LEOFOTO NP-65 Arca-Swiss Dovetail Compatible Camera Mount with Stainless Steel Screw

As a professional photographer, I think I've tried every type of camera strap out there and I kept getting disappointed. I had an extra single point sling for one of my rifles and it had a QD attachment point. I thought it would make a great strap and I was right. This plate allowed me to maintain my ArcaSwiss capability on my tripod, but also have a very secure attachement point when wearing the strap. Exactly what I needed. 5-stars because it does what it is meant to do. Just wish it had a secondary screw point to really lock in the plate.

More than I expected for the money. The QD mount is solid and secure. Finish is good, and machining quality is very good. The attachment screw finger loop looked weak in the pics, but works great. I now have two of these plates, one on my issue camera and one on a personal camera.

Great little plate solidly made. The rubber on the top really secures it to the camera very well. I use the QD socket system too so I can attach my strap to the bottom of the camera or lens foot. Highly recommended especially if you use the QD system.

I am fully standardizing my kit on Arca-Swiss tripod mounts and QD carry strap connections, and this all-in-one plate from Leofoto fits my needs perfectly. I like to leave my plates attached to my camera and I find the aesthetics of this plate to be sleek and minimal compared to many other Arca-Swiss plates that are thicker and tend to look more blocky. The built-in D-ring makes quick tightening or full removal so easy with no need to fumble for tools or coins, and the built-in QD socket seals the deal. Every camera plate should be so well designed!

These are the least expensive arca-swiss compatible plates with a QD socket that are available. They are very well made and well worth the $19 I paid. Buy them if you need them.
