Submitted 5 years ago.ByMikeFromCanberra, ACTVerified Buyer Verified Buyer Verified BuyerThe quick release plate is a great idea, but it depends on what you are going to use it for.I bought this to use with the Glidecam HD2000 but there are several problems you have to overcome to make it work.Firstly the glidecam plate that the base of this attaches to, does not have holes big enough or spaced probably apart to attach enough screws to hold the plate securely in place. To get around this you need to make one of the holes on the glidecam plate bigger.Secondly when you put the base plate on the bottom of a camera (such as my GH4 or Blackmagic Pocket) the plates lock to keep the camera in placce often hits the bottom of the camera, making it impossobly to lock the camera on to the release plate. There are a couple of options to work aorund that, such as taking the spring out of the lock.If you are happy to make work arounds for these issues, the plate is solidly constructed and does sit nicely on my glidecam now.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friendWas this review helpful to you?

Have it on top of GLidecam HD4000 to allow quick removal and easy switching between Manfrotto Monopods and tripod with Manfrotto 701 HDV head. Simple piece of kit but makes switching between glidecam and various supports very quick and easy, using the same QR plate(501) on the camera bodyBottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friendWas this review helpful to you?
Submitted 6 years ago.ByUltimate Productions InternationalFromSydney NSW AustraliaVerified Buyer Verified Buyer Verified BuyerThis rig is VERY fast! It is solid and you know it will last a lifetime. For those reading this who love and use Manfrotto, this is just another superb quality product in their line-up. For newcomers, once you go with Manfrotto, you will see what I mean.Out of all the reviews I saw for the Glidecam HD-2000 there was only one QR plate attached! - enough said!Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friendWas this review helpful to you?
Submitted 7 years ago.ByIngenero StudiosFromMelbourneVerified Buyer Verified Buyer Verified BuyerI purchased the Manfrotto 577 Quick Release Adapter to use with my Glidecam HD4000. Seeing that the Glidecam's 'quick release plate' really isn't that quick at all - I needed something that would be fast on the job at weddings, music shoots etc. The Manfrotto 577 does exactly what it's suppose to do.The quick release slides into and out from the base-plate from the rear side only, as marked by a white arrow. It's a really solid build which means that its pretty heavy (for myself that was a good thing). It has a safety release button as well as a half-turn locking switch. A cool (and important) thing that it does as well - if you pull the locking switch out, then turn it, you can relocate the locking positions of the switch (I NEEDED to use this feature as it was hitting the base of the Glidecam).
The only downside to it is that it doesn't come with any mounting screws to mount onto your Glidecam, dolly or devices - but in saying that, my Glidecam did come with screws so that con didn't effect me. I highly recommended product.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friendWas this review helpful to you? Submitted 9 years ago.ByZiggyFromPerth, Australia.Verified Buyer Verified Buyer Verified BuyerI bought this camera plate with the intention to mount it to a custom built tripod with suction cup feet that can be attached to any flat surface such as a car door, window, table or even upside down. The fact that is has multiple mounting screws, with a large number of combinations, allows for easy installation to any of your existing hardware. It includes two different threaded mounting screws that will fit most small to medium camera's and video camera's. I am very pleased with the material that it is constructed form, very rugged but still quite light.I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick release mounting plate.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friendWas this review helpful to you?
