The QRP-40 from FLM is a dovetail quick release plate made for cameras with a 1/4"-20 tripod thread. It allows you to quickly attach and detach your camera from a tripod, monopod or other support. The cork-coated surface protects the bottom of your camera body and prevents camera-twist.

Cork-Coated Surface

The plate can be displaced 12mm to adjust for camera balance or to find the nodal point.

A: The Axler is a little longer than the Gitzo and the Gitzo includes extra screws.

Q: 6. Is this Arca Swiss compatible? Will L brackets from KIRK or RRS lock onto base?

A: There are two parts to your question that was submitted on the product page of the FLM QRP-50 Quick Release Plate (B&H# FLCP50). First, you asked if the FLM QRP-50 Quick Release Plate (B&H# FLCP50) is Arca Swiss-compatible. Our response to that is that yes, it is, and so it will fit in most Arca-compatible quick release clamps. Second, you asked if L brackets from Kirk and Really Right Stuff (subsequently referred to as "RRS") lock into the base. . . of something -- presumably of the FLM QRP-50 Quick Release Plate (B&H# FLCP50). No, they do not as this is a plate and not a clamp. However, as of July 2021, all L brackets made by Kirk or RRS that we currently sell follow the Arca standard and thus fit into most Arca-compatible quick release clamps. As such, if you were asking if those will fit into an Arca-compatible clamp then the answer is that they are indeed designed to do so. (There is some variance among manufacturers, however, so not every plate and clamp combination will always work even if they both claim Arca-compatibility.) If you would also like us to recommend a clamp, please contact us by email, chat, or phone and tell us what the clamp will itself be attached to -- such as to a specific of make and model of tripod head.

Q: 7. I have a Manfrotto 503HDV head. Will this plate work with it?

A: The Axler QRP-501S Quick-Release Plate (Standard) will work with the Manfrotto 503HDV and most any other Manfrotto head.

Q: 8. I was wondering if there are any issues with this plate twisting while on camera, since it is a universal plate?

A: The QRP plates are the most solid I've ever used, even with minimal tightening. This is partially due to the rubber-and-cork pads.

Q: 9. will this plate fit well on a manfrotto 501 and 503 fluid heads?

A: Yes I have both heads. Works great.

Q: 10. Would this plate fit perfectly tight (That is no play at all) to the Arri Broadcast plate for Canon C300 MII?

A: While we have not physically tested that exact pairing, that plate is specifically designed for VCT style tripod adapters.
