The plate is also compatible with the Arca-type mounting system, making it versatile for other mounting needs. With this unique aluminium plate attached to the camera, all Manfrotto heads** and nearly all tripod heads on the market can be mounted quickly and effortlessly, eliminating the need for disassembly.
