SMALLRIG Quick Release Base and Plate Drop-in HawkLock mini Quick Release Monitor Mount with 1/4" Screw, for Camera and Monitor, Max. Load 5kg - 3513

This seemed to be a bit of an indulgence - screwing a Lilliput 7" field monitor into a Smallrig 11" magic arm is fiddly for either the top or bottom 1/4" threads, or using the bespoke Smallrig cheeseplate for the back of the Lilliput - fiddly, but not impossible. However this small and secure hawklock mount simplifies the process, and takes away some of the irritations of setting up when time is at a premium. As I am generally filming out and about and in peoples' homes, the 'marginal gain' using this quick release plate and lock is worthwhile.

I have a tripod, monopod, mini tripod, all with different base plates. So i bought this and 3 separate base plates. Now i can fit the camera to all of these with out having to keep changing base plates. Work's well with a mirrorless camera

I use this with my Ninja V with a large Sony battery. The mount itself is great. Size wise and easy of use.

I wanted a small QR coupling to attach a 16" monitor to a desk stand. The monitor has a standard 1/4" tripod thread for mounting and this coupling means I can easily take it off the stand (for use as a portable monitor when away from my main desk). No fuss, no pfaff. Simples, as a certain meerkat is known to say...

Good product, good quality and works well but slightly expensive for what it is

Works really well, small and compact.

Very quick ideal for monitor or radio packs, solid well made

Does the job but feels a bit stiff to attach and detach once in place. Might be because its new to be fair
