P-30
Quick-release Lens Plate
Made in USA
The P-30 is a 4.43” long, double dovetail, Arca-Swiss style quick-
release plate. It is used to connect a camera lens, fitted with both a
rotation collar and tripod mounting foot, to a compatible quick-release
clamp. Wimberley plates are compatible with most Arca-Swiss style
quick-release clamps, such as those made by Wimberley, Really Right
Stuff, Kirk Enterprises, Markins, Arca-Swiss, Foba, Graf and others.

1. Determine the number of screws you need. If your lens foot has
more than one mounting hole, it is recommended that more than
one hole be used to mount the plate to keep the plate from twisting on
the foot. For a lens foot with one mounting hole, see (Fig. 4) below.
2. Use the threaded end of the slot to remove or add screws
3. Install safety stop screws (Fig. 6 on p. 2). This is not required,
but it is highly recommended to insure the safety of your gear.
4. Determine the size of the mounting hole(s). If your lens foot
has one or more 3/8” mounting holes, install the reducer bushing
into the 3/8” mounting hole. Wimberley sells additional bushings.
5. Attach the lens plate to the foot of your lens. When removing
or installing the plate, loosen screws gradually while gently pulling the
plate flush against the screw caps to prevent binding of the screw
threads in the center slot of the plate.
6. Slide fore-aft to balance if needed
7. Tighten the screws firmly
If your lens has only one fastener, you can keep the plate from twisting on the lens foot by positioning the two raised nubs on the back of
the plate flush against the back of the lens foot (Fig. 2). If you prefer to have the plate extend behind the lens foot, you can seat the two
nubs against the front of the foot (Fig. 3).

Additional Anti-twist Feature:
If your lens foot has only one mounting hole, the two extra safety stop screws included with your plate can be used to
prevent the plate from twisting on the lens foot (fig 4). Thread the small screws into the two counter-bored holes in the
plate, so that the screw ends protrude from the top of the plate (the side you attach to your lens foot). When installed in
this fashion they provide a second set of anti-twist nubs that can be seated flush against the front or back of your lens
foot to prevent rotation.
