For shooters who need to quickly switch between various stabilizations systems, the Arca-Type Quick Release Plate and Clamp from PGYTECH couldn't be any easier. The clamp accepts a male Arca-Swiss plate with a spring-loaded latch, then locks in place with the slide of a button. To remove, slide the button to unlock, then press it to release the plate from the adapter.
The bottom of the adapter mounts on the standard 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 male threading on a tripod or gimbal. The ideal scenario is to have a plate adapter mounted on each of your supports to seamlessly transition your camera from one clamp to the other.
The SnapLock system is designed for speed and simplicity. Using a simple spring-loaded clamp, the camera can be mounted with just one motion. It doesn't require the extra locking step to hold steady, but that option is available for extra security. Dismounting is just as easy, pressing the lock button to free the plate from the clamp's grip.
When each of your supports has a SnapLock plate adapter, shooters can quickly dismount their camera from a tripod and clamp it onto a slider, gimbal, or handheld rig in record time. Alternatively, those with multiple cameras can use this system to rapidly take one camera off sticks and mount another.
