The PX4 4.5" Arca-Type Double Dovetail Plate with SS2 Quick Release Adapter Port from ProMediaGear is a CNC machined T6061 aluminum plate with adjustable safety stops for telephoto lens feet. The stops move according to the length of the foot and prevent the lens foot from twisting upon the plate. The 1/4"-20 mounting screw slides within the slotted channel to allow the balancing of the plate against the lens foot while mounted on a head. Additionally, the adapter port is compatible with SS2 adapters and quick disconnect straps.

ProMediaGear PX4 Reviews
Excellent Plate / Value
Using on Nikon 180-600 mm. Like that it has ruled markings making putting it back on my gimbal accurately at its center of gravity fast and easy.
Best Quick Release System Around
Everyone who uses a tripod should be using ARCA compatible plates for quick release attachment to and removal from the tripod. In addition, the ProMediaGear Quick Release system is the best quick release system on the market. You press a button to attach the camera or lens plate to your camera strap, and you press it again to remove it. You can't press the button accidentally, but you do check it every time you attach it. They have QR adapters for other brand straps as well. When I'm shooting in the field with a lens that has a foot and will take a lens plate I prefer to connect the lens plate to the QR strap rather than the L-bracket to avoid stress on the camera lens mount, and because it balances better. The only thing I don't like is that ProMediaGear doesn't treat its QR system as a system and won't make custom fit L-brackets for older cameras that are still in wide use, so with my 5DSR I have to use a PMG generic L bracket and have to remove the vertical section every time I need to change batteries in the grip.
