The ARCA-SWISS System
Quick-Release Systems & Camera Plates
Classic & FlipLock Quick-Release Systems
These quick-release systems (Quick Set Devices) feature a double dovetail profile, allowing all Arca-Swiss camera plates to be clamped (Classic, FlipLock, and MonoballFix). Arca-Swiss view cameras can be mounted directly on these quick-release systems without any additional accessories.
Compatible with: Classic camera plates & MonoballFix camera plates
Dovetail width: 38mm
MonoballFix Quick-Release System
These quick-release systems feature a MonoballFix dovetail profile. They are lighter and more compact than the other quick-release systems, making them particularly suitable for mirrorless system cameras such as the Sony 7R, 7R II, and others.
Compatible with: MonoballFix camera plates
Dovetail width: 26mm
Adapter MonoballFix auf Classic
This adapter allows MonoballFix camera plates to be clamped into the dovetail of Classic & FlipLock quick-release systems. This is particularly useful for older Arca-Swiss heads that do not have a MonoballFix quick-release system.
Monorails
The Arca-Swiss Monorails can be clamped onto all Arca-Swiss quick-release systems. They are compatible with the MonoballFix quick-release system. Arca-Swiss Monorails can be mounted directly onto these quick-release systems without any additional accessories.
Monorails & Optische Bank
The Monorail, in combination with an optical bench, can be clamped into all Classic & FlipLock quick-release systems.
With the MonoballFix quick-release system, the use of an optical bench is not possible, but you can clamp the Monorail directly.
