Manfrotto Dove Tail Plate Adapter

The Manfrotto 384 Dove Tail Plate Adapter is a 170 g aluminum quick-release system with dovetail design, including 384PL and 384PLARCH plates plus 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 fixing screws—delivering fast, secure camera swaps for architectural or macro rigs on compatible Manfrotto heads.

The Manfrotto 384 features a compact aluminum receiver with dovetail lock that accepts both the standard 384PL plate and the longer 384PLARCH architectural plate for extended lens support. Dual 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 captive screws ensure universal camera compatibility, while the spring-loaded safety pin prevents accidental release. At just 170 g, it’s the perfect lightweight upgrade for 410, 405, or 808RC4 heads used in product, architecture, or studio work—enabling instant plate changes without tools and rock-solid hold under heavy telephoto or shift lenses.
