PGYTECH Action Camera Arca-Type Quick Release Plate for Gopro, Insta360, DJI Osmo Action/Pocket and Most Action Cameras

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.

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.

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 rattling2. 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 clipFor 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.

Very well built and sturdy, but I had to use a bench grinder to shave down the sides in order for it to fit into the snap-lock on my tripod. Also had to grind the snap-lock mechanism itself. Not a huge deal. Unless you don’t have a bench grinder or angle grinder!

Good
