Our take on the SmallRig Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plate
The SmallRig Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plate is a 68 by 38 by 8 mm aluminum plate with 1/4 inch 20 and 3/8 inch 16 screws. It costs a tracked $19.99, unchanged across three points from August 26 to October 1, 2026.
It follows the Arca standard, so it fits compatible clamps on tripods and heads. The listing recommends pairing it with SmallRig's clamp 2143B, which is a separate purchase. For a streamer, it makes camera swaps faster. Reviews average 4.6 over 198 ratings, a small sample. Plates like this are the cheap part of a rig, so buying a spare for each camera is easy.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
