Jobu Design SF-CPM Surefoot Manfrotto Adapter Plate

Jobu Design SF-CPM Surefoot Manfrotto Adapter Plate

Convert Manfrotto to Arca-Swiss — Simple, Secure, and Effective

The Jobu Design SF-CPM Surefoot Manfrotto Adapter Plate provides a practical solution for photographers looking to integrate Manfrotto quick release plates into an Arca-Swiss compatible system.

If your existing kit is built around Manfrotto plates, the SF-CPM allows you to transition seamlessly—making your setup compatible with Jobu Design gimbals, tripods, and other Arca-Swiss supports without needing to replace your current plates.

Designed for Hybrid Setups

The SF-CPM is ideal for photographers who want the flexibility of Arca-Swiss systems while continuing to use their existing Manfrotto plates.

It also enables you to mount lenses without tripod collars by positioning the plate beneath the lens, allowing use on a gimbal head with proper balance and control—similar to a traditional telephoto setup.
