Manfrotto 410 Extended adapter plate for Arca Swiss

Manfrotto 410 conversion plate. This is extended version.  Clamp center is located on Manfrotto 410 camera/lens mount axis and it is the same as the head panning base. In other words, if you look down through the 3/8 mount hole on the 410 it is the exact center of the bottom panning control. When the head is panned both the head and camera/lens rotate around the same axis. For distant subjects original Manfrotto arrangement for this gear head is just an inconvenience. But for critical panoramic or most especially macro work this is a killer and makes the 410 useless. Using this adapter plate/clamp combination you can enjoy your pano and macro photography again.

Plate Specification:

• 4.550 inch long.
• 2.560 inch wide.
• 0.625 inch thick.
• Weight 3.6 oz (180 g)
