The Leofoto PL-62N 62mm Anti-Twist Flange Arca Plate is the ideal solution for photographers seeking a secure, low-profile and highly versatile quick release plate. Designed to provide a rock-solid connection between your camera or lens and any Arca-Swiss compatible support system, the PL-62N combines premium materials, thoughtful engineering and practical features into one compact accessory.
Precision CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, the PL-62N delivers exceptional strength while remaining incredibly lightweight. The durable hard-anodised finish provides excellent resistance against scratches, corrosion and daily wear, ensuring years of reliable performance whether you’re working in the studio or photographing in challenging outdoor environments.
Unlike standard flat camera plates that can allow slight movement over time, the PL-62N features an adjustable anti-twist flange that braces securely against the camera or lens foot. This dramatically reduces unwanted rotation, giving photographers greater confidence when shooting with heavier lenses, capturing long exposures, creating panoramas or working on uneven terrain. Once installed, your equipment remains firmly locked in position, maintaining perfect alignment even during demanding use.
Measuring 62mm in length, the PL-62N offers an excellent balance between compact size and generous mounting support. Its universal design makes it suitable for a wide variety of DSLR and mirrorless cameras, telephoto lens feet and other photographic accessories equipped with a standard 1/4″-20 mounting thread. The integrated Arca-Swiss dovetail profile ensures seamless compatibility with virtually all Arca-style ball heads, gimbal heads, panorama heads and quick release clamps from Leofoto and other leading manufacturers.
Installation is quick and convenient thanks to the included stainless steel 1/4″-20 mounting screw, while a built-in magnetic hex wrench is discreetly stored within the plate itself. This clever feature means you’ll always have the correct tool on hand for tightening or adjusting the plate without needing to carry additional tools in your camera bag.
For added security, the PL-62N incorporates a retractable safety stop mechanism that helps prevent the plate from accidentally sliding out of compatible quick release clamps if they are inadvertently loosened. This provides valuable peace of mind when working with expensive camera equipment in fast-paced shooting environments.
Leofoto has also incorporated practical carrying features into the PL-62N, including both a traditional camera strap slot and an integrated QD (Quick Disconnect) socket. This allows photographers to attach compatible slings, hand straps or QD carrying systems directly to the plate, offering greater flexibility while keeping the camera securely connected during transport.
Weighing only approximately 50 grams, the PL-62N adds virtually no noticeable weight to your camera while significantly improving mounting security and workflow efficiency. Whether you’re regularly switching between handheld shooting and tripod work, photographing wildlife with large telephoto lenses, capturing landscapes, or shooting commercial work in the studio, the PL-62N provides a dependable foundation for stable, vibration-free photography.
Designed to Leofoto’s renowned manufacturing standards, the PL-62N is an essential upgrade for photographers who demand maximum reliability, fast operation and uncompromising compatibility with the Arca-Swiss quick release system.
