KONDOR BLUE | Mini Lock Quick Release Plates for Camera Monitors, Arms, Accessories, Microphones, Key Lights | Quickly and Securely Attach and Detach Accessories on Your Cinema Rig | Blue

These mini lock quick release are the most reliable and nice to use of all the different mini lock quick releases available. The cheaper ones are alright, but not as rock solid as the kondor blue quick locks. I've never had a doubt they could hold my 5-inch monitor/recorders, microphones mounted on cameras/poles, audio recorders clamped with a magic arm. With all the versatile ways to mount/connect, these can handle anything you throw at them! Highly recommended!!

While not mentioned on Kondor Blue’s website, (unless I missed it), the mini lock works fine to attach a iPhone video cage rig to a tripod. At least in my case it is more than strong enough to hold the cage with all the usual parts, iPhone, usb-c hub, power brick, and ssd.

Came with an array of screws and pins. Snug & no wiggling.

This quick release feels solid and dependable for holding my monitor on different mounts I switch between. It’s quick enough that moving from gimbal to tripod and back is really easy. I did, however, expect the lock switch to be spring-loaded, similar to most standard camera quick-release plates. So, if you’re expecting to slide the plate into the receiver and hear a satisfying automatic click, keep in mind that you’ll need to lock it manually with your finger.
