The Sunwayfoto SSC-50 Universal Arca Standard 50mm QR Clamp can be attached to most ball heads using an included M6 screw. It screws into the thread at the top of the ball of the head. The SSC-50 has a minimalist design, with any unnecessary parts cut out in all the right places, making it comparatively lighter and more compact. It supports all Arca standard quick release plates and features a knob on one side for securing the plate and has a bubble level on the other side.

Q: 3. Can this replace the clamp on a Calumet 7045 ball head - the clamp is attached with a central screw and is removable - I just don't know how standardized that screw attachment is?

A: I am using the Manfroto Arca as the transition piece between the Arca foot and the Manfroto quick plate that slips into the ballhead receiver plate. The two components are attached to each other with the 1/4-20 screw already being used. I choose to keep this arrangement assembled to the Arca lens foot for convenience and speed. Use a second quick plate for standard, non- Arca needs.

Q: 5. What is the max load on this clamp? Cannot find it even in Sunwayfoto's site

A: I do not have definitive or spec-based answer, but based on my experience I could clamp heavy weight set, D850 + battery grip + Nikon 70-200 f2.8 / Tamron 15-30 f2.8, about 3 - 3.5kg, with manfrotto tripod. No problem to transfer on my shoulder. However I never trust any type of gear when the transfer so I use neckstrap with my arm all the time so I can catch if my gear drops. I hope this might be a help.

Q: 6. 1. What is the length of the M6 screw please? 2. Is it a compatible fit with the RRS L brackets?

A: I can answer part of your question -- about RRS plates. I have RRS, Induro, Kirk, Desmond and a couple of other brand plates, and this clamp works with all of them. The Sunway Photo website calls this RRS Compatible. It also works with Manfrotto 200PL plates.

Q: 7. Can I use this to convert a non-arca compatible tripod such as the Sunpak Ultra 7000TM by attaching this on top of the QR plate on the Sunpak?

A: Yes, you can but it is not ideal, attaching a quick release on top of another quick release maybe creating more problems than its worth.

Q: 8. Is this clamp compatible with the MANFROTTO MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO Ball Head?

A: The MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO already has an Arca type clamp. However, if needed to use both Arca type or Manfrotto RC2 clamps on the head, you would need to remove the clamp on the head and exchange it with the Sunwayfoto clamp.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with 500PLONG Manfrotto plate?

A: You can mount it but it's not rotation safe. I had to buy a Benro PL150 to mount on my Manfrotto plate and then I could use a RSS double-clamp (REMINICLMPPC)

Q: 10. Can I use this to attach my l-bracket (arca swiss) to a manfrotto tripod?
