Manfrotto 501PL Video Camera Plate

The Manfrotto 501PL is the standard compact sliding RC5 quick-release plate for compatible video heads and the Manfrotto 577 adapter. Its 90 × 50 × 11 mm aluminium body weighs only 90 g; a rubber contact surface and locating video pin help keep a DSLR or camcorder secure. A 1/4″-20 camera screw and 3/8″-16 adapter bushing are supplied. The 501PLONG variant is intended for rigs that need a longer balancing range.
