The CF 8×10 30 cm Long Quick-Release Mounting Plate is a precision-engineered support plate designed specifically for 8×10 large format cameras.

Precision CNC-machined from premium aluminium, this custom mounting plate provides exceptional rigidity, stability and repeatable positioning for photographers working in the studio or the field. Inspired by professional video quick-release systems, it delivers the confidence required when supporting large-format equipment and heavy lenses.

Designed and developed by Craig Fouché Photography, the plate integrates seamlessly with Manfrotto 501 and 503 Long Quick-Release Plate systems, providing a secure and dependable platform for professional photographic workflows.

A precision laser-engraved measurement scale along the upper surface allows photographers to record and repeat camera positions accurately, while two ¼-inch and two ⅜-inch threaded mounting points provide flexible attachment options for cameras and accessories.

Finished in durable black powder coating and manufactured to exacting tolerances, the plate combines strength, functionality and refined craftsmanship in a professional mounting solution built for demanding photographic applications.

Large format cameras demand stable support.

The CF 8×10 Long Quick-Release Mounting Plate provides a longer contact surface than conventional camera plates, improving balance while reducing vibration during exposure.

Its precision-machined construction and integrated measurement scale make repeatable camera positioning simple, whether working in the studio, photographing architecture or producing carefully composed landscape images.

Designed specifically around the requirements of professional large format photography, it offers a practical and dependable alternative to generic mounting solutions.

Every insert unit is individually manufactured to order.

Production begins with precision CNC machining before progressing through professional powder-coating, laser engraving and a comprehensive quality inspection.

Because each component passes through several specialist manufacturing processes, production typically requires 2–4 weeks, with a maximum lead time of 30 days before dispatch.

These are not mass-produced accessories.

They are precision photographic tools, manufactured with the same attention to detail they bring to the photographs they help create.
