Think through your application and a product will work.

Well, I've seen mixed reviews on this, though the clamp worked perfectly for my application. Know what you want the thing for and it will work.

Great for quick changes between small DJI gimbals and sticks

I use this to expedite transitions between gimbal and sticks on fast one man band shoots. I don't really have a ton of complaints, but I did have it come apart in a case just with travel vibration. I'd like if the hardware was threadlocked from the factory, but other than that, it's great.

thanks to mauricio for the answer and sorry to be thick. is there a diagram somewhere that could show me how to attach the bottom of the 2 pieces (receiver for the arca swiss QR plate). seems like i'd have to remove my tripod head and replace it with the receiver part? my tripod is a vanguard 263ap pro+ which has a pan/zoom type tripod head which i would not want to remove. anyone? thanks!
Asked by: ROBERT
You would be able to mount it to the top of your current tripod without having to disassemble anything. You would be able to mount it to the existing 1/4 20 on the tripod using one of the 1/4 20 points on the receiver .
