I love these Kessler Mini Plates. Sometimes I'm just not hungry enough to eat a whole big plate of quick release plates. Too many calories and just too tough on the old teeth. But these bite-size mini plates are perfect for snacks in between shots or right before bedtime. Yum! Oh, and they're great for mounting small cameras to Kessler quick releases as well. Perfect size for 35mm size bodies or small video rigs. Built solid. Burp!

Best choice for Kessler Kwik Mount for a DSLR Camera

Best option for a small DSLR Camera. Originally bought a Kessler Short moun,t but it was longer than needed for my Panasonic DMC- FZ1000 camera. In addition, the Short mount comes with both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 mounting screws: Because the slot for the screw has to accomodate both screws, the 1/4-20 screw falls out of the slot when removed from the camera. The mount must be removed from the camera to change the battery or memory card to allow the access door to open. There is risk of losing the screw in the field when opening the access door. The Kwik Mini plate fits better, has only the 1/4-20 screw for the camera (which does NOT fall out of the mount) and provides about 3/4 inch slide adjustment. Much better choice for camera mounting.

question

will the bottom of this plate sit flat on the table ?? with the plate attached to the camera ?
Asked by: Adam
No, it will not. It has two screw heads protruding. They serve as catches so the plate does not slide out of the head.

question

What is the spacing of the two countersunk mounting holes?
Asked by: Anonymous
About 1.25 inches or 32mm center to center. I have a photo with a caliper but I dont see a way to upload the image.
