Wimberley P30 Quick Release Plate. One a line of Arca-Swiss style quick-release plates for collared lenses. These plates have important innovative features that distinguish them from other plates on the market. Lens feet with larger 3/8″ mounting holes require insertion of a 3/8″ to 1/4″ reducer bushing to fasten plates using these holes.
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.

Installation Instructions
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
Install Screw Slide along Slot
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
