Kondor Blue Arca Receiver Camera Plate MkII
The Kondor Blue Arca Receiver Camera Plate MkII is a low-profile ARCA mounting receiver designed to speed transitions between handheld, tripod, gimbal, and accessory-based camera builds. Available in Space Gray and Raven Black, it uses fully captive hardware, a wide ARCA opening, and a reinforced clamping system to keep compatible plates and rigging components securely engaged.
A dovetail-guided moving clamp helps prevent binding while distributing clamping force evenly across the mounted plate. The receiver also incorporates a dual-bolt mounting pattern for improved anti-twist security, plus support for an integrated anti-twist pin with onboard pin storage. These features make the MkII useful as a compact foundation for modular camera rigs that are frequently reconfigured throughout a production day.
The receiver accepts ARCA-equipped cages, plates, and accessories and provides a rear accessory mounting interface for Kondor Blue’s Mini-L Pivot Bracket. Its compact body measures approximately 2 x 1.6 x 0.7 inches with the plate installed and weighs about 0.2 lb. Space Gray and Raven Black versions share the same mechanical design and specifications, allowing the finish to be selected as a product variant without changing compatibility or function.
