Automatic Quick Release System for Arca Style Plates
Now, for the first time, the Arca system becomes a quick release system rather than a quick mount-
ing system—and it operates with one hand! As soon as a camera or lens with an Arca style plate
touches the Q=Base, the base snaps closed, eliminating any possibility of the equipment falling off
the base. Besides closing automatically, the Q=Base has a built-in sliding focusing rail feature that
allows the camera or lens to slide front to back for precise positioning after it is in the Q=Base. A
large knurled base ring locks it securely in place. Built-in safety stops prevent plates from traveling
too far. Novoflex also offers a full range of plates for camera and lenses. Plates are available in a
variety of lengths and with 1, 2, or more screws. Virtually all currently available Arca style plates fit the Q=Base.

QPL-VERTIKAL
Angle Bracket for Q=Base
The QPL-VERTIKAL angle bracket enables a
lightning fast change-over
from the standard
horizontal
position to a
vertical pic-
ture mode.
Therefore it
is no longer
necessary to
make re-adjustment,
when changing from horizontal to vertical as
you now will keep on working in the same
optical axis. It also works with a winder or
motor drive on the camera. For convenience,
the bracket has a 1/4˝ thread for attaching to
a tripod.

Q=PLATE Quick Release Plates
Fitting to the Q=Base, Novoflex offers a variety of individual removable plates. Q=PLATES are
offered in different lengths, with one or more anti-twist screws. The Q=PLATES use the special
safety pin of the Q=BASE to prevent the plates from slipping out of the base. So they have a
built-in focusing rail function with the longer plates.
