The UltraPlate 208 is a flexible tool for shooters who like to change up gear with lots of different set ups. It works with the JOBY Ballhead X and other Arca-Swiss compatible tripods. Eight mounting holes can support a wide array of gear: a DLSR, action camera such as GoPro®, JOBY GorillaPod Arm or Locking Arm, flash unit, microphone or even a smartphone when paired with a JOBY GripTight Mount.

The Hand Grip with UltraPlate 208 serves as a simplified, but super-durable rig and includes the Arca-Swiss compatible and extended quick-release plate, plus a removable Hand Grip.
