This Q-Base II Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release Clamp from Novoflex can be used to adapt an Arca-type quick release plate to a tripod head, tripod, stand, or support device. A steel bushing is installed within the center of the clamp so that it can be adapted to a 1/4"-20 mount. The bushing can be removed, allowing direct attachment to tripod heads that feature a 3/8"-16 mount.
Arca-type compatible quick release plates can be attached or removed from the Q-Base II by using its rotating lock lever, which features a safety catch to help prevent a compatible plate from accidentally disconnecting. Also, within the recessed surface between the clamp's jaws is a retaining pin. This pin helps prevent an optional installed Novoflex Q-System quick release plate or another installed Arca-type compatible Q-System component from accidentally sliding off when the safety catch is engaged.
Constructed from aluminum alloy with brass and steel, this clamp is durable while remaining lightweight and includes a built-in bubble level.

Is this compatible with RRS plates?
Is this compatible with RRS plates?
RRS quick-release plates are only guaranteed to work with RRS QR clamps, but since they are Arca-type and so is the Novoflex Q-Base II Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release Clamp, they should be compatible.

does this come with a plate?
No, the Novoflex Q-Base II Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release Clamp does not include a quick release plate with its purchase. You would need to purchase a separate Arca-type quick release plate as a separate optional accessory. We do have options under the "Accessories" tab on our website with compatible plates, such as the Novoflex QPL-1 Arca-Type Quick Release Plate for Q-Base System, 1.7" Long - with 1/4-20" Screw, B&H # NOQPL1, or the Oben QR-20 Quick Release Plate, B&H # OBQR20.

Is this compatible with the Arca-Swiss Monoball ...
Is this compatible with the Arca-Swiss Monoball P0? I want to replace the SlideFix plate with one that accepts the more universal Arca-Swiss baseplates.
If you buy or have the Arca Swiss P0 base, this should screw on no problem.
