SMALLRIG Quick Release Plate for Arca-Swiss, for DJI RS 4 Mini

The SMALLRIG 4.6” Quick Release Plate Adapter for Arca-Swiss has been a fantastic addition to my camera setup. The build quality is excellent, with a solid aluminum construction that feels durable and secure. Switching between my tripod and gimbal is now incredibly fast, saving valuable time during shoots. The tool-free locking mechanism is simple yet reliable, and the anti-drop safety design provides extra confidence when handling expensive gear. The adjustable sliding mechanism also makes balancing quick and precise. Overall, this adapter has significantly improved my workflow and made transitions between setups seamless. Highly recommended for photographers and videographers looking for a dependable Arca-Swiss quick-release solution.

It's a little annoying that the DJI mount doesn't work with my camera's cage, but this quick release plate solved that problem perfectly. It lets me keep my camera in the cage while mounting it directly to my gimbal without having to take anything apart. The build quality is excellent, just what you'd expect from SmallRig.

Tust what I needed. It paired perfectly with my camera's SmallRig cage to go on my gimbal. The plate that originally came with my gimbal was too small to my camera with the cage intact. This fit perfectly. Secure and cost effective.

The original base plate for the DJI RS4 Mini is an oddity. It's ALMOST Arca Swiss-compatible, but not quite. The majority of my vast, vast collection of Arca Swiss plates doesn't fit on it, which is infuriating. Why would they use a design that's ALMOST a standard, but not really? It's baffling. This SmallRig base plate, on the other hand, works flawlessly with ALL my Arca Swiss plates. Not only that, but it also works with the original "proprietary" screw-in plate that DJI provides. They're THAT close to meeting the standard, while deviating just enough to be infuriating. I'm all other regards, this base plate is equal in quality to the DJI original. The gear track, the safety pin channels, the smooth operation, the range of adjustment, even the measurement markings. Nobody is giving up any functionality with this product, it's just an improvement. It's how DJI should've made it in the first place.

I'm have no idea why DJI doesn't make their quick release plate that comes with the RS4 Mini gimbal compatible with the Arca-Swiss standard. That being said, Small Rig has come to the rescue with a product that does what DJI should have done in the first place. This product is very high quality. I know others make similar products, but I chose SmallRig because of the good experiences I have had with their other products.

The SMALLRIG Quick Release Plate Adapter for Arca-Swiss (5336) is a fantastic upgrade for the DJI RS 4 Mini gimbal. The build quality is excellent-made from durable aluminum and stainless steel, it feels solid and matches the gimbal’s finish perfectly. The anti-drop design adds peace of mind, and the adjustable sliding mechanism makes balancing my camera and smart phone quick. It integrates seamlessly with the RS 4 Mini, making setup and accessory changes much faster and smoother than the DJI stock plate. This adapter definitely makes the RS 4 Mini easier functional and more efficient to use for serious shooting!

This enables me to mount my R5 Mark II to the RS 4 Mini with just a Peak Design capture clip baseplate attached (which is arca-compatible). Love the speed of the workflow - mounting via a regular arca baseplate maintains the hybrid functionality of the camera, so I don't have to switch out to the bulky DJI plate and lose access to my peak design anchors etc. Also helps the camera sit lower. My primary complaint - I would prefer a locking lever over the knob. Although it's knurled and easy to get a good grip on, you can't turn a knob as tight as a lever, and I also have to frequently check the knob and make sure it hasn't loosened over time. With a lever, you have constant visual confirmation that everything is locked in place. Everything else is great so I am hopeful that Smallrig will revise this design in the future. I also wish that the arca receiver was more of a rectangle. This would give you a little bit more lateral room to work with when mounting a wide camera to the narrow RS 4 Mini. My R5 Mark II sits a few millimeters to the left - not enough offset to cause concern, but something that could be easily mitigated with a revised design.

love this! I am not sure why DJI doesn't just do Arca Swiss to begin with. It is like the standard for mounting plates, yet, DJI feels the need to have their own plate. I always have to upgrade to an Arca Swiss plate when I get a new gimbal. anyways, great product and will get the job done!

It lowers the camera on the Gimbal. also I keep it on and I can easily hook to tripod ArcaSwiss clamp when I need it.

working good

Perfetta per il mio DJI RS3! Avevo qualche dubbio inizialmente non essendo dello stesso brand, ma mi sono dovuta ricredere molto velocemente. Se avete una piastra Peak Design vi risparmierà ogni volta la rottura di scatole di doverla sganciare! Praticamente una svolta!
