Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 Round Dovetail Plate
Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 Overview
The TH-DVTL-40 Round Dovetail Plate from Really Right Stuff is a 2.1" diameter round plate that allows a tripod head to be mounted to most Arca-type compatible clamps. The contour of the round dovetail plate matches the base of either a ball head or gimbal head, outfitting the head with an Arca-type rail on the base. This allows the head to mount to a leveling base or other device with a compatible clamp in order to quickly change tripod heads when working with different disciplines. Made of durable CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type-II black anodized finish, the TH-DVTL-40 accepts any round tripod head base whose diameter does not exceed 2".

Perfect Fit for RRS Ptoducts
I used this on the base of my RRS compact planning clamp. It was a perfect fit for attaching this planning clamp to any Acra Swiss style clamp.
Perfectly designed
These work perfectly as part of the head exchange system. Well built
Well built! Works great!
I purchased this dovetail to use on my Wimberly Wh-200. I can now easily and quickly move the gimbal from a RRS clamp on my tripod to a RRS clamp on my monopod.
Perfect fit!
Perfect fit for my Jobu Design Gimbal head. Makes switching between ballhead, or gimbal head as easy as moving a lever back and forth with my lever clamp.
For my Gimbal Head
Mounted to the base of my Wimberley Gimbal and now I can use my Arca Swiss Ball head for levelling and quickly mount / unmount the larger Gimbal safely onto the Ball head / tripod. Greatly increase the safety of not dropping expensive camera gear with a very inexpensive accessory plate.
Dovetail happy
Perfect for my Jobu Jr. 3 gimbal head & RRS 60mm lever clamp. I have one for my ball head as well.
3/8-16 anchor bolt is not the correct size
I think got a bad batch of 3/8"-16 screws from RRS. I bought two of these, and both would have stripped the Dovetail plate and my nice Gimbal head if I would have tried to use them. I went to the hardware store and found a 3/8"-16 bolt to see if that would fit the Dovetail plate and it fit flawlessly. I couldn't use it because the bolt head did not fit into the plate, the plate is countersunk. I checked the size of the RRS screw with a screw thread gauge. The closest fit was 10mm, not 3/8"-16. I will try to get replacement screws from RRS otherwise I will have to return these. They are unusable.
Please Don't Strip
I didn't break out the micrometer but the supplied 3/8-16 screw is definitely larger than indicated and beyond any acceptable tolerance. Had I torqued this down it would very well have ruined my brand new, extremely expensive tripod head. Not good RSS!
