMediaGear's Arca-Swiss clamps and quick release plates are CNC-machined from T6061 aluminum for a precise, secure lock every time, so your camera stays put whether you're shooting handheld transitions or locked down for a long exposure.

Why It Matters:

  • True Arca-Swiss Compatibility — Drops straight into your existing Arca-Swiss tripod head, ball head, or clamp system, including Gitzo, RRS, and Manfrotto
  • Precision Machining — CNC-machined tolerances mean a tight, wobble-free lock — no play, no slipping under load
  • Quick-Release Convenience — Mount and dismount your camera in seconds without sacrificing security
  • Built for Heavy Loads — Engineered to handle the weight of professional camera bodies and long telephoto lenses
  • USA-Made Quality — Satin black anodized finish resists abrasion and corrosion, backed by a 5-year warranty

Whether you're upgrading a single clamp or building a complete quick-release system across multiple cameras, browse below to find the exact plate or clamp for your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Arca-Swiss compatibility, and why does it matter?

Arca-Swiss is a universal dovetail mounting standard used by most major tripod and ball head manufacturers. A true Arca-Swiss compatible clamp or plate will work across brands — so a ProMediaGear plate fits an Arca-Swiss clamp from Gitzo, RRS, Manfrotto, or ProMediaGear itself.

Will these clamps and plates work with my existing tripod head?

Yes, as long as your tripod head or ball head uses the Arca-Swiss standard. Most professional tripod heads released in the last decade use this system, but check your head's specs if you're unsure.

What's the difference between a clamp and a plate?

A plate attaches to your camera body (or lens foot) and slides into a clamp, which is mounted on your tripod or ball head. You typically need one plate per camera and one clamp per tripod head, though some setups use multiple plates for different bodies with a single clamp.

Can I use one plate across multiple camera bodies?

It depends on the plate — some are body-specific (contoured to a single camera model), while others are more universal. Check the product description for fit details, or contact us if you're unsure.
