Gitzo GS5160CDT Arca Style Quick Release Plate Adapter

Description

The Gitzo GS5160CDT Arca Style Quick Release Plate Adapter is a smart solution that fits standard 'arca style' quick release plates on standard Gitzo quick release adapters. It is designed to be inserted into a Gitzo profile C quick release adapter (compatibility chart provided) and safely locks into position; the head, is then ready to accept a standard 'arca style', quick release plate. The 'arca style' plate is locked into position with the standard locking knob or lever and the inner part of the Gitzo GS5160CDT Arca Style Quick Release Plate Adapter has been designed to act like a spring and solidly lock the plate into position. The GS5160CDT adapter is made of high quality machined aluminum and features Gitzo's PTFE surface treatment, which guarantees maximum smoothness when in use and does not scratch quick release plates.

Important Note: Arca style plates can have different width measurements depending on brand and specific model. The Gitzo adapter is compatible with the 'arca style' plate within a specific range of width and it does not cover all the possible widths available in the market. For this reason it is always helpful, to check the compatibility of the Gitzo adapter with the specific quick release plate you are going to use, before purchasing. It is very difficult to precisely measure the width of the 'slopes' of these quick release plates, and even tiny differences can create very different results.
