KONDOR BLUE Mini Quick Release Plate for Tripod | Gimbal | Monitor | Magic Arm | Stabilizer with 1/4"-20 & 3/4" Screw

I've switched to using these for all of my light photography and filmmaking equipment. They're a little smaller than arca swiss, but they're a lot more secure and convenient to use than cold shoe. mounts for hot shoes For my large camera and some sort of heavy LED lights, I use arca swiss, but for everything else, I'm using these Kondor Blue brackets and plates. All of my lightweight gear, such as the following, is interchangeable: iphone mounts, speedlights, small LED light mounts, and anything else that I frequently switch between, such as small tripods, friction arms, and clamps. br>br>Despite the fact that these are significantly more expensive than cold shoe gear, I will never use cold shoe gear. Except for my cameras' flash triggers, I'm back to using the hot shoe. All cold shoe gear has been removed, and Kondor Blue brackets or plates have been installed in its place. One hot shoe adapter, however, remained in my possession. I used a Kondor Blue bracket to attach a Kondor Blue bracket to the hot shoe adapter, which allows me to attach gear to the hot shoe mount on top of my cameras. The good news is that I can buy the plates separately, which is convenient because I only need mounts for a few things but need plates for many more. br>br>I'm very pleased with these quick release mounts/plates and plan to look into other Kondor products.

This is fantastic. It was so good, in fact, that I placed a second order. I'll most likely place another order. You can purchase the plates separately or as part of a clamp/plate combo, such as this. At the time of writing, the plates are only $10 each. Excellent value for money, and the product's quality is excellent; once locked in place, it won't move. One of these has a handle and is attached to my SmallRig cage. I can quickly attach and detach the handle for a fraction of the cost of a SmallRig quick release handle. I'm also adding a plate to the side so I can move the handle around to suit how I want to hold the camera. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This is what I'm getting at: If you need a reliable quick release option for lights, monitors, mics, or anything else and don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the one to get. Even if you have plenty of cash, get this and go out and buy a lens. You won't regret it.

I just got my second one, and the design has been updated by the company. The older ones were about a quarter of the size of the current ones. Only 20 are available, but the top connector now accepts 3/8. There are also locator pins in the arri style! This increases the part's versatility and makes it more suitable for professional use. I'd prefer it if they also made the bottom part 3/8 compatible. I also preferred the older model's black color, but that is purely a matter of taste. br>This component is solid, and the connection is free of play. Genuine cinelocks are still used on my most expensive gear, but they're four times the price of these! These are excellent for quickly disconnecting almost anything on a camera. The price is unbeatable, and it's the only cinelock alternative I've found that accepts 3/8. br>Yes, it works with the older model, so don't worry if you've already purchased some.

I needed a way to connect a quick disconnect to an LED lantern in my wife's Jeep. Yes, it's childish and silly, but it serves her purpose perfectly. She also has a style that is identical to hers. br>br>Anyway, I bought it to attach to the roll bar (using a universal roll bar mount). It's the perfect size for where we needed it, and it's the perfect shade of blue to match her Jeep. When we're on or off the road, it's solid and doesn't rattle or shake. Granted, I had to think outside the box to get it mounted, and I still need to make some hardware adjustments to get the lantern to sit at the proper angle, but it turned out AMAZING! The best part is that it perfectly illuminates the rear storage area where it's mounted, and we can remove it if we need more light elsewhere. 5 stars!.

I purchased two of these to use on motorcycles for mounting devices. Finding quick detachable mounting solutions for motorcycles is difficult, and most of the products available are captive ball mounts. None of them, however, have a way to make something quick detachable that is also strong and easy to remove. The terms "quick" and "easy" are not synonymous, but this mount is both. br>br>It's made with extreme precision; the mating pieces have no free play, and when they lock together, they form a solid mount. The device can be removed with a simple flick of the lever. It's just as simple and quick to put back on. br>br>The metal has a high-quality finish. I'm going to order more, and you'll need two if you only need one. This mount comes highly recommended; it's sturdy, well-made, and adds quality and value to any installation.

As a result, I purchased four of them. br>br>2 of them work perfectly, and I can move my monitor from the camera to the Glidecam's bottom. I have two monitors that I alternate between. I bought another set so I could use both monitors on different cameras and switch one to the Glidecam when needed, but the new QR I got gets stuck in one of my old receivers. br>br>I've had this problem before, and I now have one receiver/plate combination that is stuck together with no way to separate it. I thought I was out of luck for a period of time, but now it is 50% of the time. Great concept but too hit or miss in my experience and I might have to such as products that can be used in conjunction with one another without causing any problems.

Similar quick release mounts, sold here and elsewhere, have received mixed reviews, with most people claiming that the other brands wobble or have play. As a result, I was surprised to see that Kondor Blue's version received a five-star rating. I went out and bought one. br>br>It's impressive! It's completely devoid of any kind of play; There is no such thing as front to back or side to side. Other, larger, more expensive quick releases that are nearly as good as KB's little tank are available. I was so taken aback that I purchased a second. I'll most likely purchase a few more in the near future. I'm a huge supporter of your work.
