Manfrotto Q6 Top Lock quick release adaptor

The Manfrotto MSQ6 Q6 Top Lock Quick Release Adaptor is a 180 g aluminum Arca-compatible clamp with drop-in top-loading plate, auto-safety pin, triple bubble levels (one per axis), and 10 kg payload—upgrading select Manfrotto heads (MH054/055/057, 468MG, XPRO-BHQ2) for fast, ultra-secure heavy-pro camera swaps.

The Manfrotto Q6 Top Lock Adaptor transforms compatible RC2/RC4/RC5 heads into a top-loading Arca-Swiss system. The camera plate drops in from above and triggers an automatic safety pin to prevent accidental slide-out—even before the lever locks. Three integrated bubble levels (pan, front tilt, side tilt) ensure perfect alignment in-camera, minimizing cropping and post-production. CNC-machined from lightweight aluminum, it’s rated for 10 kg and includes one MSQ6 Arca plate (spares separate). Ideal for studio, sports, or wildlife shooters using heavy DSLRs or telephoto rigs who demand instant, fail-safe mounting on MH054, MH055, MH057, 468MG, or XPRO-BHQ2 heads.
