Leofoto QP-38 38mm Arca-Swiss Style Plate (Silver)

Description

Overview

Leofoto QP-38 38mm Arca-Swiss Style Quick Release Plate (Silver) is a compact, always-ready Arca-Swiss compatible mounting plate for photographers and hybrid creators who want a clean, low-profile workflow across tripods, heads and clamps. It’s built for real-world shooting where fast setup matters—travel, street, landscape, studio and everyday carry rigs.

As part of Leofoto’s precision accessory range, the QP-38-S integrates seamlessly with an Arca-Swiss clamp on Leofoto ball heads, panning clamps, gimbals and most third-party Arca-type systems—making it an easy upgrade for a consistent quick-release plate standard across your kit.

Performance & Benefits

The QP-38 is designed to reduce friction in your workflow, not your stability. Its full Arca dovetail profile engages smoothly in compatible clamps for confident lockup and repeatable positioning—ideal when you’re moving between handheld and tripod work or swapping bodies on the same support.

For long exposures and precise framing, the plate’s secure interface helps minimise micro-movement at the camera-to-head connection. That stability is especially valuable when you’re pairing a compact camera with a professional tripod or travel support and want the system to feel “one piece” once clamped.

A high-grip, anti-twist rubberised top surface increases friction against the camera base to help resist unwanted rotation during shooting. This is particularly useful for portrait/landscape reorientation on a ball head or when working quickly in the field.

The centrally mounted stainless steel 1/4"-20 screw is built for repeated tightening and loosening without fuss, while the precisely machined edges promote consistent clamp engagement—so your framing and balance points stay predictable from session to session.

Finished in Silver to suit modern and classic camera bodies, the QP-38 keeps your rig looking clean while delivering the dependable, cross-compatible workflow Leofoto users expect from Leofoto Australia.

Practical Details

With its 38 × 38mm footprint and 15g weight, the QP-38 is well suited to mirrorless bodies, compact cameras, cages and minimalist setups where you want an Arca-Swiss plate that can live on the camera without adding bulk in a bag.

In use, it’s straightforward: leave the plate mounted, then drop into any compatible Arca clamp for fast setup. This is a practical match for creators who alternate between a travel tripod, a studio tripod and different tripod heads and want a single, consistent quick-release plate system.

The low-profile design also helps keep packing simple—less snagging, less protrusion, and fewer parts to remove before stowing your camera. For field adjustments, the grippy top surface and solid screw interface help maintain alignment as you reposition on a tripod head or re-level between shots.
