Spotting Scope Arca Plate

[NCStaccato]

I have a MPA and a MDT chassis and neither are the same size arca as my spotting scope. Purchased a Vortex quick release plate hoping it was the same size, no luck.
I have a Fatboy tripod with an invert 60 head , I'm looking for a plate that can be connected without adjusting the clamp size?

The RRS plate will probably be your best bet. They also work in pic rails.

I found the MPA integral Arca to be odd myself, not sure why they didnt try to match standard arca configuration? I just mounted an arca to my MPA problem solved but silly.

My MDT Elite, Premier gen 2 and Vanquish seem to have the same size integral arca rail. If I could find a Arca plate to mount on my Spotting scope things would be easier.

I see. Thought it was a screw fastened connection, but appears to be one piece?

Does the ARCA clamp need to be tightened when using the spotter? As in the ARCA seems smaller?

I’ve observed the contrary. Have made several ARCA rails to spec and they match up perfect with the integral MPA rail.

The vortex adaptor plate does have a screw / quick connect that screws into the base of the rail on the Athlon

@NCStaccato If you end up at a dead end, let me know. Got ARCA pieces laying around or can whip something up specific to your mount. I owe you for leading me to some much needed ammo!

Ill have to measure it at some point but just having my bipod on one or the other they are different on my chasssis, I notice it in my bench vise and my bipod mount. (Accutac bipod)
