The PC-5DsR Arca Swiss® compatible plate was released by the end of July and is already available in the market.
The QR plate is also RRS® lever release clamp compatible, thus the R at the end of the model name.
The PC-5DsR plate has tiny differences from the older PC-5DIII (preview) intended for the EOS 5D Mk III, since the EOS 5D Mk III and the 5Ds / R camera body is exactly the same.
The Plate
| Manufacturer Specification: | |
|---|---|
| Model: | PC-5DsR |
| Length: | 64 mm |
| Width: | 52 mm |
| Thickness/ Height: | 13 mm |
| Dovetail Width: | 39 mm |
| Mounting screw thread: | 1/4"-20 UNC |
| Weight: | 40 gr |
 |
| The PC-5DsR follows the same Sunwayfoto treatment being precision CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium with exceptional finishing and high quality surface anodizing. It features convex edges at the front side and a convex ridge at the back, preventing the plate from twisting below the camera. |
 |
| Looking at the bottom we can see the Arca Swiss® compatible dovetail, two tapped holes intended for the M3 safety stop screws at both ends of the dovetail and an extra 1/4"-20 threaded hole for mounting on a pod with a compatible stud without removing the plate. The skeleton design was chosen to optimize weight by removing any excess material. Further, there is also a strap mount slot at one side in order to facilitate the attachment of a wrist strap. |
Mounting the plate on the Camera
 |
| The PC-5DsR plate is perfectly centered under the camera body with the mounting screw aligned with the lens center axis. |
 |
| In the photo above the EOS 5Ds is clamped on Sunwayfoto DDH-05 Panning Clamp via the PC-5DsR QR plate. However, unfortunately same as with the PC-5DIII plate there is not any Φ index mark on the rear of the plate, marking the lens center. |
I hope you found the information useful, thank you for viewing.
