Fast Swap

Makes swapping ball head for gimbal so much easier

Something you need but never knew

These things are magical. I have them on nearly everything. From equatorial mount to fluid heads to ball heads to magnetic plates to cheese plates. Basically everything but the dining room China, but my wife better not go away on a work trip or she might lose that battle. No required directional orientation. They just grab on and then you tighten it and can even lock it. I do wish it was a little more metal design, but meter also wears and rusts, so I can't fault that too much. 44 lbs load limit is amazing. I've always wanted a quick release to swap out heads and this does exactly that while also expanding other things you can mount to your tripod quickly.

Is this better than the Manfrotto Move system, it seems to be much cheaper?
Asked by: Mateo
The Manfrotto XCHANGE is Manfrotto's more traditional quick-release system, best for focusing on tripod head and accessory swapping, while Manfrotto MOVE is a newer, faster, more flexible quick-release system that's a bit easier to use and more versatile for changing between many types of accessories, including tripods, sliders, gimbals, stands, etc.
