SHAPE TGCFP Overview

SHAPE's Touch & Go Quick Release System is designed to be compatible with the Sachtler 35, 120mm OConnor Euro, and Ronford Baker RBQ Touch & Go systems, allowing for swapping to and from these systems. It consists of a Receiver Base and Touch & Go Flying Plate. The plate can be attached to the bottom of many cine cameras and the cameras then mounted on the Receiver Base or the bases of the above third-party systems. The plate can likewise be secured on the bottom of camera rigs.

Offering 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads on the bottom, the Receiver Base allows you to attach the mounting plates of other Touch & Go systems on the bottom of it. In this way, it can be mounted on those systems. The result is that it provides support for the plate size of the above-mentioned systems as well as its own. Technically though, because it offers mounting threads on the bottom, there's nothing to stop you from attaching it to various other supports, as long as you're able to somehow secure them to the bottom of the Receiver Base.

When the included Touch & Go Flying Plate is inserted into the Receiver Base, it snaps in and stays there. A lever on the rear locks it tight. This same lever also releases the plate.

Works Beautifully

We Underslung A 20lbs Camera Set Up And It Held The Weight Really Well During A Moving Shot. It Also Saves So Much Time On Set When Docking Off A Tripod Head

Can be good, but be aware of quality drift.

TLDR: There's a 1/3 chance you'll end up with one that is perfect, and a 2/3 chance you'll end up with one that is not. I bought 3 of these to use as an ecosystem with my camera cart. One of them is perfect, has a very smooth locking action and a clean click when the lever locks. Unlocking is smooth and it's easy to use one handed. The second one has a a semi-smooth lever action, but does not click when locked (it does still lock). It needs some force when entering and leaving the locked position. The third one does click when locking, but requires significant force to unlock while holding the locking button. I would return the 2 sticky bases and try to re-roll for better ones if I didn't need them for a shoot right away. I would give 5 stars if they were all of the same quality as the first one, but 1/3 are bad odds for receiving that.

What is the weight rating of this system? Could it for example hold a Sony Venice body with a heavy cine lens upside down fine?

Can this accept and use a Sachtler QR 16 plate? This is the same plate used on the Sachtler V18, V20, tripod heads.
Asked by: James
I think the QR16 from Sachtler is compatible with Mini-RBQ or Mini Touch n Go system. The SHAPE one in question is full size RBQ.

Hi! Is there a similar SHAPE quick release (with the same baseplate) but with a 15mm rods system? I want to be able to keep this system in a gimbal and be able to switch to a system with rods on my tripod without having to switch the baseplate. Thanks a lot !
Asked by: tercio
Currently, SHAPE does not offer such a system. The main purpose of this Touch and Go plate is to be able to swap from a tripod head to another application and adding a rod system to it would conflict with the baseplate. Since we want this unit to be compatible with as many tripod heads as possible, it would be hard to average a rod system without conflicting with the height of the baseplate
