Arca Swiss - What is it? Plus Quirks, Pros, and Cons

Detailed, honest and thorough. Well done.

Thumbs up and subscribed !! Excellent detail in this video. Well done

This was so helpful, thanks buddy!

Are you a fellow drummer?

Very well done I learned exactly what I was trying to know
Thanks

Severe nerdery. Top notch video. Subbed. Answered all my questions. Made it to the 9min mark. Can i go further? Ill have another whisky

Amazing. Fknished the video. Super bro

Great video! Thx!)

Thanks for the great info! I appreciate the specific compatibility examples.

The amount of knowledge + the way it's explained is amazing.
Thanks for the amazing content Marcus!

Thank you very much for video. Very informative!

Thanks for providing such a thorough and helpful explanation Marcus. This whole system of plates and clamps was a bit of a mystery to me until now, but after watching your video I feel like I understand it.

Excellent video, thank you for explaining all the details about the system.

Excellent video, great content. With all due respect: that second camera you film yourself with doesn't help your cause at all. Either kill it or look at it when you are talking, otherwise we are staring at your ear. All best.

Excellent presentation with great cutaways and supporting visuals and graphics. Even though I am not a big fan of Arca Swiss hardware and prefer to use dedicated tripod plates (e.g. Manfrotto and Sachtler) for larger cinema cameras, this is an excellent explanation of the pros and cons of the Arca Swiss eco system. Thank you for an excellent, "explainer video" package that exhibits professionalism from beginning to end. And yes, I subscribed to your channel after I watched this video.

Marcus…..I must take the time to compliment you on your thorough and entirely profession approach. Top notch in every way.

This video ROCKS! Thank you for making all my pieces and parts make sense!

Best video I have seen. I have been considering converting my Manfrotto. Now I understand it and will make the change!

For part II : real arca head can use the smaller monoballfix as well... and you also didn't mention L brackets...

Very useful video! Thanks for taking the time

Do full frame Sony include the plates, I find this all so confusing😮? Thx

Great knowledge of the various mounting plates available and their pro's and con's. I didn't know anything about this before seeing this video, thanks.

Thumb bolts. Bolts have threads that go into bores with matching threads, etc while screws are self-tapping and have only a fine or course thread with no real thread size

Finally found someone with all the answers! Thanks so much 🇬🇧

You are only a champion who covered up all small or big tripods with arca-swiss clamp applications. 😁

Thank you for this video!!!

please help me understand. does this mean that if I buy the K&F Concept 28mm Tripod Ball Head With 1/4 Inch, I will be able to connect a plate from Peak Design capture to it? (ps: tkank you for your time)

I could now sleep at night! Awesome video thank you

Great video. I'm looking to get the Ulanzi TT09 VideoGo Travel Tripod and there's the option to choose between Arca Swiss system and the Falcam F38 system. What is the difference between the two and which would you recommend? I'm using a Sony RX10IV.

I don’t trust Arca Swiss. Manfroto’s quick releases are much more secure. I’m probably going to convert all of my equipment to Arca Swiss because my SmallRig cages use it but I’m not happy about it.

Genuinely useful and thoughtful

More small???? Do you mean smaller? (Small, smaller, smallest)

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful.

wow, that was thorough! Thanks!

Very useful. Thank You! i would like to have a similar review for the NATO rails.

Thank you for demystifying the Arca Swiss riddle and why not all of them are not truly compatible-thanks Falcam, Manfrotto and Peak Designs for being difficult🤣... I've ordered so many of these only to find out some won't fit into others. Cheers and thanks again for this video!

The video I needed

Peak Design should probably throw some $$$ your way for this video. Most of their camera products hinge on Arca Swiss but leave many questions unanswered, while your video answers pretty much any question one could have about it. Great job and thanks for your video.

Are not all arca swiss compatible? I bought an L bracket and a receiving clamp, but they do not work together. How can I find a receiving clamp that works with all Arca Swiss plates?

⚡️👑🙌🏻

Have you tried Benro ballhead with Peak Design mount?

thank you, professional and honest

Excellent video. First time I have understood clamp system. I now have a plan to standardise my kit. Thanks

Great overview, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!!

I subbed

Great video thanks. I have a slight problem that you may be able to solve. I have a Manfrotto fluid head to which I have attached a long (120mm)Arca Swiss clamp. Works really well for attaching telephoto lenses with Arca Swiss tripod collar. However, I would like to be able to also attach a camera with L bracket. Obviously when attached to the Manfrotto set up it is facing 90 degrees the wrong way. Is there a small Arca clamp that would fit into the long (120mm) Arca clamp, but facing 90 degrees differently.? Thanks again.

Thank Marcus for this video. As of today December 19th, 2024, this is the most COMPREHENSIVE review Arca Swiss plates and quick releases. You review all the brands like Peak Design, Ulanzi, etc. You also DEMONSTRATE their disadvantages. The BEST!
