Smallrig makes a plate that will convert your manfrotto mount to arca

I thought so too until I bought one. Then I found out that Manfrotto actually makes multiple quick release plate types and the small rig doesn’t work with my tripod head 😭

My dad was upgrading his photography equipment for work. He got a Peak Design carbon tripod, some lifter from China, and an actual ARCA Swiss Tripod head (I don’t remember which). The whole reason that he got the ARCA Swiss head was that is was gear driven, so it had the control he needed for photo shoots. The tripod head might be slightly overkill for his small Leica D-Lux.

I have the same Sirui ball head and it's rock solid. I use an FLM tripod and it's such a quality setup for not elite dollars...

I have had my manfrotto for 7 years. Never figured out how to swap the head. No one can find the release. Its an early carbon fiber travel one before the befrees

My Manfrotto plates I need for video also fit into Arca Swiss heads. They purposely made the dovetail angle similar. This way I can use photo tripods as a backup for static camera angles.

Actually I like Manfrotto plates much more

I do not like Arca swiss, too slim and not enough purchase with the body to prevent rolling and unscrewing when tilted sideways. Manfrotto has big and in some cases huce plates.

True. My tripod is an absolute Frankenstein 😅

I invested in 3 Oben QRA-R2 quick release systems, so I can much more quickly and easily switch my camera between tripods and gimbal, etc. So far, really enjoying it, and I’m gonna buy some more!

For heavier rigs (think sigma 70-200 or 60-600mm zoom lenses), I really don't like ball heads, and there's something to be said for the manfroto plates in that they allow a long amount of travel in the direction where the lens points. I absolutely love the manfroto 608 video fluid head, which allows for a continuously adjustable counterbalancing force. I got three of the oben 2491 carbon fiber tripods - without heads, and put two manfroto 608's and a sirui vh1 on them.

Thanks for putting this video out which also then generated some useful comments!

I really like all these helpful little tip videos you do

Putins another head means not keeping it the same way you bought it 😂

I bought a $300 ProMaster tripod from my local photo and hobby store... already had an arca swiss type head. Best tripod I've ever used. Super sturdy and very well built. Buying manfrotto is just for the brand name.

Me personally I like the full fluid heads, but I’m also used to doing cinema, so that’s a lot different from still photos.

Manfrotto make many different heads just pick the one that suits your needs

Agreed 100%

Are you talking about the RC2 quick plate? Peak design sells a plate that’s compatible with arca and rc2

I use that tripod for work daily. Constantly fixing it. Always wants to fall apart. Shut gets stuck. Requires constant maintenance. New manfrotto is not old manfrotto, and the oldie I have for personal use is a Goldie. The 055 sucks.

I think it's funny how you described the MeFoto tripod head because I have a MeFoto carbon fiber tripod that is great and I would compare it to peak designs tripod

Waiting for the panasonic talk

I have had a Manfrotto tripod for years and have never had any problems with it. I put a 222 head on it and it’s great.

I really hate how every ball head manufacturer uses different plates. My tripods stock head will fit my small rig perfectly. The plate that’s attached to my 200-500mm? Too big, plate that I bought to eliminate this issue? Too small 😂

What is hilarious is that Manfrotto is owned by Videndum that owns about 90% of the Western tripod brands. Every brand of theirs has somewhat same basic components but usually incompatible plates. E.g. I have Vinten Vision head but my Manfrotto plates don't fit to it and vice versa. Although, certain entry-level models under these brands are exactly same (Manfrotto-style) products with a different sticker on them (Vinten, Sachtler, Gitzo,..)

Have you tried Acratech heads? Super lightweight, sturdy and heavy duty.

Interesting, I will buy my first tripod next week, after four years into photography, I started to get more serious on it.

Ah yes. Can you please make an instructional video on how to mount an arca Swiss ball head to my Amazon basics tripod?

I disagree, manfrotto is way more solid than arca. Then again it doesn’t look like you’re doing much cinema video nor do you have a need for anything top of the line.

I have the Manfrotto Xpro ball head, but changed the plate to a Novoflex Q=Mount Quick Release clamp and it work great with my Kirk L Bracket.

Well, Arca is so small like a toy...😂 I use a Vinten head with a much bigger and more secure camera-plate like Manfrotto...

I never use a quick release plate. I’ve never had my camera slip off the tripod.

Are you buying the Manfrotto heads that use the RC2 plate? I think you can get those for $20, the same price I'm seeing for arca swiss plates from various companies. The RC2 isn't difficult to use, but I'm in agreeance that since the arca mount is more ubiquitous, it's the way to go. I think I'll be switching out my head so I can also buy the Peak Design capture clip and use one plate for all duties.

Totally agree

Most (good) brands making tripods today do offer just the legs, so you get a customized tripod in the first place

What filter is that in the front? Looks amazing

I am using a lot of iFootage Seastars S1 love those

Yes why manfroto using proprietary mount because those arch swiss 'style' mount products are from those brands who don't care about intellectual property.

I was expecting NDO champ to bust through the door😂

So it's compatible with that peak design plate you're using?

Try benro gx30 ball head, I thinks thats the best head, as it has a weight capacity of 30kg or lb not sure on that but either way still a lot

I drilled holes in mine, so I could add a shoulder strap instead of struggling with the tripod bag it comes with. And my table tripod, so I can just hang it on my belt.

Which camera you recommend to buy for wedding photography in 2023

i did the exact same thing with the same tripod. best of both worlds

Isn’t that a peak design plate? That is not arca swiss? Also manfrotto tripods are arca compatible

Giga Chad arca, Swiss gang

Sirui tripods are so fucking good

I don’t like ball head tripods personally so I’d never switch that out lol

Which Manfrotto is this?

Which manfrotto tripod is that?

I just put an arca swiss adapter

An L bracket is better than a plate

Sirui is good stuff

In my opinion he is one of the best creator in photography ❤

What nd filters do u use?

Why not use a gimbal?

You do if you buy a cheap one

bro, how can I achieve the quality of my videos same like yours? I have Canon EOS M50 Mark II but I am using my Iphone 13 Pro Max cause it can do 4K better. Please let me know

Eos m50 is better than iPhone in most cases as it is not oversharpened like the iPhone is, and the m50 produces more cine-like tones. Whereas the iPhone is over saturated.

Get a better lens, I'd recommend the canon STM 50mm f1.8 with a Viltrox speedbooster ($100+$100) If that's not in the budget then there's the yongnuo 50mm f1.8 + regular EF to EF-M adaptor ($55+$30) For 4k you'll want a very wide angle lens like the 22mm F2.0 because of the large crop factor on the M50, but the 50mm f1.8 is a better (and cheaper) lens if you're willing to shoot from farther away.

@AnthonyGugliotta two things: you buy a Ferrari (Manfrotto) and you swap the carburator (a.k.a. very important part) with a Honda's one because "you don't like it".. ok.. so why didn't you buy a cheap thing from start? And secondly, the very part you've shown, the Peak Design's plate, has two little attachment that can convert that Arca Swiss to a Manfrotto 200PL plate in seconds. And to be clear, against this misinformative videos: a 200PL plate costs 20 bucks. Is that *expensive* for you? Seriously?

This blew my mind… idk why I never thought of this. Thank you!!!

Should look at Really Right Stuff

Ulanzi 😮...buy a Ulanzi

People don’t know you can change the head?

Omg i dont have to keep it as is?!

well smart people buy legs and head separately

Links?

100$ 💀

Me with a 10$ tripod qhich gets the work done

well dah

Only bad photographers buy manfrotto tripods

No. Don't do this. Stick to Manfrotto. It's better.
