PGYTECH Action Camera Arca-Type Quick Release Plate, Aluminum Alloy Action Camera Mount for Gopro/Insta360/DJI Osmo Action/Pocket Most Action Cameras, Quick Connecting to Backpacks, Belts and tripods

I purchased this to use with the Beetleclip that's also made by PGYTECH. Couple this with my DJI action camera and another mount for a monopod and I now have a quick release and mount setup. Very nice. There are many different systems out there... probably as good or close enough but in the end you have to "settle" for something and this does the job just fine without compromising quality. Quite happy with it.

The only thing I wish I could do is tighten the connection between the Arca Swiss plate and the connection to my Osmo action 5 pro camera.

This action camera snaplock plate adapter is designed to lock into an Arca-Swiss-compatible tripod mount, then lets you attach a GoPro on top of that, and the balljoint allows a fair bit of adjustment (roll, pitch, yaw) to get your direction perfect. I bought it specifically for using on my Peak Design Capture Clip v3 (which sits on my backpack shoulder strap) and mounting my GoPro "straight" towards the front so I could film our family hikes. Basically, I wanted the same user scenario as their pictures one with the backpack. When other products (and because that's how our shoulders are built) the GoPro faces "outwards" so timelapse and other clips are off-center. This product was supposed to solve that painpoint for me. But it didn't completely. Both this adapter plate and the Peak Capture Clip are Arca-Swiss compatible, so the plate does technically fit into the Clip. But: 1. there is a LOT of allowance between the two, so the plate rattles around significantly even with a slow pace walk around the house, which means the videos and the sound will be marred by that jittering and rattling 2. the plate is not at all compatible with the Clip's locking mechanism, and this means you can't safety lock the plate into the clip mount (which prevents it from falling out or being bumped out) nor can you even insert the plate without first depressing the safety lock button on the clip For the above reasons, I've requested to return the product. I need it to be Capture Clip compatible. (If you're mounting a GoPro on a regular tripod with a mount clamp, this will probably work very well for you.) Please note that the product itself is technically fine and, like other PGYTECH products I own, of respectable build quality. I love that quick pin thing (where it locks the GoPro mount in with just a quarter-turn), far more convenient than the 10-turn GoPro thumbscrew default design. And the balljoint allows more degrees of freedom than other action camera mounts designed to fit in the same scenario: it was quite tight when I received the product, and I assume it should be able to securely hold its position even after months of use.

Worked great with my Go Pro. It doesn't seem compatible with other Go Pro shoe type adaptors. It works great with the PGKY Tech webbing clip and shoe. The ball mount is quite stable holds it's position well.

I bought this for several reasons. First, my backpack straps don't sit in a purely vertical position, and I would be surprised to find a pack where the straps do. So I wanted to be able to adjust the camera angle so it shoots straight ahead, essentially pov. I thought this would do the trick. I was wrong. While it seems well made, the ball extremely tight in the socket. I wouldn't have an issue with that except for the fact you can only adjust it by using an allen wrench...which is something they don't include...and it has to be removed from any mounting plate in order to do so. I would rather be able to adjust the pan and roll while my camera is mounted to and while I'm wearing my backpack, and it's literally impossible to do so. The only think you can adjust is the tilt I was also hoping this would be compatible with my Peak Design Capture Clip v3. It isn't. Not by a long shot. The Arca-type plate is way too thick. The only convenience I could see from this mount would be if I were to use it on one of my tripods, but I don't use my action cams on tripods so I didn't even bother checking the fit in any of my tripod mounts. Like I said, it's well built, which is the only reason I gave it 3 stars, but it's very poorly designed in my opinion. If you want to search for and possibly have to carry an allen wrench so you can adjust it when you need to, and if you want to fork out another $40 for the matching backpack clip, go for it. Personally, I'm just glad I went with a couple of different options to try out when I ordered this, as this one is going to be returned.

Awesome!!!

Very nice product

Not true arca.

Para poner tu cámara de acción en el beetle clip de PGYTECH!!

Bin begeistert von dem Teil. Sitzt sehr stabil in der entsprechenden Halterung. Der Kugelkopf sitzt Bombenfest, man muss die Action Cam mit viel Kraftaufwand verdrehen, was dafür spricht das er lange hält

Ich habe mir dieses Tool geholt um die Actioncam auf verschiedene Stative zu montieren. Leider setzen die Hersteller von Actioncams nicht auf den Arca Swiss Standard. Hier bekommt man eine einfache sehr gut nutzbare Möglichkeit die Actioncam wie eine normale Kamera zu benutzen.

Works good

Platte bei bei allem rein Pgytech, Peak Design etc. Die Kugelhalterung ist noch sehr schwergängig und dementsprechend starr und hält die Kamera. Doch mit der Zeit wird sich das wohl ändern und dann zweifle ich dran, das eine Kamera noch gehalten werden kann.
