Universal Quick-Release Plate

The Vanguard Alta QS-60 V2 is an Arca-type compatible quick-release plate designed for photographers who need fast camera mounting on tripods. It fits Alta Pro 2 and 2+ heads plus other Arca-compatible heads, removing the need for multiple plates. A standard 1/4" screw secures most cameras, while anti-slip rubber pads add stability for stills or video work.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your tripod head uses an Arca-type clamp before ordering, as this plate will not fit proprietary plate systems. Confirm your camera body accepts a standard 1/4" mounting screw, which covers the vast majority of consumer and professional bodies. No tools are required for installation, but ensure the clamp width can accommodate the plate profile.

Handling and Durability

The aluminium alloy construction weighs 0.17 kg, adding minimal mass to a travel kit while resisting corrosion and wear. The low-profile design keeps the centre of gravity close to the head, reducing leverage stress during long exposures. Rubber pads dampen micro-vibrations without trapping heat, so the plate remains neutral to the touch in normal outdoor temperatures.

Questions about this item

Does the Vanguard Alta QS-60 V2 come with any extra screws or tools, or is it just the plate?

The package includes the quick release plate fitted with a standard 1/4" camera screw and anti-slip rubber pads; no additional tools or spare screws are supplied.

The title mentions Alta Pro 2, Alta Pro 2+ and Arca heads — which version should I pick for my setup?

There is only one version of the QS-60 V2; its Arca-type profile fits Alta Pro 2, Alta Pro 2+ and any other Arca-compatible head without needing a different model.

At 0.17 kg, will the plate add noticeable weight to a lightweight travel tripod?

At 0.17 kg the aluminium-alloy plate adds minimal mass and is unlikely to affect the balance of a compact travel tripod.
