Novoflex QPL-1 Overview

The Novoflex Q=Plate series QPL-1 square quick release plate fits any Arca-type quick release system (except the Arca Swiss Flip-Lock). It features a 1/4"-20 camera screw, on a 1.65" square plate that can slip in from any direction.

The bottom edges are dovetailed for smoother loading and unloading from the clamp, as well as less abrasions. The screws of the Novoflex plates work with both traditional flathead screwdrivers as well as 5/32" Allen wrenches.

Note:
The Novoflex Arca-type quick release plates are thinner by the slimmest of margins than Arca-Swiss quick release plates. They are not recommended for use in the Arca-Swiss Flip-Lock quick release clamp.
A finely machined plate for Arca-type quick release clamps.
Q=Plates use the special safety pin of the Q=Base, to prevent the plates from slipping out of the base.

Novoflex QPL-1 Reviews

High Quality

This is a high quality QR plate. I bought it exclusively for Novoflex macro focusing rail. It may not be necessary as Arca Swiss is supposedly a universal specification. I didn't want to take chances. This fits perfectly. Excellent machining. For me a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Good with Rollei Schneider AFD-Variogon

I use this on the foot of my Rollei Schneider AFD-Variogon 60-140mm f/4.6 PQS medium format lens. The Schneider has a pre-tapped screw arrangement on the lens foot that was difficult to mate with a plate. The problem is that the 1/4-20 hole is too close to the 3/8-16 hole. I wanted to secure both to keep the plate from rotating. But the pan heads of any of the standard camera screws I had would overlap, so I had to rethread a smaller screw that I found. Anyhow this plate only includes the 1/4 screw, but it was my best option to add a quick release plate with my Schneider Variogon and also 300mm.

question

Does the Peak Design plate (PROplate from the discontinued Capture PRO) fit this Novaflex Q-mount quick release system?
Asked by: Tim B.
Unfortunately not. Peak Design requires their own plate.
