New Hejnar Photo conversion plate only for Manfrotto 405 gear head. There is no clamp included with this plate. If you want combo (plate and clamp) please check my other auctions. Combination of plate and clamp will let you use Manfrotto geared head with any arca swiss equipment. Manfrotto gear head is more precise than ball head and preferred by many photographers. Many architectural and interior photographers actually prefer geared 3-axis tripod heads rather than ball heads because they can make precision adjustments to each axis. Two popular heads are Manfrotto 405 and 410 which each use Manfrotto QR plate. Arca-swiss plate fans can now bypass this. Clamp can disconnected from plate and use independent on other equipment if needed. If you prefer clamp can be positioned in relation to adapter plate in 90 degree increments to make it convenient for everybody, or what are you used to. It is the best quick release system for tripods and monopods. International standard dove-tail clamp, compatible with Arca-Swiss type quick release plates
I would suggest to purchase gear head before placing order for adapter plate and compare maunting pattern with your head. I also have similar setup for 410 gear head in my store if your need one.
Please check mounting hole location before placing order. See picture for references.
Adapter plate is attached to Manfrotto geared head in two simple steps.
1) removing lock down level with provided 3mm hex key.
2) Connect plate to geared head using one 1/4-20 screw and one 10-32 screw.
