Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick release plate up to 50mm

Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate up to 50 mm for your tripod head

Sometimes it’s just a small part that suddenly makes your setup run really smoothly. The Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate up to 50 mm is exactly that kind of component: inconspicuous, extremely precisely manufactured and incredibly practical in everyday use when you want to quickly remount tripod heads or other gear without having to spend ages screwing or fiddling around.

With this quick-release plate, you equip the base of your tripod head with an Arca-style compatible quick-release profile. That means you can attach and remove your camera or other Arca-style compatible components in a flash without having to realign everything each time. Once mounted properly, it works like clockwork.

Arca-style compatible, seamlessly integrable into your existing system

The TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate is fully Arca-style compatible and thus fits into the common professional standards you are probably already using. From ball heads and gimbal heads to L-brackets and camera plates based on Arca-style profiles, you can continue to use your existing system without having to change anything. That’s exactly how it should be: no proprietary special path, but an open, proven standard that offers you flexibility and future-proofing.

Especially if you use several tripod heads or setups in parallel, this compatibility really comes into its own. You switch from telephoto tilt head to ball head or from gimbal to another head and still keep a uniform quick-release system. That saves time, nerves and, in case of doubt, a few failed shots as well.

Made in the USA, precision and quality you can feel

The Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate is made in the USA and thus follows the high manufacturing standards for which Really Right Stuff has been known in the professional sector for years. The workmanship is clean, the edges are precisely machined and the profile fits perfectly into high-quality Arca-style clamps. When you tighten the screws, you can tell that nothing here has been made “by rule of thumb”, but with very tight tolerances.

This manufacturing quality really pays off if you are regularly out and about in the field, in cold, heat or humidity. A robust, solid quick-release plate that does not warp even after many uses and remains reliably in the system is simply worth its weight in gold. You could say this is more of a long-distance tool than something for the display cabinet.

Perfect fit for selected tripod heads and gimbal heads

The Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate up to 50 mm has been designed to combine particularly well with certain tripod heads and gimbal heads. It fits perfectly on the following models:

• Gitzo GHFG1 Fluid Gimbal
• ProMediaGear Katana Junior telephoto tilt head
• Really Right Stuff BH-40 ball head
• Wimberley WH-200 gimbal head

If you use one of these heads, you get a very well-balanced combination of stability, ease of use and speed when changing your equipment. You equip the respective head at the base with an Arca-style quick-release profile and can then clamp your camera or other Arca-style components directly. No improvising, no fiddling, but a cleanly matched system.

Quick-release plate up to 50 mm, what you should pay attention to during installation

One important point that is often overlooked: the surface of the TH-DVTL-40 is slightly raised at the outer edge. This is intentional by design, providing additional stability and a defined contact surface. At the same time, however, it means that you should pay attention to the base diameter when selecting the appropriate tripod head.

Only tripod heads with a base diameter of a maximum of 50 mm should be mounted. Anything above that can no longer sit properly and will lose stability. So if your tripod head has a base diameter of up to 50 mm, you are on the safe side and can use the quick-release plate without any problems. If in doubt, we recommend quickly measuring before mounting. It takes half a minute and saves you trouble later on.

Lightweight with impact, only 37 g but a big difference in handling

Weighing just 37 g, the Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate is a true lightweight. In your camera bag it is practically negligible, but on the tripod head it is clearly noticeable in a positive way. You gain a full-fledged Arca-style quick-release profile without unnecessarily weighing down your setup.

Especially if you are on the move a lot, whether travelling, hiking or in everyday urban life, every gram adds up. A quick-release plate that weighs so little and still offers so much functionality is a very pleasant compromise. Small, flat, robust and almost invisible in use, yet indispensable in your workflow.

Areas of use: from wildlife to studio, flexible and practical

Whether you are working with a telephoto lens in wildlife photography, shooting architecture with a compact ball head or want to switch quickly between different setups in the studio, the TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate up to 50 mm is suitable for many scenarios. Especially in combination with gimbal heads such as the Gitzo GHFG1 or the Wimberley WH-200, it plays to its strengths because you frequently switch between different cameras or lens combinations there.

In the studio or on reportage assignments, when things simply have to move fast and you have no time for lengthy screwing, a properly set up Arca-style quick-release system is a real productivity booster. You place the camera on, clamp, done. No guessing game, no wobbly mounting.

Installation and handling, straightforward and suitable for everyday use

Installing the Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 quick-release plate on your tripod head is intentionally kept simple. You attach the plate to the base of the tripod head, make sure of the maximum base diameter of 50 mm and align it properly. After that, you have a full-fledged Arca-style quick-release profile at your disposal, which you can use with your existing clamps and plates.

In everyday use, this means you can change tripod heads, cameras or accessories much faster without sacrificing stability. For anyone who regularly jumps between different setups, this is a noticeable gain in comfort. It’s one of those parts you mount once and then eventually can’t imagine doing without because it just works.
