Really Right Stuff MPR-113 113 mm multipurpose quick-release plate

Really Right Stuff MPR-113 multipurpose quick-release plate for precise photography

Sometimes a small, inconspicuous rail is exactly the part that holds everything together in everyday photography. The Really Right Stuff MPR-113 113 mm multipurpose quick-release plate falls exactly into this category. Compact, robust, amazingly versatile, and clearly made for users who don’t just admire their gear at their desk, but put it to work out in the field.

With its length of 113 mm and width of 38 mm, the MPR-113 offers enough contact surface for demanding setups while still remaining pleasantly handy. Weighing only 74 g, it won’t bloat your backpack, yet still gives you a stable base for camera, lens, or accessories.

Universal multipurpose quick-release plate for lenses, cameras, and accessories

The MPR-113 is designed as a universal quick-release plate and is part of a series available in additional lengths from 73 mm to 192 mm. This 113 mm version hits a very practical sweet spot. You can use it as a lens plate for telephoto lenses with tripod collar, as a camera plate for some medium and large format cameras, or combine it with an additional quick-release clamp to build a nodal rail for panoramic photography. It is also suitable as a mount for various accessories in Really Right Stuff clamps and other compatible systems.

Especially if you like to switch between telephoto lens, camera, and perhaps a flash or microphone system, this multipurpose quick-release plate becomes a very practical central hub. Once properly mounted, the rest almost takes care of itself.

Arca-style compatible for flexible tripod setups

The MPR-113 has a 38 mm dovetail profile and is Arca-style compatible, which makes it usable with all Really Right Stuff quick-release clamps and other 38 mm dovetail-compatible clamps. This means it fits a wide range of modern tripod heads, ball heads, and panorama or gimbal systems that rely on this widely used profile. If you are generally looking for ARCA compatibility and want to build your setup accordingly, you can find additional matching components via this reference: ARCA compatible.

The result is a very direct, play-free connection between plate and clamp, which simply brings more stability to your images when working with long focal lengths, series shots, or finely tuned studio setups.

Made in the USA with high manufacturing quality

The Really Right Stuff MPR-113 is made in the USA and follows the typical quality standard that many photographers associate with this brand. Cleanly milled edges, precise fits, and a durable surface ensure that the plate continues to work reliably even after frequent clamping and unclamping in the quick-release system. The surface is designed so that it doesn’t immediately look scratched in tough outdoor use if you set the rail down on rock, wood, or asphalt.

This manufacturing quality really pays off with long telephoto lenses or heavy camera systems, because nothing twists or shifts uncontrollably when you properly tighten the clamps.

Versatile applications from telephoto lens to large format camera

The MPR-113 is deliberately not pinned down to a single use case. You can use it as a lens plate for lenses with tripod collar to create a stable, length-adjustable base. At the same time, it is suitable as a camera plate for some medium and large format cameras where a classic, very short quick-release plate often provides too little contact surface.

In combination with an additional quick-release clamp, the MPR-113 can be used as a nodal rail for panoramic photography to precisely adjust rotation points and minimize parallax errors. Beyond that, you can use it as a mount for various objects in Really Right Stuff clamps, such as flash brackets, rail combinations, or special rigs in the studio and in the field.

Compatible with telephoto lenses from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sigma, and Tamron

The MPR-113 multipurpose quick-release plate can be used universally and is particularly well suited for a range of popular telephoto lenses. For Canon users, for example, it is suitable for the Canon 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II, where a stable and longer contact surface on the tripod head noticeably contributes to a steadier viewfinder image.

For Nikon F lenses, the plate is very well suited for the Nikon 200–500mm f/5.6E ED VR AF-S NIKKOR, the Nikon 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S NIKKOR, and the Nikon 80–400mm f/4.5–5.6G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR. With these focal lengths in particular, a solid, torsion-resistant connection between lens collar and quick-release clamp is crucial to reduce vibrations and make working with longer shutter speeds or burst shooting easier.

The MPR-113 is also a suitable option for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm 1:4.0 IS PRO when you want to securely fix your Micro Four Thirds telephoto on an Arca-style compatible head. For Sigma users, the plate is suitable, among others, for the Sigma 150–600mm F5–6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary, while Tamron users can mount the Tamron 150–600mm f/5–6.3 SP Di VC in a stable and reliable way. In this way, the MPR-113 covers a wide range of telephoto zooms and primes that are commonly used in nature, sports, and wildlife photography.

Technical data and well-thought-out details

With a length of 113 mm and a width of 38 mm, the MPR-113 multipurpose quick-release plate weighs only 74 g. Included in the scope of delivery are two B107 1/4" mounting screws, four M3 safety stop screws, one MPR-C stop flange, and one hex key for mounting. In addition, two screws for mounting the MPR-C stop are included, as well as a 5/32 hex key so that you can mount all components without any additional tools.

The anti-twist stop flange can be attached in various positions so you can adapt the plate to your camera or lens. This stop flange helps prevent the mounted unit from twisting when you tighten the quick-release clamp. Compatibility with Really Right Stuff and Wimberley flash mounting systems opens up additional possibilities, for example when working with telephoto flashes or special wildlife setups.

Safety stop screws for more security in everyday use

The four included M3 safety stop screws can be attached to the underside of the MPR-113. These safety stop screws prevent accidental sliding out of the quick-release clamp when the clamp is not fully opened. This is particularly helpful when you are working in the dark, handling gear in the cold with gloves, or moving through uneven terrain where a brief moment of inattention could otherwise quickly lead to a dropped camera.

With correctly mounted safety stop screws, the plate remains guided in the clamp even when you loosen it to adjust the position. Only when you open the clamp wide enough can the plate be removed. This small detail brings a noticeable amount of peace of mind in everyday use.

Usable as a nodal rail for panoramas and creative setups

With an additional quick-release clamp, the MPR-113 can be turned into a functional nodal rail. This allows you to move the camera precisely along the optical axis and set the rotation point for panoramic photography. This is particularly interesting if you want to create multi-row panoramas, high-resolution landscape shots, or interior panoramas where parallax errors should be kept as low as possible.

The length of 113 mm is a sensible compromise. It is long enough to cover many common camera and lens combinations without making your setup unnecessarily bulky. At the same time, the plate remains compact enough to leave it permanently mounted on lens or camera.

Scope of delivery of the Really Right Stuff MPR-113

In the scope of delivery of the Really Right Stuff MPR-113 113 mm multipurpose quick-release plate, you will find everything you need to get started right away. Included are:

This allows you to mount the plate directly to lens or camera, position the stop flange as needed, and install the safety stop screws. You don’t have to search for additional tools first and can integrate the system into your existing setup quite quickly.

Clamping profile and compatibility at a glance

According to the manufacturer, the clamping profile of the MPR-113 is Arca-style compatible and corresponds to a 38 mm dovetail profile. This makes the plate usable with all Really Right Stuff quick-release clamps and many other 38 mm dovetail-compatible clamps from other manufacturers. This broad compatibility makes it easy to integrate the plate into existing systems without having to rebuild everything from scratch.

In addition to tripod and lens mounting, the plate is compatible with Really Right Stuff and Wimberley flash mounting systems, which is particularly interesting for nature and wildlife photographers who use telephoto flashes or complex lighting setups. This way, you can cover several areas of your workflow with a single component and carry fewer different plates and rails with you.
