We set out to design a simple Arca-Swiss style universal plate that provides the same quality of construction, solid connection, and anti-twist characteristics of custom plates.

The result is the P-5 Universal Camera Body Plate.

The P-5 features a thin layer of dense, textured rubber o­n its top surface. This coating grips the bottom of your camera, but is so dense and thin that it maintains the solid feel of a metal-to-camera connection.

Beneath the rubber, the top surface of the plate is machined to ensure that the frictional force is concentrated o­n the outer portions of the plate. This provides the maximum mechanical advantage to resist twisting.
