I use an Arca L plate by Really Right Stuff on my Nikon D700. Can I still use that and have the locking mechanism work ?

Hi, the ARCA plate model should work great with your set up and there should be no issues with any of the functions being disabled.

While the ARCA plate is compatible with ARCA Swiss tripods like RRS, Capture will not accept other other ARCA plates as they do not have the proper geometry on the bottom of the plates to work with Capture's locking mechanism.-Peak Design

Careful, the plate that comes with the capture is Arca-Compatible. However, an Arca L-Bracket such as the one from RRS will NOT work with the capture. The capture plate works with Arca, but has extra features that allow it to lock into the capture. Because of this, other Arca-compatible products will not lock into the capture.

It will connect to any SLR camera via a standard tripod mount. It holds my D7000 fine. The locking mechanism may run afoul depending on exactly where you wish to place the T3i. There is room to move the plate and camera back and forth though.

i'm not sure if this addresses your question; but the threaded hole on the bottom of this device is identical to the threaded hole (for tripod, flash etc.) on a camera. so, you will be able to screw the removable plate-with-screw from your quick-release onto this device with no problem.

No, is not compatible, but you can add arca swiss clamp, just bolt on to the existing plate, is only about $10-$20 online Amazon or Ebay.

You must have an Arca Swiss compatible tripod head mounted on your tripod. The L bracket should be compatible with any Arca Swiss compatible tripod head.

I elected to put an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp atop the mono-pod to make it easier to quickly change camera bodies and lenses. You might want to put a ballhead or other device, but it will work directly with the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera

This clamp is made to the Arca-Swiss standard, so as long as your plate is made to the same standard, it should work just fine. I bought this as a cheap option for a seldom-used monopod, and it's worked with my Really Right Stuff gear with no problems.

I don't believe so- it mainly locks for long exposures, fires the shutter, etc- I'd check with the manufacturer.

Will not work with the Bogen style QR plate. Arca-Swiss is the way to go....

I put the bottom plate all the way to the right, it has small screws on rear and front of main bracket. I have a Nikon d7000 so I can slide a electronic cable release into position. There is not enough room to put it on the right side on my camera. the bracket will slide about one inch from front to back. If screw that attaches bracket to camera does not slide in slot it may need to have a little more threads cut off.

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.

There is no lock on this lens. I have not found that to be a problem. (I love the lens!)

The Lock down lever is spring loaded so you can pull it out and turn it if it interfers with the camera. It does not interfer with my Sony A65 DSLR thou. the plate is much longer than the camera body so you can position the slide plate on the camera and in the head so they lever misses the camera. Even if it did interfer you could pull the lever out, turn it, push back in and tighten. Great head, my only gripe about it is the bubble level is hard to see once a camera is mounted on it.

My lens locks in, the little silver button on the slide clicks forward when the lens is locked, and you must push that button back to be able to twist the lens to remove it. This is if you are talking about the lens locking to the adaptor. Instead, if you are talking about the adaptor locking to the camera, if you turn it the wrong way, you can turn it around and around in the mount without it locking in. That is just a question of turning the right direction. I've had the mount for a year, use it heavily, and it works perfectly for me. I use it with two Nikon lens.

I have had mine on my d7000 since the day I bought both and as long as you make sure to tighten it really well it will not move.

Cannot be used with their traditional quick release plates. The quick release plates that are compatible with this are "Arca Swiss" type of plates. Believe they do have one type of plate that is compatible, but all of the plates I had in past that came with their various heads are not not.

Yes this tripod has "Arca Swiss" type plate on it,and can be used with that type plate.Several places sell Arca Swiss type plates,just "Google" such and go shopping!Might want to tighten the leg couplings ever so often on this model,seems to come loose when used several times! gary/images by collins
