Tilta Universal ARCA Quick Release Baseplate - Black

The Tilta Universal ARCA Quick Release Baseplate is a small quick release base for 38mm Arca-Swiss standard plates. The locking lever is adjustable, so the clamp can be tuned for plates, cages and L-brackets from other brands that deviate slightly from the standard. The underside carries 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, and the shape of the seat keeps the camera correctly oriented. The whole base weighs 45 g.

Arca-Swiss quick release is the most widespread way of getting a camera onto a tripod and off again. This base adds it to anything with a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 thread — and weighs 45 grams doing it.

Key features

38mm Arca standard

The jaws take 38mm Arca-Swiss standard quick release plates, Tilta and DJI plates included. The plate drops in from above and is locked with a knurled knob.

Small and light

67 × 38 × 18.6 mm and 45 g. The base can stay on a cage or a tripod head permanently without showing up in the weight of the rig.

Adjustable lock

The clamping width is set by the adjustable lock, so plates, cages and L-brackets from other brands fit too, even when their Arca profile is not exactly to size.

1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads

The underside carries both common tripod threads. The shape of the seat prevents twisting, so the camera stays straight once tightened.

Good to know

The base suits tripod heads that lack an Arca clamp, but also cages, suction cups and articulating arms with a 1/4"-20 thread.

Among Tilta accessories it takes Tilta Standard Lightweight dovetail plates and the Tilta ARCA/Manfrotto quick release plate (TA-DQRP-B).
