ProMediaGear PM501L Manfrotto 501PL / RC3 / RC5 to 38 mm dovetail adapter

Compatibility for DSLR videographers with 38 mm dovetail

The PM501L is a game changer for DSLR videographers who have mounted an Arca-style 38 mm dovetail plate on their camera. The PM501L plate with integrated clamp makes it possible to mount the DSLR camera with the corresponding mount (Arca-style 38 mm dovetail mount) on a common video tripod such as the Manfrotto 501PL / 502 / Nitro / RC3 / RC5 / NG heads and the Gitzo G2380 video head.

Convert Manfrotto video heads to the 38 mm standard

Use the PM501L to make your Manfrotto video head (501PL / 502 / 504 / Nitro / RC2 / RC5) compatible with the 38 mm dovetail standard.

Quick use without screws

This allows you to use DSLR cameras with video function that are equipped with a 38 mm dovetail L-bracket or a 38 mm dovetail camera plate with transverse clamping profile perfectly on these fluid heads, without any screwing!
