The kit features a sturdy and unique 2-inch-wide, Arca-compatible quick-release disc. The disc easily attaches to cameras, ball heads as well as other accessories. As a result, the new kit expands the versatility of Platypod tripods.

The complete kit includes the 2-inch, Arca-compatible, anodized aluminum round mounting plate/riser; a 3/8-16 female with 1/4-20 stainless steel bolt; a male to 3/8-16 female adapter with a circular bubble level; and a 3-inch spigot adapter for portable and creative studio lighting.
In addition, it bundles a silicone pad for a secure grip on flat surfaces; a 36-inch cinch strap for securing a Platypod on large, freestanding objects such as trees and poles; as well as a 3-inch carabiner. In addition, the company provides a drawstring pouch to keep all items securely packed.
The Platypod Multi-Accessory Kit has a suggested retail price of $39.
Platypod
