- If you’re filming a lot of video, rigging your gear can be incredibly time-consuming. We’ve got a quick shoot-out that results in a recommendation for some gear that can save you time and frustration.
Here are the adapters I rejected:
Manfrotto: www.amazon.com...
Manfrotto clone: www.amazon.com...
Arca-Swiss from FocusFoto: www.amazon.com...
Arca-Swiss from Neewer: www.amazon.com...
Kondor Blue: www.amazon.com...
Oben: www.amazon.com...
Here are the adapters I standardized on:
Large Neewer: www.amazon.com...
Small Neewer: www.amazon.com...
Have fun. Let me know what you think!
The tightening knob on the pro video Manfrotto has a spring clutch, where it can be pulled backwards and rotated without loosening or tightening. Utilizing that, it can be tightened when space is limited.
I think with the big quick release on the Manfrotto, you can actually pull that knob out a bit in order to not have to move the camera forward. Maybe not for the one you have, but every one I've used does.
So, where do you stand on these 3 years later? Ive been hunting high and low for retail and diy innovations in this space and have yet to come across anything compelling in the snap lock domain. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great job! Thank you! I'm glad I stumbled across your video and I appreciate your methodical approach.
The final montage was worth the wait! \m/
Your video is especially prescient for me as I'm thinking about transitioning from a hex sided plate to something else (more equipment). Just because the hex plate or for that matter, arca-swiss, are industry standards, to your point, does not mean that it need be THE standard. Happened to pick up a Neewer single handle tripod ball before this video, so i'm leaning that way. Appreciate all your efforts and keep up the great work! PJ
Finally found the best video about quick release system. Good job.
Glad it helped
Greatly appreciate this! Tripods and quick release adapters are the worst to research to date.
100% agree XD first video telling something at least. Everywhere else is weird arcaswiss vs rc2 battles
Thank you so much for your comprehensive review, with a great solution.
Hi David. I really appreciate all that you shared about quick release mounts. I can't imagine the amount of time and money it took to reach your decision. I'm personally just getting started with youtube and still shooting from 2 smart phones, my GoPro and my little Cannon Vixia with a couple of lapel mics. But when I graduate to a new DSL camera, I'm more aware of the importance of getting the right quick release mounts. I like your solutions. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your research.
This quick release plate is convenient! The camera is attached to the tripod quickly and is very good! I also have four because it is convenient. The video was very interesting! I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)
Cool! Thanks!
Yes the main issue I have is in route to the subject I’m goin to be filming I don’t want my camera hooked up to my tripod cause it’s just a recipe for disaster. So I do all my connecting when I arrive and it’s frustrating when the subject is actually right there ready to be filmed and I have to take 4 min to connect securely & properly cause I’m not watching my expensive equipment tip over and smash. So a quick release is a must. But that’s my situation. Wildlife photography
Arca-Swiss style plates are the industry standard. If one chooses a clamp with a lever lock, they are as efficient to mount or dismount as any of the ones suggested in video. Many lenses come with Arca-Swiss plates as standard. Just my experience from shooting professionally in 1960’s and my hobby today.
Yeah, I had intended to go with Arca Swiss, but I didn't like doing the little screwing in and out thing. I found very few (and pretty expensive) clip-on Arca Swiss plates, so I went this way.
Great video! I decided I needed to do the exact same thing a few weeks ago, and (although I didn’t test a load of others) ended up using the larger Neewer units for everything. Very happy with them.
Yeah, I'm going to use them upstairs in my office as well. I have a mic arm that hangs over my desk with a mic attached, and I'm going to put a quick release adapter on it so I can quickly turn it into an overhead filming rig for simple desk filming. I'm real happy with these so far (about two weeks in).
The perfect video for what I was looking for tonight :) Been looking onto a quick release for my Canon M200 for DJ streaming. I'm going to use this and share it with my friends as well. Thank you!
A great video! Thank you!
Nice explanation. I only have a 20 year old walmart tripod. I wanted to start shooting video from a tripod and was so confused about all the mounting options. This cleared it up!
Still one of the best movies about QR plates. I also was looking for the best QR and springloaded system. Thank you, sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Really great video! Happy to subscribe. I'd love to see an updated video about mounting hardware.
One important bonus of going with arca mounting: it's a standard! Unofficial and poorly implemented sometimes, but a standard still. That means more availability, more competition, more compatibility.
I agree. I started with Arca, but found it was too "twisty" for my needs. It's a good option, though.
Thanks, will the Neweer Black Aluminum Alloy Quick Release QR Platefits on Manfrotto 494 and 496 ball heads? and takes acra-swiss (plates and L brackets)?
No idea. But Amazon has a pretty good return policy, so you might want to just get it and test it.
Nice vid. On the large video head in the beginning, the small locking lever/screw pulls out to reposition its place during rotataion.
Didn't know that. Thanks!
Hi, first of all I love the first introduction part: still relevant today as it was last year. I had some of the neewer plates, but the clamp sometimes rotates and not stay in place, when I unlock it. is it something you experience as well?
So far, I haven't had any problems, as long as I pay attention when securing them. I've missed closing them once or twice, so it's place-check, not place-do-other-stuff now, and that works for me.
I love the Neewer QR with the bubble levels. I have 4 of them and they work great with all my gear!.= Im still trying to figure out what the spring loaded peg or ball that sticks out on the front is for?
I'm not sure. I removed a few of them. Probably to provide positive tension against whatever it's being attached to.
great video. exactly what I was looking for. thanks a lot!
Thanks!
Great video. Thank you.
Good stuff. Thanks!
YESSSS. THE BEST!! Thank you man!!
I honestly just have a bunch of Ulanzi Claws all over~ my only issue is that it's kinda small and the rigs can't sit stable on tables. Otherwise it's the fastest and most reliable system for me, they support a good amount of weight, work in any orientations, and are only $20 a set
They are cool. Oddly enough, they didn't show up in my Amazon research.
Am I the only one who was waiting for him to say, "So... I broke out my 3D printer and...?" :D
I thought about it initially. I do have a great way of embedding brass fittings into 3D models. But I wanted something made of metal to handle the weight and the sheer forces. Would have been cheaper, though.
@@AdvancedGeekery Well, you are just so clever at figuring out things and designing solutions that I always expect some cool DIY solution to things like this! You have spoiled us!!! Keep up the good work, and stay COVID free. We need you!
Thanks for the video! Leave it to a "Sole Survivor" to know how to mod things right!
:)
Is there any reason you chose to wear a black shirt knowing you were going to be handling black cameras, black lenses and a black tripod making everything all but invisible?
I have great fashion sense? I don't know. It was the top shirt on the pile, most likely.
Buts it vault 111 which is cool
What is that little thing at 13:16? Is it a GoPro or a tiny monitor?
It's a cheap $40 GoPro clone.
Great video thank you.
You're welcome.
Not impressed with anything you have shown -- I long for the "Good-ol'-days" when the Stroboframe Quick Release system was available! Click, it's on, push, it's off -- I've used it for years -- yes, with all of their anti-twist plates. You did soooo much fiddling around here, that if I did that in a Wedding, the B&G would be halfway through their honeymoon, while I'd still be fiddling with ANY of the QR stuff shown here.
Have you looked at the Ulanzi Falcam F-38 system?
Nope. But then again, I don't do weddings.
You should have left the stuff on the table and messed w it you brought it too close to the camera. But thanks for the information
Hi take the knob out and turned it
12:25 How *not* to normalize audio.
Nice video, but ruined by soft vocals and loud audio.
"take a look"
*actually shows nothing, obstructing stuff with his hand*
