Quick Release Plate for Canon, Nikon, and Contax Cameras

I have a Pentax K-5 and this plate fits perfectly. They make different plates for different models, so make sure you choose the correct model. This is a high quality plate, which means a lot to me when I have $3000 of equipment attached to it. To much to risk for a cheapy.

Okay, so you've sprung for an expensive Acratech ball head mount and you need a quick-release plate. What are you going to do? Buy this, obviously. It's hard to review this because it's just a frippin' piece of metal with a screw in it. Kind of reminds me of when in Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance the guy's buddy won't use a cut piece of beer can as a shim because it wasn't the official BMW part. Yeesh!It works, but it's expensive for what it is. 3 stars.

As usual, Amazon came through...quick shipment, product met description, reasonable price.For anyone using this product, you MUST make it tight enough. It shakes loose over time; the directions said not to overtighten, but it still needs to be tight.I absolutely love the end weight of the total product, and it feels quite stable.

I understood I was buying a generic quick release plate (i.e., determined by camera make and not model), but I expected the product to at least resemble the photo. If I had received the quick release plate from the photo, I could use it on my Canon camera. What was sent is machined differently with different screw locations. I cannot use it and will now have the hassle of a return.

I recently acquired a Contax RX 35mm camera and I was surprised that I was able to find a camera plate that fits perfectly. I use a tripod very often and I am happy to find this product.

Fully meets or exceeds my expectations. Well made and durable so that I will not need to replace it anytime in the near future. Feel confidant in the purchase of this product.

I keep on attached to both my cameras at all times so the camera is ready for tripod at any given moment- A little expensive, but worth it- I use the Acratec gimble ballhead and love it- as it is an open ballhead design which prevents dust and dirt from getting into the fluids found in conventional ballheads- I've really put my tripod through the works busting through dense forests, rocky coastlines, mountain tops etc, and the Acratech equipment has stood up admirably for 2 years now- The ballhead does slightly move even when tightened down tight, but only when I've got the tripod slung over my shoulder carrying it with camera attached- When using the tripod to take photos though, it locks camera solidly and securely inplace, and the plate stays secure in the mount.

Fits great. This will come in very handy in the field.
