Kirk KLP-525 Overview

The 5.25" Universal Multiuse Lens Plate with QD Socket from Kirk Enterprises is Arca-type compatible with a double-dovetail design that allows it to mount accessories not only to the bottom, but also to the top of the plate. Primarily, the 6061-T6 aluminum plate, which has a durable black and satin silver finish, provides a mounting option for lenses and cameras that do not have a custom-made plate available.

A 90° anti-twist lip prevents the camera or lens from moving while mounted, and one 3/8"-16 and three additional 1/4"-20 mounting sockets are supplied to mount other accessories as well. In addition, dual safety stops on the bottom of the plate prevent the plate from slipping out if a clamp is partially opened by accident, and a QD socket enables you to mount the plate to camera straps utilizing the Quick Disconnect mounting system.

Kirk multi use plate

This plate fit my Canon 200-800 just fine. On Kirks site this exact plate is listed as the plate for the 2-8, but they sell it for a higher price and charge for shipping.

Not what you used to get from Kirk

I have had kirk Plates for Cameras for decades. Arca Plates that were bespoke and made for a specific need. I was sorry to see that this plate came with one screw that fits the lens and a metal tab that you can move around on the plate. It will work but so does a Desmond DCP-140 for 14.00. If Kirk wants me to buid a plate, I'll use someone else that males plates that I need to work on to use.

The Kirk Universal Multiuse Lens Plate with QD Socket (5.25") is not compatible with the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens. A better alternative would be the Oben QR-59 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (5.9"), BH# OBQR59.

Sorry, to bother you again. Is it’s dovetail design compatible with RRS lever release clamp and Ball head BH-55 LR?
Asked by: TSE JEN
According to Really Right Stuff's website, Kirk plates would be compatible for use with Really Right Stuff screw-knob quick release clamps. However, they state that only Really Right Stuff and Wimberley plates and rails are guaranteed to work with Really Right Stuff lever-release clamps.
