Will this plate be interchangeable with a Peak Design Capture clip?
Asked by: Rich
Peak Design Capture Clips are Arca Compatible. This head does not accept Arca Plates as is. However you could always mount a product like the Sunwayfoto Arca Clamp to the top of this head. From there it would be compatible with Arca plates like the Peak Design Capture Clip. https://bhpho.to/2b47Qpc

Arca Swiss compatible?

Arca Swiss compatible?
Asked by: Anonymous
Are you asking about the use of a different clamp (quick release) than the sliding mounting plate supplied? You could screw the quarter twenty of an Acra Swiss plate into the Komodo's sliding release plate, but you can not swap it out with another. Ask Adroama that question since they sell Arca Swiss mounts.
