Vello Cool Tool - Camera Plate Combo Tool

By Robert

It works perfectly for tightening the screw on my quick release for my tripod head. Using either the straight blade screwdriver or the hex key, they both provide the necessary leverage for my old arthritic hands. It fits on a key ring or in my case a little carabiner attached to my camera pack. It's a handy and convenient little tool. I brough two...!

Works great for just about everything. The wide slotted screwdriver and the hex key is ideal for most of the QR plates I own.

Maybe don't go through an airport in India with it. Security folk there confiscated my 4 mm 2 inch long hex key from my camera bag claiming it was a weapon.
