This quick release bracket and plate works well. May be a little long if attached to a DSLR camera body, that is the plate may extend forward too far and interfere with the lens ring controls. Also locking mechanism may be hard to turn since it is so close to the camera's body. You might consider a smaller plate/base system for DSLR work. I have worked past these problems... Just giving a heads up.

I use Canon XH- Series and Glidecam 4000 Pro. make my life easier. I do not have to align my Glidecam 4000 Pro every time I take the camera off. I love it.

This review is from: Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter w/Sliding Mounting Plate (3433PL) (Electronics)

Purchased a lightly used 501 Fluid Head and realized I was going to need at least one extra plate. One comes with this rapid connect adapter, but the adapter filled another need I hadn't anticipated.

I had previously ordered a SpiderBrace (shoulder mount brace) to use with the Canon T1i for "handheld" video and this adapter gets the camera up just that extra little bit to align it better with the eye (with either Hoodloupe 3.0 or CAVISION viewfinder assembly over the LCD screen).

In addition to being able to slide the adapter plate forward and back to adjust "eye relief", I find it a little easier to "aim" the camera to either side or even a bit back over the shoulder. And it is just as flexible with my Canon HF100s.

All this and being able to "swap" from SpiderBrace to tripod in seconds!

Great product.
