Westcott M6 Tripod Plate 4729

The Westcott M6 Multi-Mount Tripod Plate converts a standard tripod into a light stand for location photographers and videographers. Its single-piece CNC aluminium construction provides a lightweight yet durable platform for strobes, monolights, speedlights and audio gear. The plate mounts to most RC2 or Arca-type quick-release receivers for broad compatibility.

RC2 and Arca-type quick-release fit

The plate secures to most RC2 or Arca-type tripod head receivers, limiting use to heads that accept those standards. It offers a 5/8 inch receiver and a female 1/4"-20 thread for attaching light heads or audio devices. Clip-in mounting points allow shoulder carry with a compatible strap, but the plate itself does not level the head on extreme slopes.

Replaces separate light stands and brackets

This accessory removes the need to carry a dedicated light stand, tilt bracket or weight bag for many on-location shoots. It leverages the tripod's independently adjustable legs for stability on uneven ground, hills and stairs. The upgrade is most valuable when packing light and working on terrain where a traditional light stand cannot stand securely.

Questions about this item

Which Westcott M6 Multi-Mount Tripod Plate model should I choose?

The single model is part number 4729; it converts a standard tripod into a light stand and accepts both 5/8" receivers and 1/4"-20 threads.

What does the patent-pending design actually do on location?

It lets a tripod's independently adjustable legs stabilise strobes, speedlights or audio gear on uneven ground, hills or stairs without a separate light stand.

Which quick-release systems does the 4729 plate fit?

It mounts to most RC2 or Arca-type tripod head receivers, so you can clamp it directly onto those standard quick-release platforms.
