Rapid Connect Adapter with Sliding Plate

The Manfrotto 357-1 Rapid Connect Adapter paired with the 357PLV-1 sliding mounting plate lets photographers detach a camera from a head and move it to another support in seconds. A robust aluminium body keeps the connection rigid for sharp stills and steady video. Two 1/4"-20 and two 3/8"-16 screws are included to match most camera bases. The removable anti-rotation pin stops unwanted twist during critical shots.

Check your head and camera threads before ordering

Verify that your tripod head accepts either a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 mounting stud so the adapter locks securely. Confirm the camera base has a matching thread for the supplied screws. The anti-rotation pin requires a corresponding socket on the camera body; if your model lacks one, simply remove the pin before mounting. No other tools are needed for the swap.

Sliding plate adds 80 mm of balance travel

The 357PLV-1 plate slides 80 mm or 3.1" fore and aft, letting you centre the camera's gravity point over the head without shifting the tripod. This frees you from re-levelling the legs after a lens change. The quick-release lever on the adapter releases the plate instantly, so you can move between tripod, slider or rig without fumbling with threaded mounts.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package includes the 357-1 Rapid Connect Adapter, the 357PLV-1 sliding mounting plate, two 1/4"-20 screws, two 3/8"-16 screws and a removable anti-rotation pin. No extra hardware is required for standard tripod or camera mounting.

Should I choose the 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 thread for my tripod?

Use the 3/8"-16 thread for most professional tripod heads and the 1/4"-20 thread for lighter heads or accessories; both thread sizes are supplied so you can match your specific support.

What does the 80 mm sliding travel on the plate actually give me?

The 80 mm (3.1") slide lets you shift the camera forward or back to balance front-heavy lenses or fine-tune composition without moving the tripod.
