Product Highlights:

Manfrotto 501 to Arca Swiss Adapters have become ubiquitous industry standards for mounting cameras to tripods and other equipment. With the Ronin S series gimbals, DJI has popularized the combination of an Arca receiver on top of a Modified 501 plate. While this works perfectly well for their gimbals, it has little additional application. DJI’s plate also requires a very specific, non-standard-size Arca plate to accommodate its clasping mechanism and height clearance.

At Kondor Blue, Kondor Blue's philosophy is to make products as simple and universal as possible. As such, Kondor Blue has created a one-of-a-kind Manfrotto 501 to Arca Swiss Adapter. This feature-rich pivot camera mount combination will provide much more value and versatility than simply a gimbal quick-release plate.

The Arca receiver orientation can be rotated to be parallel or perpendicular to the 501 plate. This becomes especially advantageous when combined with Kondor Blue's line of mirrorless cages that feature Arca quick releases from the cage with the Arca plate oriented parallel to the lens.

The Manfrotto 501 to Arca Swiss Adapter is a pivot camera mount that can also be used with standard 501 tripod heads and includes all of the expected anti-slip safety features.* You can even remove the Arca receiver and use it as a standalone receiver as well, and can be mounted via ¼” 20 bolts. The 501 plate can also be used on its own and features a 2” slot and anti-slip pads to keep your camera securely attached.

With a 4mm built-in hex key, ultra-smooth bearing-guided closure, and laser-etched measurements, 4x4mm front attachment mounts, the Kondor Blue 501/Arca Pivot Camera Mount has all you need to streamline your quick-release plate needs.

*Depending on the tripod the safety stops on 501 may or may not engage.

Dimensions:

  • 200 gm/7 oz
  • 501 Plate: 128mm long
  • Arca Plate: 52mm long
