Lens Plates - Features
Dual Safety Stops
Safety stops at the front and back of our plates keep your expensive lens from accidentally slipping out of the quick-release clamp. If you wish to use only one or neither of these stops, simply remove them with the hex key provided.
Note: The two stop screws will straddle the length of most quick-release clamps. However, the stop screws do limit the amount of forward-backward adjustment available. Wimberley quick-release clamps have special channels that solve this problem.
Flash Bracket Versatility
Our plates are designed to accept RRS & Kirk flash brackets as well as our own quick-release flash brackets.
Wimberley flash brackets attach to the top of the plate or the bottom.
Double-Dovetail Cross-Section
The unique double-dovetail design allows you to attach Wimberley quick-release flash brackets to the upper or lower surface of the plate.
Anti-Twist Nubs
The P-10, P-20, and P-30 plates have anti-twist nubs at the back of the plate. These help to keep the plate from twisting if it is mounted with only one fastener. The unique dual-nub design (as opposed to a single continuous flange) provides better performance when butted against a curved surface. The P-40 and P-50 plates do not have anti-twist nubs because they should be attached with more than one screw.
The P10 plate is for use with the following lenses:

Note for Sigma Lenses:
The above recommendations assume that the standard factory foot is installed on the lens. It has come to our attention that Sigma sometimes installs their larger TS-41 Replacement Collar and Foot on their lenses. We suggest that you measure the length of the foot on your lens to make sure that our suggested plate is correct (the plate should be about 1" longer than the foot on your lens).
