I got my first 323 setup a few years ago to help with those times when a camera and tripod need to be mated, then separated....then mated again....(repeat as needed!). This little device does a nice job on smaller cameras, I use mine for my video camera and tripod. I ESPECIALLY appreciate the fact that this has a safety lock that will not allow the camera to be removed...(read "accidentally dropped on the pavement")...if the clamping lever might be jostled. There is a fail-safe pin at the bottom that needs to be turned BEFORE the operating lever can be moved to the 'Open' position. This means that when the camera is mounted and the latch is closed, the camera will stay safely connected to the tripod. A VERY good feeling....!!! I'll add that for full size DSLRs, I prefer the Big Brother to this Quick Release. That would be the Manfrotto 394 RC4, a slightly larger unit with the same safety locking pin plus two built in bubble levels. Both of these devices exhibit the usual Manfrotto quality, a nice finish and well thought out accessories.Read full review

I tried a different brand (much cheaper) but could not use my Manfrotto plates with that adapter. This is an actual Manfrotto brand adapter and plate, not a knockoff. Quality is great as expected. Was worth the extra wait time to return the other and order this.

Very handy for swapping things quickly, like mounting the camera body for a short lens and then swapping to a lens-mounted long lens. Sturdy, easy to use, and additional plates are inexpensive.
