What does "Arca-Swiss compatible" actually mean here?
…unfortunately not very much.
In this post, we will gradually test and publish the compatibility of quick release components from various manufacturers.
Listed below, you will find which 38 mm dovetail systems are compatible with each other and which do not fit together.
For this, one must look from two sides:
- Which manufacturer’s clamp grips which plates or brackets from other manufacturers.
- Which plate profiles fit into which clamps from other manufacturers
We will provide a corresponding date for this, as manufacturers may change the specifications of their clamps or plate profiles in the meantime.
Tested clamps and brackets or plates are partially representative of other similar quick release components from the same manufacturer.

- Cambo plates QR-7, QR-8 (customer feedback from 13.12.2019)
The plates without safety screws fit perfectly, but the M3 safety screws protrude too far because they are not recessed as deeply as with RRS or Kirk. In the RRS clamps, the plates then rest on the safety screws because the recesses in the clamps are not deep enough. So either use the plates without safety screws or with flatter screws (e.g., M3 slotted screws with flat head instead of the M3 hex socket screws).
- Gitzo D-profile plates, the plates slip when fully closed (tested on 22.03.2016)
- Novoflex clamp profiles, the plates slip when fully closed (tested on 22.03.2016)
- Manfrotto Q6 clamp profiles, the plates slip when fully closed (tested on 22.03.2016)
- Sirui plates and brackets, the profiles might slip when fully closed (tested on 22.03.2016)
Really Right Stuff PC-LR-40 compact panorama clamp with quick release lever
The clamp seems to be less tolerant than other lever clamps from RRS; clamping profiles that are slightly wider or higher than those from RRS cannot be clamped (the clamp will not close). Very narrow profiles, like those from Novoflex... have not yet been tested by us.
Depending on the deviation in the profile width of the Kirk plates, slightly narrower profiles can be clamped well, while slightly wider profiles prevent the lever clamp from closing.

How do I find the specific accessories for my camera?
Please select the path via the category → Camera accessories.
Here you will either immediately discover your camera model or click on camera L-brackets or camera plates, depending on what you need. If, for example, you are in the L-brackets category, select the camera manufacturer, e.g. Nikon, Sony, Canon, Olympus, and then from the selection that appears your camera model (please pay attention to whether it is the camera model with or without battery grip).
If you cannot find your camera model, there are no specific accessories for it. This happens sometimes; especially for older camera models, nothing is produced anymore. Alternatively, there will certainly be a universal plate or an L-bracket for it.
How do I find the special accessories for my lens?
Please select the path via the category → Lens accessories.
Lens plates or replacement lens feet, lens collars or lens protection, depending on what you need. If you are, for example, in the lens plates category, select the lens manufacturer, e.g. Nikon, Sony, Canon, Olympus, and then choose your lens model from the selection that appears.
If you cannot find your lens model, there will be no special accessories for it – but there will certainly be alternatives.
