ULANZI Claw Quick Release Camera Mount, Metal Quick Release Plate with 1/4'' Screw, Quick Rlease Tripod Mount for DSRL Cameras/Gimble/Tripod/Monopod/Ball Head/Slider

I should have bought them earlier, amazing products, really efficient and great build too.

I’ve bought 3 of these now because they’re so useful. They’re ideal for in clipping my camera when it’s on a tripod to change the battery and not lose the angle on the tripod.Robust and fantastic build quality. So handy to keep in the camera bag.

Great product. Quick and easy switch.

Me being the cheapskate that I am was really reluctant to buy this quick release plate. I ended up buying the Hersmay P50 Clamp at half the cost (in the pictures next to the ULANZI for comparison) and suffered for over a year. Enough was enough. I should have just bought the ULANZI as my old plate was so clanky and cumbersome. The ULANZI clamps are expensive but worth the price after the hassle and fiddle of my previous clamp. I bought two of them and they work great! 1/4 threads and seamless to use when whipping my camera off. Trust me, if you want an easy life then I recommend these plates - I'll probably be buying more!

I use this with my Sony Smartphone and vlogging grip to give me quick release from the Sony vlogging handle to my compact tripod. It is great, but the rubber pads dislodge and bulge upwards when mounted. They look like you need total surface contact to avoid this whereas my little vlogging grip is slightly narrower than the base plate of this unit. It is great and seems strong enough for what I need but it looks like I will have to remove the rubber pads and superglue them in place. Not a deal breaker and you probably won't have any issues at all if your use case completely covers the quick release plate.

I know this is a touch pricey, but it does feel like value for money when it solves a problem.Packaging is very high quality, almost a presentation box. The mount itself is so well made, the locking mechanism works exactly as needed. You can connect the base and the top in any of the four orientations. I'm using this on an overhead camera (so mounted at 90 degrees) and it's rock solid.Very happy with this purchase.

Great piece of kit. This is a repeat order as I find them a must have with my monopod.

These are just so useful.It's the 2nd one I've purchased.I often need to adjust camera settings - and being able to quickly click the camera off the stand and slot it back in again after making a few adjustments is a huge time save.A very productive solution.
