Amended Review

I reviewed this before I had the chance to field test it extensively (I only tested it briefly at home). I discovered two engineering issues: 1) the 15mm rods are not centered properly preventing the use of any accessories being attached to those rods, and 2) the quick release plate tightening knob does not tighten the plate completely causing the camera to slide. I RMAd this.

Can you please check if this works with the 8Sinn 5" Arri dovetail? I ask because one review of that dovetail says it won't fit someone's plate. Thank you https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1571167-REG/8sinn_8_5adp_5_arri_dovetail_plate.html

Yes, the 8Sinn 5" ARRI Dovetail Plate can mount above the Niceyrig Manfrotto QR Plate Kit with 15mm Dual-Rod Clamp using the Manfrotto QR plate 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws to attach the 8Sinn 5" ARRI Dovetail Plate.
