QS-56P Compact Arca Compatible Quick Shoe For Spotting Scopes

The Vanguard QS-56P Quick Shoe is an ultra-compact Arca compatible quick release plate with a 1/4" camera screw, a non-twist spring pin and anti-slip rubber pads to provide a solid link to your chosen spotting scope, video camera or long lens in just seconds. 

This lightweight and compact quick release plate is perfect for longer lenses and spotting scopes where portability is key.  Despite being lightweight, it features an adjustable 1/4" thread that can be moved forwards/back for the best balance, and a non-twist spring pin to make sure your kit is always pointing in the direction you want.  If you want a longer base for a better fit, you can choose the QS-71P.

The non-twist spring pin also allows the quick release plate to be used with a camera or device that does not have the hole as it is simply pushed down by the base of the camera.

While this quick release plate can be used with your camera, it may not be the optimal choice and we would recommend you have a separate quick release plate for your camera. For a DSLR the QS-74 may be more suitable, or for a smaller mirrorless camera the QS-65 may be more suitable.

This model features two removable pins in the base that are designed to stop the head slipping out of a traditional Arca style design if the clamp is not fully tightened in error. If your head does not support this, then you can simply remove the pins.

The quick shoe can be attached to the base of the spotting scope or long lens:

• By hand using the D-ring
• Using an Allen key
• Using a coin
• Using a screwdriver

This Arca compatible plate can be used with the following Vanguard products:

• VEO PV-10
• VEO PV-12
• VEO PV-14
• VEO BH-110S
• VEO BH-160S
• VEO BH-265S

As well as any other brand's Arca compatible head with the Arca style safety system built into the clamp.
