Manfrotto 200PL 2 Arca Swiss

thingiverse

This is a connector for a Manfrotto 200PL tripod head to an Arcaswiss clamp WITH ARCASWISS MALE DOVETAIL IN THE BACK. It was made with in mind the use of a simple tripod head like 128RC and a camera that's just been removed from a modern gimbal and has its Arca plate on the bottom oriented 90 degrees to the optical axis Quite commonly you can find arca clamps that have the dovetail at the base, it's oriented 90 degrees so the clamp can be used as a XY if connected to another one. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-10078707-Compatibile-Arca-Swiss-Dimensione/dp/B00KNPITI2/ref=sr_1_37? This small remix of the 200PL copy allows to use small video heads like the 128RC without removing or changing orientation to the arca plate you are using. The dovetail needs to be sloppy, it's just for centering the arca clamp. The arca clamp needs a 1/4"screw to be locked in place
