Comments about Quick-Release Plate for Sunpak 7001DX, 6060, & 5800D Tripods:
Found a like-new SunPak Platinum tripod for next to nothing ($1.50), but it had no quick release plate with it. Thought I had wasted my money until I found B&H had the plates in stock. Bought two so that now I have a neat, lightweight but sturdy tripod setup for my camera & video recorder.

I have a nikon d7000 and it's in use all the time. The quick release is unobtrusive on the bottom of the camera and I'm easily able to switch back and forth from tripod to hand held in a second.

I use this with a lightweight camcorder most of the time and it works great. I have even used it with my wife's Nikon D7000. Definitely sturdy enough for that as well. I like the folding tab that lets you unscrew the base really easy and the built in level is handly. Glad I was able to find this since I got my tripod used without any plate.

Comments about Quick-Release Plate for Sunpak 7001DX, 6060, & 5800D Tripods:
I was so glad to find this plate for my 5800D tripod. I picked up the tripod at a thrift store, not realizing it was totally useless without the missing quick-release plate. The plate works just as it is supposed to. I couldn't find it anywhere else, but B&H. I read a review that said the plate had a little spring-loaded button on the top, that was cheaply made, and I was glad that I had read that when the item arrived, or I would have been confused by it. It may have some purpose, but totally not necessary for my old Canon Rebel Ti. Construction of the actual plate is good. It's great to have the tripod back in action. Just disregard the little button thingy, you don't need it. As for the tripod itself, I'm disappointed in the stability. I recommend using the timer, so you're not wiggling the tripod when you depress the shutter release. Not the best tripod, but if it's what you have - you definitely need this quick-release plate.

Comments about Quick-Release Plate for Sunpak 7001DX, 6060, & 5800D Tripods:
I like quick releases, and this one is good because of the level included and the grabber underneath that lets you unscrew the camera even if it is on too tight. The action of this piece, a function of the tripod really, is a bit mushy, but if you use the 7100 or the 5800, you pretty much have to have one of these.

Comments about Quick-Release Plate for Sunpak 7001DX, 6060, & 5800D Tripods:
I make videos, so I need this on a daily basis. I like how easy it is to unhook cameras from the plate and how easy it is to release the plate from the tripod (just pull the lever and it's released!) It's also very handy having a level on it...crooked videos are never a good thing.
So far the only bad thing I've noticed is that a little piece that sits behind the screw has broken off. It actually broke off the first time I put my camera on it. I really don't know the function of this thing, but I'm sure it's there for a reason.
Overall, I would recommend this product to amateur videographers. It's very sturdy and does exactly what it says.

I have had a 5800D tripod for quite a long time but had not used it for many years. When I went to use it recently (new camera) I discovered that I had no quick release plates. They arrived on the expected date and work perfectly. I was surprised I could find them to begin with. Very happy with the product.

I had lost the head for our tripod and the slot was smaller than most other brackets. This one fit perfect.
