Good Quality

| I misplaced the original shoe - hence my tripod (Slik U8000) was of no use. The local shops did not have spares and I was quite hesitant ordering one online. I must say that the quality was even better that the original. It fits perfectly. |

Buy one for each piece...

| Thought I'd mention the obvious since I ran into someone out in the field who was screwing one of these into multiple instruments which defeats the whole quick release purpose. They are solidly built and easy to use. |

| The product isn't what's being reviewed here because it is a standard part of the SLIK tripod I bought. What is being reviewed is the fact that this little piece, which screws into the bottom of your camera, is absolutely mandatory for the proper functioning of a tripod. If you cannot secure the camera to the tripod in a stable way when taking a time exposure then why even bother with a tripod? The problem is that this little piece can easily get lost. Once it is screwed into the camera, when you dismount the cameraandshoe from the tripod at the same time, and set the camera aside, you can just go on using the camera with the shoe on it and forget to put the shoe back onto the tripod. Later, when you want to change a battery or a chip in the computer, you take it off and set it on a shelf. Put in a new battery -- and off you go, leaving the shoe on the shelf and not being able to find it ever again. So, what happens when you lose the shoe? Buy a whole new tripod? If it weren't for Amazon, that is what I would have had to do. I called countless camera stores. No one had it. I went to Fry's Electronic store. They had a shoe, but it didn't fit my tripod. I went back to the store where I bought the tripod. They had more inexpenswive ($45 range) tripods, but NOT more shoes. I looked up SLIK. They have the shoe on there, but won't sell it to you or tell you where to get it. I looked at Target, Sears, Circuit City, Best, and various other big box stores. Only place I could find it was Amazon. So, a big YAY for Amazon!!! Little widgets like this make the world go around. Along with nails, screws, nuts, bolts, Scotch tape and duct tape. Hooray and thank you. I bought four of them because, ditz that I am, I probably will lose a tripod shoe again, at some point, and now I will have another one to back it up! |

| No idea how my original release shoe was lost, but thank goodness I found a replacement here. In fact, I should probably order a couple extras. |
