What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a small circular plate that attaches a Buddy Button switch to a compatible Manfrotto mounting arm system — it's the physical interface between the switch itself and whatever arm is holding it in position. It's designed for anyone who needs a switch precisely positioned in space, whether that's a child using a switch to control a device, a communication system, or any other switch-activated AT. This is strictly an accessory component: you'll need both a compatible Manfrotto mounting arm (such as a Gooseneck, Magic Arm, or Variable Friction Arm) and the switch itself for this plate to serve any purpose. The plate is specific to the Buddy Button form factor, so confirm compatibility before purchasing if you're using a different switch.
