Leofoto QP-38 38mm Arca Swiss Style Plate

Leofoto QP-38 38mm Arca-Swiss Style Quick Release Plate is a compact, always-ready mounting solution for photographers and hybrid creators who want a secure, low-profile Arca workflow across tripods, heads, and clamps. It's built for real-world shooting where fast setup matters-travel, street, landscape, studio, and lightweight video rigs.

As part of Leofoto's premium support accessories, the QP-38 is designed to sit neatly under mirrorless and compact camera bodies, cages, and small rigs while keeping your kit fully Arca-Swiss compatible.

Performance & Benefits

A quick release plate is only as good as its repeatability. The QP-38 is precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium to deliver consistent fit in an Arca-Swiss clamp, helping you lock in quickly and return to the same balance point with confidence.

The compact 38mm square footprint keeps your setup tidy and centred, which is especially useful when you're moving between handheld and tripod work. With less bulk under the camera, it's easier to pack, less likely to snag in a bag, and more comfortable for everyday carry.

For stability-focused shooting-long exposures, careful framing, or controlled video-the high-grip, anti-twist rubberised top surface increases friction at the camera base to reduce unwanted rotation during adjustments. This helps maintain composition when you're fine-tuning angle and level on a ball head or tripod head.

The stainless steel 1/4"-20 mounting screw is designed for dependable, long-term use, while the cleanly machined edges promote smooth engagement and release-so your Arca-Swiss plate feels predictable every time you clamp down.

Finished in black and silver to match modern camera bodies and support gear, the QP-38 keeps your rig looking streamlined and professional, whether it lives on your camera full-time or rotates between accessories.

Practical Details

In the field, the QP-38's minimal size makes it an easy "leave it on" choice-ideal when you want instant compatibility with Leofoto clamps and most third-party Arca-type systems without adding noticeable weight. At just 0.015 kg, it won't shift the feel of a compact camera or small cage, and it keeps packing simple for travel.

The 38 x 38mm format offers a balanced platform for smaller bodies, helping you centre the camera on a ball head, gimbal head (via a clamp), or other tripod accessories that accept the Arca-Swiss standard dovetail. The result is a cleaner workflow when swapping between tripod, monopod, and support setups.

Clamp-in action is straightforward: slide or drop into an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp, tension down, and you're ready to shoot. The precisely machined dovetail is designed for smooth, repeatable engagement, which is especially helpful when you're making quick adjustments on location and want consistent lockup.

For a compact, dependable connection point that integrates cleanly with your Arca-Swiss clamp and tripod head setup, the Leofoto QP-38 delivers stable support and a reliable quick-release workflow-an easy match for creators building a streamlined Leofoto Australia kit.
