 Well built but won't fit all tripods as advertisedDec 29, 2008
By Matt Anderson
It seemed like such a simple plan - add a quick release plate to my venerable Tiltall tripod's 2 & 7/8th inch diameter camera mounting surface. Unfortunately,the base of the Manfrotto's quick release lever extends approximately 1/8th of an inch downward about 1 & 1/8th inches from the center of the bottom plate. This makes it impossible for the bottom plate to lay flat against my tripod's mounting surface.
The ad copy's assurance that this device allows you to "Add a quick release system to any tripod or monopod" turns out not to be true.
That said, it's a well made little gizmo and looks like would make the perfect addition to a different (perhaps, newer) tripod.

 Great product, but may not be suitable for Glidecam users.Apr 09, 2011
By windriver12
Just wanted to provide a compatibility warning to users considering purchasing this QR Plate for their Glidecams. The base of the QR Plate is not flat, so it will not lay flat against the Glidecam's camera base. If you look at the customer uploaded pictures carefully, you can see that the safety latch extends below the base of the plate.
But it works great on a regular tripod and Manfrotto's products are meant to last a life time.

Solid and Extremely Well MadeDec 26, 2009
By J. Johnston
Very well made. I have used it several times now and have had no problems. Makes it so much easier to use the tripod. I have used it with a D80 with a Tamron 18-270 zoom lens attached and it handled it easily. Highly recommend this produt to others

Love itOct 07, 2010
By An Informed User
This is a well manufactured little piece, with solid construction and time-tested design. Now I know why people pay so much for Manfrotto products.
It comes with 2 pieces, the camera plate mounts to the camera and the base mounts to the tripod. The two pieces can attach with ease, as the camera plate will push a little brass button that flips the lock lever to the locking position automatically. The little click sound and the flip of the lever provide an easy confirmation for me. To prevent accidental unlocking of the main lock lever, there's a secondary safety lever below it that can also be flipped. It's small and is hidden behind the main lock lever, so it won't get caught in the photographer's jacket/camera strap, etc. All the safety is necessary to avoid crashing the valueable camera and lens down to the floor.
The camera plate grabs on to the bottom of my camera very well. It doesn't twist even when I mounted a very heavy lens and had the camera in portrait orientation.
Unlike tripod heads that need a stringent weight specification, this is pretty much a one-size fit all. It feels safe when I had a semi-pro DSLR, a 3lbs lens and a flash mounted on it.
I have a couple of tripods and a mono-pod, none of which came with a quick release mechanism. So the perfect add on would be this Manfrotto RC2, since it can be shared. It allows me to use the tripod more often, since mounting/unmounting isn't a hassle anymore.
