PGYTECHQuick Release Plate Clamp, with 1/4" and 3/8" Threaded Holes, Arca Swiss Interface, Suitable for Photo Cameras, Tripods, Gimbals

I was looking at 'the other' quick release plate maker known for its quality products and sleek designs. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much when I could just deal with the one my tripod came with. Then I came across this product. It is basically half the price of the one I was looking at before, and it seemed to be almost identical.I purchased two sets. I placed one base on the head of my tripod and the other on the camera mounting point of a quick release shoulder strap I recently purchased. I placed the quick plates on my camera body (in its cage) and on the foot of my long lens. This allows me to move freely between both while maintaining a safe center of balance for the weight of the gear.It truly is a quick release. You simply slide it in at an angle until the metal stopper clicks into place over the plate, then slide the button to the side to lock it into the base. To release the plate, you slide the button back into the unlock position, push it in and lift the plate out of the base. Very straightforward. The small loops in the corners are perfect for adding a safety tether if you choose (which I did.) The screw that secures the plate to your gear appears to be made of high quality material that should last for a long time.I did some testing with one of the plates/bases before I put my actual gear on them. It passed with flying colors. I was worried that with such a small footprint it wouldn't be sufficient, but I was wrong. This handles my mirrorless camera with a cage, mic, two handles, top light, SSD and long lens with ease and stability. I haven't tried it yet, but I believe it will handle the addition of my small monitor as well. Yeah, it's that secure.If you want to streamline your loadout without breaking the bank, this is the way to go.

A great idea executed perfectly, makes attaching your camera to the tripod securely a snap, removing is a simple push button action. This is an excellent tool for photographers.

Extremely surprised how well this system works, it is very simple to use and cuts so much time if you work with travel tripods. It’s small enough to just let it be on my camera body and is actually great value for money. It is a sturdy built and doesn’t weigh a lot which makes it very comfortable but yet it feels stabil and quality.

Probably one of the most useful thing i have ever bought. very easy to use. i have 2 cameras so i bought 2 plates for them and all i do is just install them on my camera and they work just fine. then i put the clamp on my tripod and that's it. i can switch between tripod and hand held.

Look, this piece of equipment is just amazing, smaller while keeping everything sturdy and in place, easy to use and a design that will make you feel that your cameras and lights are safeEven to use with a phone secured to a C-Stand or any given tripod, it’s just perfect and I regret not buying more!

The media could not be loaded. Wow — PGYTECH absolutely nailed it!This is hands-down one of the best quick-release plates I’ve ever used. It’s honestly amazing how effortlessly you can detach your camera from a Ronin with just a flick of your thumb. If you’re stuck with one of those clunky, overengineered SmallRig cages, this plate is a total game-changer. Suddenly everything feels smooth, elegant, and actually enjoyable to work with. PGYTECH — this is next-level design.

Great purchase. I have the plates attached to my camera to carry on my backpack, but switching the camera to a tripod or monopod meant I had to take the plate off. This little device to the rescue! Got two, one for my monopod and one for the tripod. No more screwing and unscrewing. Camera snaps in quickly and easily and locks into place. Great packaging, including brand stickers if you want to help them with some free advertising.
