Manfrotto 323 RC2 System Quick Release Adapter with 200PL-14 Plate

I needed this adapter plate to mount a Manfrotto Elbow bracket onto a non-Manfrotto focus rail for a cheap VR setup.

This is the perfect interface to mount multiple small to medium sized DSLRs and camcorders to multiple tripods. Small and relatively light-weight the Quick Release plate snaps into place and locks securely. Best of all it screws into the base of DSLRs and camcorders via a butterfly screw (no coins or screwdrivers required). I have a 200-PL QR plate fitted to all of my cameras and the base assembly fitted to all of my tripods and monopods. A lighter weight alloy would have been nice (for travel where weight is critical) but it is still lighter than most on the market. Precision engineered - can't be faulted for quality or value for money.

I do real estate photography, and have several of these 323 QR mounts! They have become my defacto standard.Makes it very quick and easy to move my dSLR camera body from a tripod to monopod, to the hand held pole system, or to the vehicle mounted 17m telescopic pole system.The two-stage safety release provides peace of mind that the body cannot fall out of the mount.
