Bring a slider or camera accessory into the Kwik Release System with this 3 x 3" Kwik Slider Plate from Kessler. This specific plate is designed to mount to sliders, providing them a central quick-release point for a support system, but works equally well with many other accessories thanks to a variety of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads spread across the base. The plate is also Arca-type compatible and features safety screws to prevent it from accidentally sliding all the way out. It includes screws and hex keys for securing certain items.

Pro tip...
This is a solid, very strong block of precisely machined aluminum which fits ultra sturdy into the Kessler Kwik Receiver. Pro tip: suppose you mount the plate to the base of a tripod head, jib, or slider using a single 3/8-inch threaded connection through the center of the Kessler plate. With sufficient torque, the head/jib/slider could potentially spin or unscrew/loosen (this concern applies to any manufacturer, not just Kessler). To help prevent this, get yourself a couple of short 1/4-inch set screws (a.k.a. grub screws) and thread them into the 1/4-inch holes in the Kessler plate (from the bottom) until they secure against the base of your head/jib/slider. Now you've created a clamping force that makes it much harder for the head/jib/slider to spin on the plate.
Kessler makes Great quick release stuff
We purchased this plate to go with our Kessler short slider. We also purchased a medium length quick plate for our camera and the received unit for our tripod. Honestly, I don't know why tripod manufacturers don't copy Kessler. This is the BEST way to go! So called "quick release plates" that slide on and off tripods are fine but this is MUCH BETTER!!! You just put your camera on it and gently push down...click, and it's on the tripod safely. Slide it back and forth to get the perfect balance, flip the lever to lock and you're ready to go. To remove, release the locking lever, push a button and lift your camera off. Easy. Got a slider? Same thing to lock it on to your tripod. We will never go back to the old way. I highly recommend this and all the items related to this system.
