Manfrotto 400PL-LOW Low-Profile Quick Release Plate for RC4 Geared Heads

The Manfrotto 400PL-LOW stands apart from conventional quick release plates by combining a remarkably thin 10 mm profile with the robust RC4 platform, delivering rock-solid stability without adding bulk to your geared head setup. Crafted from lightweight aluminum and finished in black, this plate is engineered for photographers who demand precision and reliability when using Manfrotto 400, 405, or 410 geared heads.

Highlights

• Low-profile design: only 10 mm tall for minimal camera offset
• Dual reversible camera screw: 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 for broad compatibility
• Retractable anti-rotation pin prevents twisting on compatible heads
• Rubber grip pads ensure a secure, vibration-free camera mount
• Constructed from durable aluminum, weighing just 100 g
• Compatible with RC4 quick release system and secondary safety pin

In daily use

Mounting your camera or lens plate is straightforward: choose the appropriate screw thread, align the anti-rotation pin if your head supports it, and tighten firmly. The low height keeps your rig balanced and reduces strain on the geared movements, while the rubber pads protect your equipment and maintain a solid grip. When using the Manfrotto 400, 405, or 410 heads, the plate locks in with a reassuring click and can be further secured with the head's secondary safety pin for peace of mind during critical shoots.
