The P200 quick-release plate clamp system eliminates that bottleneck, letting you move your camera between setups in seconds — no tools, no fumbling, no wasted shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach set includes one P200 quick-release clamp base and one quick-release plate. Both are CNC-machined from aluminium alloy for a rigid, lightweight build. The plate measures 120 mm × 75 mm × 22 mm (approximately 4.7\" × 3.0\" × 0.87\") and weighs 266 g (≈9.4 oz). The clamp base accepts both UNC 1\/4\" and UNC 3\/8\" camera screws and mounts to equipment via two 3\/8\" and five 1\/4\" threaded holes on its underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include run-and-gun video production where the camera moves between a fluid head tripod and a handheld gimbal stabiliser, studio photography setups that share one camera body across a tripod and a slider rail, and field work where a quick-release plate for DSLR or mirrorless cameras needs to stay mounted between shoots. The 577-standard dovetail interface makes this clamp a direct fit for Manfrotto 577, 500AH, 701HDV, 503HDV, and Q5 fluid heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

It is also generally compatible with other tripod heads, stabilizers, and slider rigs that use the same dovetail interface. If your head uses a different standard (such as Arca-Swiss), this clamp will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I choose the right screw size for my camera?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost consumer DSLR and mirrorless cameras use a UNC 1\/4\"-20 tripod socket — this is the smaller of the two screws included. Larger professional video cameras and some cinema rigs typically use a UNC 3\/8\"-16 socket. Check the bottom of your camera body: the 1\/4\" hole is approximately 6.35 mm in diameter, while the 3\/8\" hole is approximately 9.5 mm. Both screws are included in the package, and spare screw storage holes are built into the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the load capacity of the P200 clamp?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P200 clamp is rated for a load range of 2–5 kg (approximately 4.4–11 lbs).

The CNC-machined aluminum alloy body is durable and generally corrosion-resistant for typical outdoor shooting conditions. It is not rated for submersion or prolonged exposure to rain.
