Quickly mount and unmount a magic arm, monitor, microphone, or other accessory on your camera rig using this blue male quick release plate component of the Mini Lock Quick Release System from Kondor Blue. This redesigned mini quick release system consists of this quick release plate and a separately available female base receiver, which lock together using a quick release lever. It is even smaller and more functional than previous mini quick release plates, but it retains compatibility with all previous mini quick release plate models.
The quick release male plate features an integrated NATO rail and 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, each with ARRI-style anti-twist divots around them, for solidly mounting an accessory. There are also removable anti-twist pins to accommodate different configurations, and they are storable in the plate.
Mini Lock Quick Release Plate
- Female ARRI style mount
- Male 1/4"-20 ARRI style mount (3mm pins are removable and storable within the plate)
- Integrated NATO rail
- 1/4"-20 thread
- Any of the above options combine with a centralized M4 set screw
Secure Locking
Because of the tiny footprint of the Mini Lock, achieving tight tolerances is critical for secure locking. The safety latch, which still features its unique ability to stay fixed when open, now features an integrated M4 nylon tip set screw.
Using the included 2mm hex wrench, a user can fine-tune the plate-to-plate fit by simply adjusting the set screw. The nylon tip smoothly glides along the surface of the male quick release plate removing any potential play, all without marring the surface.
