Wimberley P40 Overview

Wimberley's quick release plates for lenses are made of silky-smooth anodized aluminum. They fit all the Arca-type quick release adapters, made by many different companies such as Arca-Swiss, Foba, Graf/Studioball, Gitzo, NPC and of course Wimberley. The plate has drilled holes to accept flash brackets from Wimberley, Kirk & Really Right Stuff.

Note: The following lenses have 3/8" threads, and require a "reducing bushing" (#GBRB) to fit the plate:

Lens Bushing
Canon 500mm f/4 IS x1
Leica Modular 280mm to 560mm x1
Leica Modular 400mm to 800mm x1

Dual Safety Stops
The safety stops at the front & back of the Wimberley P40 plate prohibit your lens from accidentally slipping out of the quick release adapter(easily removed with supplied hex wrench if desired).
Double-Dovetail Cross-Section
The Wimberley double-dovetail design allows attachment of their Shape Shifter flash bracket system to the upper or lower surface of the P40 plate.
Works with All Common Flash Brackets
Drilled holes accept flash arms from Kirk & Really Right Stuff
Combine with two Module 1 Quick Release Arms(B&H item code "WIM1") for a brilliant support base for using your long lens atop a beanbag

Quality product

I was unsure of which quick release plate to use with the WH-200, I went with the Wimberely plate because I trust the quality as well as compatibility. Wimberely has a nice plate chart on their website showing which plate to use on which lens broken down by manufacturer.

Can't go wrong with Wimberley

Always high quality, precision equipment from Wimberley. Put it on and forget about it. It's just that good.

Asked by: Tim
The Wimberley P40 Quick Release Plate (B&H# WIQRPP40) may be used with fewer screws than those that come with it by sliding unwanted screws to one end of the slot and unscrewing them, as shown here: https://bit.ly/43UmqcY

The Wimberley P40 Quick Release Plate is not compatible with the Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens (Canon RF). I would recommend the Wimberley P-35 Quick Release Lens Plate instead: https://bhpho.to/2GjLcrb.
