Manfrotto 501PL Quick Release Plate 2 Pack 3433

Quick Release Plate Two Pack

This two pack supplies two Manfrotto 501PL quick release plates built for Manfrotto 501 and 503 Pro Video Heads. Each plate carries both a 1/4 inch and a 3/8 inch mounting screw so it fits a wide range of cameras and camcorders. The anodized aluminium construction keeps weight low while providing a secure lock that prevents accidental release during a shoot. Having a spare plate lets you switch bodies or rigs without rebalancing the head.

Videographers Using 501 Or 503 Heads

The plates suit professionals and enthusiasts who already own a Manfrotto 501 or 503 head and want a second or replacement plate for multi camera workflows. They also help anyone who moves between tripod and slider setups and needs the same quick release interface on both. Buyers whose fluid head uses a different proprietary plate or an Arca Swiss style clamp will not be able to mount these plates and should look for the correct interface instead.

Check Head Model And Screw Threads

Before ordering confirm that your fluid head is a Manfrotto 501 or 503 Pro Video Head because the locking mechanism is model specific. Verify which mounting screw your camera or cage requires, 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch, so you know which thread to engage on the plate. If your head is a different series or brand the plate will not lock securely and the quick release function will not work.
