great value

This is not the best tripod quick release plate on the market, but it is very cheap and easy to use and sturdy enough for small-to-mid sized SLR cameras. Replacement plates (if you have more than one camera) are also very cheap and widely available.
Quick release systems like this make a camera tripod much easier to use. If your tripod doesn't come with built-in quick release, then this is a cheap upgrade. Unless you have a super-fancy $800 tripod, this Bogen quick release should be more than adequate for you. You would be wise to stick with a popular system like Bogen/Manfrotto so that replacement parts (like the camera plates) will be easily available in the future. |

Great compact quick release
2008-11-07
|
| I use Manfrotto quick releases RC2, RC4, and RC5. RC2 being the smallest and most compact was where I started. Now I use it on my monopod and macro rail, which doesn't have a quick release by itself. It works out great. Only thing about RC2 is that the screw may not fall into the hole completely every time, especially when in a hurry. When that happens, the lock can't be securely locked. It let go on me once because of this, my own user-error. But it does show a design flaw. The RC4 and RC5 are completely pro grade, solid and secure. But more expensive, heavier and much bigger. RC2 fits my rail perfect in size and weight so I went for RC2 instead the other two. But I do use RC4 between the geared head and macro rail. |

Great Way To Add Quick Release To Tripod or Monopod
2008-09-25
|
I bought this adapter to add Quick Release capability to a cheap Cannon monopod with a built-in ball head that I got on sale a while back. I recently bought a Bogen Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod with a Manfrotto 488RC2 Ball Head. So I obviously wanted RC2 so I could keep the same plate on my camera and use either the tripod or monopod. This plate works really well for those needs.
The plate is identical to the one that came with the 488RC2, and features black rubber with ridges, not cork as is shown in the product image. The metal is also darker than what is shown in the product image. (See customer images.)
I have attached and detached the plate several times - it secures well and the bottom of my camera shows no sign of scuffing or scratching.
It fits on a 3/8" screw but comes with an adapter for 1/4" screws, so it screwed right onto the built-in head on my monopod.
As is typical for Bogen Manfrotto QR systems, it includes a secondary security lock to prevent you from accidentally releasing the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully. |

One minor design glitch
2008-07-16
 |
| I purchased this item to add quick release capability to a Bogen tripod head that didn't have that capability. It can be attached, but the area under the quick release lever is not flush with the rest of the plate which limits which direction the base can be mounted. You have to have to attach it so the lever hangs off the side of the head. Might not be an issue for a small tripod head. |
