Slik – Quick release plate
Product Description
SLIK has been designing and manufacturing their own high-quality tripods for more than 50 years. SLIK has won 6 prestigious Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry “Good Design” (G-Mark) awards. SLIK’s original and innovative designs have been copied so many times that some of their ideas have become industry standards.Don’t settle for a cheap copy, check out the quality and heritage of SLIK tripods, monopods, and heads.
I am not happy with this product or should I say the way the product was described. You can not simply exchange out the current plate on your tripod and replace it with this one and have a quick release. So I am not happy with my purchase of this product. Why not sell everything that is needed to have this piece work on the tripod?

Shame on Slik.
While this is a very well-machined disk, it arrives with
no instructions and no reason why it is paired with the Slik Sprint Mini. Completely incompatible. Obviously requires an additional mount….but this fact is not brought out in the ad.
Not worth my time to return it. It now lives in my useless photo gear drawer.
This single star does not reflect on the Sprint Mini tripod, which is best of breed.

These quick release plates work great with my SLIK Pro 700DX tripod that I recently purchased from Amazon via 17th St. Photo. The plates pop out easily and can be used on both of the Slik tripod heads that I own: the 800 ball head and the 3-way pan head that comes with the 700DX.
There are 2 sizes for my tripod: 3/8″ and 1/4″ .
You can buy an adapter from SLIK or MANFROTTO to adapt the smaller 1/4″ to the 3/8″ size. I currently have 2 of the 1/4″ size for my cameras and my binoculars but I want more.
Highly recommended!

What the heck is wrong with you people who bought this thinking it was some sort of quick release??? This product is an “accessory” to Slik’s quick release (which is VERY good) on their tripods.
With all due respect you should not give this thing 1 star just because you can’t figure that out.
I wish there was a way to review the reviewers on Amazon… you guys would get 0 stars in my book.

The product works as advertised. Be aware that the SLIK 700DX tripod comes equipped with one as part of the package. That fact was not clear in the description of the tripod. I got sucked into buying another quick release plate. A second one is fine if you have more than one camera, if not, you got yourself something you may well not need and for a rather spendy price.
