I need it

Great purchase. I've been looking for this Arca-Type quick release clamp and could not find it. Adorama always hitting the note.

Great Purchase

It does what I needed it to do as a release for my camera on a shoulder rig.

Affordable and good enough

Well made piece and adds nice utility for quickly pulling my camera out of the rig for switching to a gimbal. My only complaint is that the thread holes on the bottom don't line up with my SmallRig rod baseplate to have more than just a center screw installed. I was hoping another screw would line up for better anti-twisting security.

Easily adapts your custom rig with additional accessories!
Followed the suggestions from DSLR Video Shooter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1i-DC5JkME&t=280s)

Easily adapt your custom rig!

Well made and worth the price. This also comes as two separate items, make sure to get this combo. SmallRig makes many other helpful camera accessories, check them out.

This is a handy item for dozens of uses.

This simple quick release plate has an been amazing addition to my rig. It?s study, easy to remove, and makes my life a whole lot easier. Adorama is awesome! Thank you.

Simple and effective

I love this clamp as it also accommodated up to 2 screws for a sturdy ?no-spin? attachment to my rig! The clamp is tight, and has worked with various other Arca type brands.

The perfect Arca clamp for a solid and secure attachment

It was not what the picture shows. The pic shows a lever and the one I received was a twisting action, It cant turn if attached for a camera. I am very busy and forgot to send it back.

Not what I needed

Definitely too high of a price for this unit!

Smallrig yuck release. The unit works well for my need. Would like a slightly larger quick release yes.

Perfect conversion clamp for those wanting to mount a Small Rig cage on an old fashioned camera plate such as found on Vivitar tripods or even older tripods without a quick release mount. You do need to make sure to use a thread diameter converter web mounting this clamp to the Vivitar plate.

Excellent Acra clamp for converting non-acra mount for use with Small Rig cage.

I still haven’t received my product

Exactly as pictured. Delivered quickly. Great quality and I love that it's flat so I can add it to any rig, stand, tripod, or gimbal.

Creative Producer

It works well as a replacement quick release on my gimbal, an it allows me to adjust it and balance it properly.

SmallRig is the best!!!

Did not hold my bracket securely.  Returned the product.

Did not meet my need.

I love this clamp.  Works perfectly with plates from 2 different mfgrs.  I hang $2,000+ worth of gear on it without a worry (G9 w/ 35-100 f2.8) on a Rapid Strap covering football games... no worries.  Dangles securely when switching to a second camera or when moving down the sidelines.
  The Locking lever is much less likely to snag on things then the others that I have purchased which rely on an adjustment knob that sticks out from the side.

Safe and secure

It has been claimed as "Arca-type compatible" but it won't hold Arca Swiss's dovetail plate even the tightness screw has been adjusted to tightest position. I also tested my Gitzo-branded plate which also doesn't work.
Also I have found the device is not perfectly parallel to the edge if a longer Arca-style plate has been used, because the fixture only covers half of the side and does not give even pressure.
