Benro Arca Type Clamp 40x49x15mm

The Benro Arca Type Clamp 40x49x15mm is a rugged, industry-standard mounting accessory engineered to provide a rock-solid mechanical connection between your camera gear and support systems. Precision-machined from high-grade aluminum alloy, this clamp focuses on structural durability and unyielding holding power.

Featuring a traditional, high-torque screw-knob locking design, it allows photographers to manually apply massive clamping force to secure any standard Arca-type quick release plate, L-bracket, or rig cage. It serves as a highly reliable replacement, upgrade, or custom DIY adapter plate for ball heads, pan-tilt heads, or video sliders.

Product Features in Detail

Reliable Manual Screw-Knob Locking Style
The clamp utilizes a classic screw-knob mechanical lock that gives you total, tactile control over the clamping pressure. Unlike lever-style quick releases that can snap loose if caught on clothing or a gear strap, the threaded screw knob requires deliberate manual rotation, ensuring your camera rig stays locked down under heavy load.

Universal Arca-Type Plate Compatibility
Designed to fit seamlessly within the industry's most popular mounting ecosystem, this clamp accepts Arca-type quick release plates, custom L-brackets, and video cages from Benro and a massive array of third-party manufacturers. This cross-brand compatibility makes it easy to swap camera bodies between different support systems on set.

Structural High-Grade Aluminum Construction
Machined entirely from structural-grade aluminum, the clamp is built to withstand heavy daily use, field impacts, and extreme weather conditions without warping, cracking, or stripping threads. The anodized surface treatment protects the metal from scratches and corrosion, maintaining smooth operation over years of field use.

Counter-Sunk 3/8"-16 Female Mounting Thread
The center base of the clamp is detailed with a counter-sunk 3/8"-16 threaded mounting socket. This industry-standard socket allows you to mount the clamp flat onto tripod stems, camera sliders, panoramas, or custom DIY rigs, with the counter-sunk recess keeping the mounting screw completely flush to avoid blocking your quick release plate.

High-Traction Ergonomic Grip Profile
The locking screw knob is engineered with a heavily textured, high-friction outer edge. This ergonomic design provides an excellent tactile grip, allowing you to tighten or loosen the clamp securely in freezing temperatures, damp environments, or while wearing heavy winter field gloves.

Precision Laser-Etched Center Index Marks
The jaw of the clamp features permanent, highly visible laser-etched alignment markings along its top surface. These center index lines allow you to precisely align nodal slides, panoramic gear, or multi-shot rail systems, making it simple to repeat exact physical framing layouts across multiple shooting setups.
