FAQs

What is the Manfrotto Xchange Plate used for?

The Xchange Plate is a flat-mount plate with a 3/8" screw, designed to attach securely to heads, sliders, or other accessories. It slots into the Xchange Base and locks into place, allowing fast gear swaps without tools.

Is it compatible with other quick release systems?

The Xchange Plate is specifically made for use with the Manfrotto Xchange Base. It uses a dedicated locking design for tool-free mounting, and while the 3/8" screw is standard, the plate itself must be used with its matching base.

Can it support heavier gear?

Yes. Though compact and weighing just 85g, the plate is made from hard-anodised aluminium and supports setups up to 20kg when used with the full Xchange system.

How does it mount to equipment?

It uses a standard 3/8" screw, making it compatible with most tripod heads, sliders, light fixtures, and other support gear that accept this thread size.
