Descrizione

A gimbal shot ends, and then the real work begins: unscrewing a camera from a stabilizer, moving it to a tripod, re-balancing, and hoping the horizon is still level. Every minute of that transition is a minute the subject is waiting. The Switch Plate is a 88 gram piece of aluminum that removes most of that minute by making the camera portable between a gimbal, a Manfrotto head, and a shoulder rig without re-rigging.

The plate mounts to the camera base with two screws that resist rotation, then locks into the DJI RS family and into any Manfrotto-standard receiver. A 1/4 inch thread at the tail accepts a counterweight, a removable gear rack underneath handles fine balance adjustment, and three M4 holes on the face take a focus rod mount. It is the kind of accessory that stops being noticed after the first shoot because the camera simply goes where it is needed.

Fitment covers the RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 2, RSC 2, RS 4, RS 4 Pro and the original Ronin-S, which is most of the installed base in documentary and event work. At 129 by 49.5 by 18.5 millimeters and 88 grams, it adds no meaningful load to a gimbal that is already balancing at the edge of its payload.

Gear should move between setups in seconds, not minutes.

Built For

Documentary shooters who follow a subject from a gimbal into a tripod interview without a re-rig. Event crews running two cameras where one body has to move between stabilized and locked-off positions. Rental houses standardizing plates across a fleet of gimbals. Solo operators who are the entire crew and cannot afford a five minute transition between every setup.

Design Notes

Anti-twist is the design decision that earns trust. A single screw lets a camera rotate under torque, which shows up as a drifting horizon mid-take. Two screws seated into the camera base plate lock rotation out, so the framing you balanced stays the framing you shoot.

The removable gear rack underneath is a small piece of engineering with a specific job: it lets the plate be nudged fore and aft in millimeter increments to trim balance without moving the camera on the plate. On a gimbal, that is the difference between a motor working quietly and a motor working audibly.

Machined aluminum rather than cast keeps the plate rigid at 88 grams. A flexing plate reintroduces exactly the micro-movement the two screws were added to remove, which is why material choice is a functional decision here rather than a cosmetic one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it fit older Ronin-S gimbals?

Yes. The plate is specified for the original Ronin-S as well as the RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4 and RS 4 Pro.

Q: Can I mount a counterweight?

Yes. The 1/4 inch thread at the tail of the plate accepts standard counterweights for balancing front-heavy lens setups.

Q: Will it work with a Manfrotto tripod head?

That is the primary purpose. The integrated plate is Manfrotto-standard and drops into compatible receivers.

Q: Does it add noticeable weight?

At 88 grams it is negligible even on a gimbal balanced near its payload ceiling.

Q: What are the three front holes for?

They are M4 threads for attaching a focus rod mount, which is how the plate stays useful on follow-focus setups.

Q: Will it fit a non-DJI gimbal?

The plate is specified for DJI RS-series gimbals. Other brands use different clamps and should be checked against their own plate standard before ordering.

Q: Do I need to rebalance after switching?

Balance should be checked after any camera change. The gear rack makes the trim adjustment quick, but a check is still part of the routine.

M4 holes are useful

Added a focus rod mount using the front threads, so the plate stays on for follow focus work. Machined aluminum, no flex even with a heavy lens.

Fits RS4 Pro without shims

Dropped straight into my RS4 Pro and also into a Manfrotto head at the interview position. At 88 grams it is light enough that the gimbal motors did not notice.

Gimbal to tripod in seconds

This is the piece that stopped me re-rigging between setups on event days. The two anti-twist screws keep the horizon locked, and the gear rack makes fine balance a ten second adjustment.
