Acratech Quick Release Plate #2172 Fits the following cameras:

  • Canon 5D MKII

Acratech quick release plates are the perfect combination for your light weight tripod head, or any photography application where weight, and a perfect fit are priority.

Acratech Quick Release Plate Features

  • Acratech quick release plates are compatible with all Arca-Swiss type quick release clamps (Foba, Arca, Kirk, Wimberly, etc)
  • Acratech quick release plates are camera specific, which means they will fit your camera and will prevent your camera from rotating or moving on the plate
  • Acratech quick release plates are designed to allow access to all camera controls and functions without removing the plate
  • Acratech quick release plates are designed to provide maximum contact area to the bottom of the camera increasing stability and helping to minimize flexing of the camera body
  • We do not cut a groove under the head of the mounting screws which weakens them at a point where they are already most likely to break
  • Our plates are precision C.N.C. machined from solid 6061 T-6 aluminum. We do not use inferior castings like some manufacturers
  • We have eliminated all unnecessary threaded bosses etc. to further reduce weight
  • Made in the U.S.A.
  • Satin black anodized finish
  • We use advanced computer aided design software to create super strong lightweight plates

Acratech designed this differently from other plate manufacturer such as Kirk. They are minimalist, the plate does not have slot for hand strap, does not have hole to attach to regular head (eg. attaching to non clamp head with the plate already attached to camera), and use non capture screw.

All for good reasons, slot would make it bigger, additional hole would make it thicker, like the Kirk plate, and non capture screw so they don't have to create a groove on the screw which might compromise strength.

This plate is a good 2-3 mm thinner than the comparable Kirk plate. Seems lighter too, but can't verify this. The finish is matte instead of glossy (glossy looks better IMHO) and it attached fine to either Markins or Kirk clamp that I use. Once installed it does not twist. I wish they print the model number on it though.
