    This is brilliant! you guys should advertise this, there is no solution like this out there!

      Jose Soriano, actually, there are others out there... some notably better... but they're just not as well marketed or carried (if at all) by dealers.
      I use one sold off eBay directly by a small shop maker myself.
      Contrary to this video, there can definitely be real, useful diff to longer adaper/plate than the one ProMedia makes... that's really more suited to smaller rigs/setups...

    I'm looking for a product that will allow me to do go from the DJI RSC2 onto my arca swiss tripod. Perhaps some kind of quick release plate mounted on my Arca swiss tripod that will accept the standard plate from the DJI gimbal.

    You guys ALMOST accidentally made THE BEST Weebill Lab accessory by creating the PM501 plate. It's a topic that Zhiyun "ambassadors" aren't talking about because they want to sell the Weebill. After recently buying the Weebill, I bought the ultra light and super compact Sony 24mm GM to fly on it. As you probably know, it is the smallest 24mm for full frame cameras on the market. For a lot of reasons, I also use the Peak Design Arca Swiss compatible capture plate on everything. And while the Weebill claims to be an Arca Swiss hybrid, it's not really. No arca swiss plate actually works on it. It's just a way to remove the camera from it's Manfrotto 501 clamp without messing up your balance setting. In reality, the Weebill will only accept Manfrotto 501 plates. So, as a solution I attached a small arca swiss clamp on top of the Weebill's Manfrotto501 clamp/proprietary plate. And while the compact 24mm GMaster Lens combined with my Sony A7III body is way under the Weebill's weight limit, the combination wouldn't balance! After scratching my head in confusion, I threw the 55mm Zeiss lens on the A7III and Weebill. Sure enough, that combo worked. At that point I suspected that the 24mm (and a TON of other lenses) made most camera lens combos a little too top heavy. Now questioning center of gravity as the issue, I removed my aftermarket arca swiss clamp from the Weebill's factory Manfrotto 501 clamp/proprietary plate and then attached my camera/24mm GM lens combo directly to the Weebill's factory Manfrotto 501 clamp/proprietary plate. Sure enough it balanced perfectly, as it was now less top heavy after removing my stacked arca swiss clamp. ENTER THE PM501 SOLUTION! When i first discovered your PM501 plate I was stoked! There was literally nothing else like it and I knew it would lower the cameras center of gravity on the gimbal since I could slide it right into the Weebill's permanently attached Manfrotto 501 clamp, allowing me to attach an arca swiss plate without adding much height. Sure enough the center of gravity was now low enough to balance (but I had to do it with velcro) because your PM501 plate slips and slides all around in the Weebill's Manfrotto 501 clamp. Even with the clamp completely tightened down, it will literally slide right out. Before I start pitching this slight modification of your design to various fabricators, I wanted to bring this to your attention. If you guys could change the slope/angle and width of the PM501's plates sides ever so slightly, so that it would actually clamp down and stay put on the Weebill, you would solve a problem for soooo many content creators. If you really wanted to make the plate perfect, you could also make the PM501's nob just a little smaller too so it would clear the cameras lens when tightening more easily (alternatively putting the plate the opposite direction of the lens doesn't allow the Weebill to slide back far enough to balance because the knob would hit the backside gimbal motor). Putting the knob on the side would also work as opposed to the front, near the lens on the weebill. Ultimately, I can work around the nob though. The PM501 would be product of the year in my mind if it would simply stay put in the Weebill's 501 clamp when the clamp is tightened down. There's no competition, your plate would be the only solution to unlocking 10 times more lenses on the Weebill lab (while still staying within the Weebill Labs weight limits). Within the next couple of weeks, I will be making a RUclips video demonstrating this because somebody (hopefully your company) just needs to modify your design a tad to make THE must-have Weebill accessory!

      M Label Media, hmmm... I just bought the Weebill-S. Wonder if the same is true for that model...
      I was hoping it'd just work w/out adapter w/ the PD dual plate...

    Do you have any kind of solution to use a rc2 plate in a 504AH Manfrotto?

    What is the solution when using Super-telephoto lenses with 6 inch long Arca-Swiss plates. Do you have a hybrid plate or clamp that can be used to mount this to say a Manfrotto 504 Fluid Head?

    Does this work on Ronin SC?

      The Current ones don't work on Ronin SC, we're working on some updated models that will be compatible.
