I recently purchased the Andoer Quick Release Clamp and Quick Release Plate, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance.

The clamp securely holds my camera in place, giving me peace of mind even during extended shoots or when using heavier lenses.The quick release mechanism is smooth and efficient, allowing for seamless transitions between tripod setups. It’s incredibly easy to use, with a well-designed locking system that ensures everything stays in place without unnecessary fiddling. The plate is lightweight but strong, making it a great addition to any photography kit.Overall, this product is a fantastic choice for photographers or videographers looking for a high-quality, dependable quick release system. It’s versatile, well-made, and offers excellent value for the price. Highly recommended!

I am an amateur solo videographer, and am often alone in situations with multiple cameras and mounts. I needed a solution where all my cameras could be quickly swapped between tripod, gimbal, monopod etc. in live situations like concerts. I was tempted by the Ulanzi solution, but I had a number of ARCA Swiss plates already in use and thought the Ulanzi has quite a small footprint for potentially bulky gear.So I bought one of these Andoer plate and mount combinations. I loved it so much that I ordered 4 more. The side lever has 3 positions (best read the instructions). Fully closed, half open and fully open, with a safety lever to prevent accidental changes. So, you can remove a camera in literally one second by moving the lever from closed to fully open, with moves the clamp sideways to release the ARCA plate. The side screw allows adjustments for varying plate sizes, but isn't used to make the release. Reverse this process to mount the next item in a similar time. I can now mount these clamps on all my tripods etc. for seamless movement between mounts of cameras or anything else with an ARCA plate. Highly recommended.

Was a bit pessimistic about how good this would be, for the price as soon as I had purchased it started thinking, do I really want to balance an 5d iv on something this cheap and almost wrote it off and purchased one by manfrotto before this had even arrived.Held back and have to say I'm glad I did, this cheap and cheerful little clamp had better reviews than the Manfrotto and I can see why.Camera (fitted with L bracket) seems solid as a rock on this.Thought it would be a pain having to have the safety catch at front but not at all, very accessible when camera attached.For anyone using an L bracket would recommend this, seems very sturdy and holds the camera rock solid.

OK, the Andoer Quick Release plate only arrived a few hours ago but I have already played with it a little, and it does appear to have good build quality - I will test its capability and that quality over the the next couple of months when I take it to the deserts of Namibia for testing. I haven't used a 'quick release' lever before but this could be very useful.I bought a Manfrotto MPMXPROC4 Monopod recently and needed this plate so that I could use my Smallrig L-bracket, attached to my Sony RIII. I also own the Sony FE 100-400 f2.8 and wanted to ensure that the Andoer QR plate fitted correctly with/to the lens shoe. It does. I prefer using the shoe rather than the L-bracket because the Monopod (or tripod) would be more balanced.The Manfrotto monopod has both a centre ¼" and ⅜" screw, the outer screw thread cleverly spring-loaded so you can push it down to reveal the smaller screw thread inside it, and this screws directly into the plate.It is not expensive compared with Manfrotto accessories and, if it performs as expected, then great value.

I've noticed some reviews being negative about the design but in practice it has what it takes. It has a quick release lever but also a knurled adjuster opposite, both move side plates in and out. I got this to replace my Three Legged Thing quick release plate, it only had the quick release lever but not all Arca Swiss plates are created equal. I have three different widths to contend with. The old one had to be adjusted with an Allen key out in the field when needed and that certainly wasn't "quick release", the bolt became worn after two years of use. The Andoer plate's design combats this problem very effectively, less than one turn and it's locked tight. I'm very happy with it's performance so far. The only thing that I miss about the old one is the level. However my cameras have that built in on live view so no worries. I'm very pleased to have saved myself £50 buying this instead of the TLT one.
