Quick Release Plates
Wimberley’s line of Arca-Swiss style quick release plates for collared lenses offer a host of
innovative features that separate them from other plates on the market. They have safety
stops at the front and back of the plate to prevent your expensive lens from accidentally
slipping out of the quick release clamp, and are long enough so that there is enough distance
between the two stop screws to straddle the length of most quick release clamps.
Quick Release Clamps
Replacement Feet
These custom
low-profile
replacement feet
lower the center
of gravity of
large lenses and
make them
easier to pack.
The replacement feet have the same dual safety
stops and flash bracket compatibility as
Wimberley’s lens plates. They are milled to slide
right into an Arca-Swiss style quick-release
clamp, and also have 1/4˝ and 3/8˝ tapped holes
for mounting to non-quick-release tripod heads
and monopods. All tools needed to replace your
existing lens foot are included.
AP-452

the lens by about 2˝ .....................................78.95
AP-553
(WIFN500): for Nikon 500 f/4 AF-S I/ II,
and 200-400 f/4 AF-S VR. Lowers the overall
height of the 500 f/4 by about 2˝ and 1.25˝ for
the 200-400 f/4 .............................................78.95
AP-652
(WIFN600): For Nikon 600 f/4 AF-S I (the
600 f/4 AF-S II uses AP-452). Lowers the overall
height of the lens by about 1˝.....................78.95
AP-602
(WIFC600): For Canon 400 f/2.8 IS and
600 f/4 IS. Lowers the overall height of the lens

◆ A double dovetail cross-section allows you to attach
Wimberley’s flash brackets to the upper or lower sur-
face of the plate.
◆ They accept RRS & Kirk flash brackets as well as
Wimberley’s own quick-release flash brackets.
◆ Slots accommodate multiple fasteners and fastener
positions to orient the plate on the lens foot to best fit
your needs. Hang the plate off the front or back of the
lens foot to attach flash brackets to the plate.
Adjust the position to best suit the balance point of
your lens. Since the plates are universal, you don’t have
to buy a new plate if you switch to a different lens.
◆ Each plate comes with the hex key needed to
attach the plate to your lens, safety stop
screws for the front and back of the plate,
and the hex key necessary to install the
safety stop screws. The plates attach to your
lens with 1/4˝ captive fasteners.
◆ The P-10, P-20, and P-30 plates have
anti-twist nubs at the back of the plate to
keep the plate from twisting if it is mounted
with only one fastener. The larger P-40 and
P-50 plates don’t, because it is assumed that
they will be attached with multiple fasteners.
P-10 (WIQRPP10): 3.3˝..............51.95
P-20
(WIQRPP20): 3.9˝..............51.95
P-30
(WIQRPP30): 4.4˝..............54.95
P-40
(WIQRPP40): 5.9˝..............57.95
P-50
(WIQRPP50): 6.5˝..............57.95
Wimberley’s quick release clamps have a unique
tongue-in-pocket design that protects internal
parts from dust and grit. The tongues are nearly
twice as long as those on conventional Arca-Swiss
style clamps. This added length counteracts the ten-
dency of the moving jaw of the clamp to hinge backward
during clamping, thus keeping the jaws aligned with the geometry of the plate
and eliminating unwanted bending forces on the threaded stud.
◆ There is a stop screw located on the end of the stud. This screw keeps the knob and
internal workings of the clamp captive.
◆ Two shallow channels extend from the sides of the clamp and stop just short of the
central tapped hole. These channels allow greater fore-aft adjustment when using
the safety stops on Wimberley quick-release plates.
C-10 Quick-Release Clamp
(WIQRCC10)
The C-10 clamp is 2.5˝ long, and has a
central 3/8˝ threaded hole that can be
used to fasten it to a tripod or any
equipment requiring a quick-release
clamp. It also has three 1/4˝ threaded
holes, allowing you to use multiple
fasteners or set screws to keep the clamp
from twisting. It includes one set screw
and a wrench making it easy to keep the
clamp from twisting, and a 3/8˝ to 1/4˝
brass reducer bushing .....................78.95
C-30 Quick-Release Clamp
(WIQRCC30)
Made specifically for the Wimberley
Head, the C-30 is 4.1˝ long and attaches
with two 3/8˝ stainless steel screws. The
two fasteners prevent it from moving or
twisting once installed. The C-30 comes
with all the hardware and tools needed
to fasten it to the head. You can also
attach the C-30 to other equipment for
applications where you desire a long
clamp. The clamp has three 3/8˝ thread-
ed mounting holes...........................99.95
