Know before you buy
The 200PL-14 uses a standard 1/4"-20 screw, which is the universal thread size found on the bottom of nearly all consumer and professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras. As long as your camera has a standard tripod socket, this plate will attach securely.
No, this plate is specifically designed for Manfrotto heads that utilize the RC2 quick-release system. Before purchasing, check your tripod head to ensure it is compatible with the 200PL series mounting system.
Yes, many photographers keep the plate attached to their camera body at all times. Its low-profile rectangular design is unobtrusive and generally does not interfere with battery doors or memory card slots on most camera models.
The 200PL-14 plate itself does not have a built-in safety lock. The security of your camera depends on the locking lever or mechanism on your specific tripod head, so always ensure the head's lever is fully engaged before letting go of your camera.
Having an extra plate allows you to keep one attached to each of your camera bodies or lenses, making it significantly faster to switch between different setups on a single tripod. It is a simple way to streamline your workflow during a shoot.
