Manfrotto 384 dovetail quick-release adapter with 2 plates

The Manfrotto 384 is a compact aluminum quick-release adapter with a dovetail rail that allows you to securely and consistently mount a camera on various supports without time-consuming screwing. The package includes two matching plates: the standard 384PL-14 and the longer architectural 384PLARCH-14 for precise camera positioning when shooting in portrait orientation. The adapter weighs only 170 g and features 1/4″ and 3/8″ threaded mounts, making it a practical choice for product, macro, and architectural photography.

Two Plates in One System

The dovetail guide creates a secure and precisely repeatable connection. The standard 384PL-14 plate is ready for everyday use, while the longer 384PLARCH-14 helps maintain proper camera alignment when rotated to portrait orientation.

Quick Setup Changes

Once the plates are attached, the camera can be moved between compatible mounts without having to repeatedly loosen the screw on the body. This allows for faster workflow and consistent camera positioning.

Compact aluminum design

The entire adapter weighs 0.17 kg. The bottom mount, featuring 1/4″ and 3/8″ threads, makes it easy to integrate into a studio or photography setup.
