Photo Gear Designs QD Strap Swivel

The QD (Quick Detach) mounting system was perfect for our plates for several reasons:

Secure
This proven system has been used for years by industries around the world including NASA, law enforcement, and military agencies. The design inhibits accidental removal, especially when the camera is hanging from the strap.

Fast
Adding or removing the strap system to/from your camera is lightning fast. Just press the button and push the pin into the corresponding socket to install, or pull it out to remove.

Low Profile
The socket for QD attachment is so low profile that we can incorporate it into most of our quick-release plates without adding any extra height. Another great feature is that that our Quick-Release plates will fit flush within our clamps when mounted on our ballheads; no extra pieces you have to worry about getting in the way. Also, because the mount is so small, we are incorporating the design in many of our products.
