As a professional photographer, I've put my gear through its paces, especially when it comes to tripod accessories. After trying several off-brand quick release plates, I kept running into the same issue – they all seemed to break after minimal use. Frustrated with the constant replacements, I decided to invest in the Manfrotto Quick Release Plate, and boy, am I glad I did.From the moment I attached it to my tripod, I could feel the quality difference. The construction is sturdy and durable, giving me confidence that my camera is securely mounted. The design is sleek and intuitive, allowing for quick and easy attachment and removal.What sets the Manfrotto plate apart is its reliability. After countless shoots and countless swaps between cameras, it's still holding up strong. I no longer have to worry about my equipment failing me mid-shoot.While it may be a bit pricier than some off-market options, the peace of mind and longevity it provides make it worth every penny. If you're tired of constantly replacing cheap, inferior plates, do yourself a favor and invest in the Manfrotto Quick Release Plate. You won't regret it.See ya!

I was looking for a second quick release plate so I could keep one on my camera and one of the tripod collar of a big lens I have. I was looking round for copies, but given how much my camera/lens cost, why scrimp on the only thing that holds it on the tripod and prevents it tumbling to the ground? This is OEM spec and is perfect for the job!

this is a quick release plate to support a telephoto lens . It works.

Nice solid metal release plate by Manfrotto.Came in little plastic bag with an addtional clip to fit some camcorder makes and a bigger screw fitting.This fits corectly in my Manfrotto 190 pro4 tripod and the rubber top of the plate, holds the camera in place.This maybe a little more expensive than the 3rd party quick release plates, but it's worth paying a little more considering camera and lenses can cost thosands and the last you want is to have it fall off or break due to a cheaper made attachment.

This Manfrotto quick release plate fits my 234RC head perfectly. The quality is excellent, just as it always has been with Manfrotto products. While it is a bit pricey, it is totally worth it because I have other pieces of Manfrotto equipment to form a set. Supporting the original brand is important to me. I had a few off-brand quick release plates that claimed to be compatible, but they were not.

OK, so if you lose your quick release plate what do you do? Buy the proper thing or a much cheaper version? In the end I bit the price bullet and bought the proper thing from Manfrotto. So glad I did, it fits like the old one (on a Manfrotto Compact Advanced tripod) and does up nicely on the camera.

Is what it is if I'm honest, without it your tripod it's useless! Relatively cheap for what they are and also given that you have no choice but to buy them. Sturdy, well made and more than capable of supporting heavy lenses if connected to the tripod collar, it will work directly to the camera, but it's never advisable to have so much forward weight on cameras lens coupling.

Great for my second tripod!
