A versatile camera and lens plate, the DPG-210R Multi-Purpose Rail from Sunwayfoto is a 7.9" / 200mm-long Arca-type compatible plate featuring a laser-engraved distance scale in millimeters. Cameras or lens can be mounted using one of three 1/4"-20 screws and a sliding backstop provides increased security and control over placement when attached. In addition to the Arca-type dovetail, the plate also features a 1/4"-20 mount in the center for connecting directly to a tripod or head. Additionally, the plate is constructed from T6061 aluminum alloy, features a Type III hard anodized finish, incorporates a circular bubble level into its design, and has a cut-out slot at one end for direct attachment of a camera strap.

Sunwayfoto DPG-210R Reviews
Fits my needs perfectly
Light, simple, and the bubble head is a plus. Already added to my pack. And incredible quality for the price!!
Good for the purpose I chose
I bought a 600 mm Cannon diffractive optics RF lens for use with my R5 camera. Unfortunately, that lens lacks a lens collar and has only one screw hole for attachment to a tripod or a plate. That hole is way too far forward to balance on a gimble or tilting head. The lens is too light to hand hold steadily. Also, it will not focus closely enough to take pictures of small-to-medium birds without defeating the purpose of a long telephoto. This requires the use of extension tubes to compensate. I tried attaching various lens plates to the lens in hopes of correcting the balance problem for use with a gimble head on a steady monopod, but none were long enough. Hence, I ordered the Sunwayfoto CPG-210 in hopes of facilitating use with the gimble. Finally, I was able to achieve balance; however it requires considerable strain on the attachment screw to get it tight enough to hold, given the lack of a second screw. While this fix renders that lens amenable to use with a gimble head, I would recommend to others that they buy Canon' s 800 mm RF lens instead. It is cheaper to achieve 800 mm than the 600 mm, since the Canon 1.4 teleconverter is way to expensive, and at f/11 the 800 mm is a stop faster and and focusses more quickly than the 600 mm with tele-conversion. Also, it's somewhat heavier, making it easier to hand hold and not requiring such a long plate to balance it on a tripod head. (The collapsibility of the heads is useless, since the length of the plates, and the attachment of extension tubes renders the combination substantially longer than the collapsed lenses are anyway.)
