These are an inexpensive way to allow other accessories to mount onto a Arca Swiss tripod head. The work well, but are slightly smaller than the normal Arca Swiss units and require you to use the adjustment screw on the side of the mount to ensure a tight fit once the cam lock is closed. A minor inconvenience when swapping between scopes, cameras, or other tripod accessories. You are hard pressed to beat the price for two of these plates. So far, so good.
