SmallRig 5365 Arca-Type Mount Plate Kit w/ 15mm Dual Rod Clamp

SmallRig 5365 Arca-Type Mount Plate Kit w/ 15mm Dual Rod Clamp | Bring a rod-based rig to a tripod setup

The defining decision is to bring an Arca-type mount plate and a 15mm dual rod clamp together in one tripod accessory. That pairing gives a camera rig a tripod-facing mounting point alongside a place for a two-rod setup. It’s aimed at filmmakers and photographers who move between tripod-framed shots and a rig built around rods, rather than someone looking for a simple plate alone. For an interview, for example, the Arca-type plate can serve as the tripod connection; the rod clamp gives you a way to organise a rod-based rig around that setup. The useful point is how these two mounting roles are brought together, not an extra promise about materials or adjustment features. If your workflow already uses Arca-type mounting and 15mm rods, this SmallRig kit is a focused tripod accessory for joining those parts of your setup.

Planning your rig

It helps to think about where the tripod connection and the rods need to sit before building out the camera setup. For a locked-off shot, position the tripod connection for the framing you want; when you’re arranging a rod-based rig, plan around the clamp’s two-rod layout. That makes this kit most relevant when both mounting approaches have a place in your work. It isn’t a general-purpose tripod head or a replacement for the rest of your rig: its role is specific to the plate-and-clamp arrangement.
