Leofoto PU-130D 130mm Arca Swiss Style Plate

The Leofoto PU-130D is a professional-grade 130mm Arca-Swiss style quick release plate, precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy for maximum strength and security. Its extended 130mm length and 38mm width provide a stable mounting surface that is ideal for balancing telephoto lenses, large camera bodies, or professional video rigs on ball heads and gimbals. Finished with a hard-anodised black coating to resist scratches and corrosion, this plate offers a slim, lightweight profile that remains travel-friendly while ensuring a rock-solid connection for demanding professional environments.

To ensure universal compatibility, the PU-130D comes equipped with both a 1/4″-20 and a 3/8″-16 mounting screw, allowing it to connect to virtually any camera or lens collar. The dual-screw design is critical for preventing twisting or loosening under heavy loads, providing a secure grip that reduces the risk of slippage. Fully compliant with the Arca-Swiss universal standard, it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without the need for proprietary adapters. Whether you are adjusting weight distribution for a long lens or securing a complex gear setup, the PU-130D delivers the precision and versatility required for high-end photography and filmmaking.

Product Features in Detail

Extended 130mm Balancing Surface

The 130mm length provides significant room for forward and backward movement within a tripod clamp. This is essential for finding the center of gravity when using heavy telephoto lenses or front-heavy video rigs, ensuring smooth operation on gimbal or fluid heads.

Dual-Screw Security System

Unlike shorter plates that use a single point of contact, the PU-130D includes both 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 screws. Utilizing two mounting points simultaneously prevents the camera or lens from rotating on the plate, a vital feature when shooting in portrait orientation or under heavy vibration.

Universal Arca-Swiss Compatibility

Designed to be the backbone of your support system, the PU-130D is fully compatible with the Arca-Swiss dovetail standard. It works flawlessly with almost all professional quick-release clamps, ball heads, and gimbal systems, allowing for a standardized workflow across all your gear.

Precision CNC-Machined Aluminium

Every plate is carved from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminium alloy using high-precision CNC machining. This ensures perfectly flat surfaces and exact tolerances, providing a much higher degree of stability and vibration resistance compared to cast-metal alternatives.

Tool-Free Installation Options

The included mounting screws feature both D-rings for quick hand-tightening and hex key slots for a more permanent, high-torque installation. This flexibility allows you to make rapid adjustments in the field without needing to hunt for tools.

Professional Hard-Anodised Finish

The plate undergoes a hard-anodisation process that creates a deep, matte black finish. This surface treatment is not only aesthetic; it provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion, oxidation, and the scratches that commonly occur from repeated mounting in metal clamps.
