The bottom edges are dovetailed for smoother loading and unloading from the clamp, as well as less abrasions. The screws of the Novoflex plates work with both traditional flathead screwdrivers as well as 5/32" Allen wrenches.

A finely machined plate for Arca-type quick release clamps.

Q=Plates use the special safety pin of the Q=Base, to prevent the plates from slipping out of the base.
