After a lengthly research on what the best rapid connect would be for my tripod and camera, I found the Manfrotto Rc2. Upon receiving if very fast from the seller I tried it out and woo, it sure was better than the cheapee one's on the market. I tried it out one cold morning (20 degrees) and it was very easy to use in the cold weather when fingers tend not to work so well. I would recommend the product to other people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tripod quick release adapter, September 2, 2007

I wanted quick release capability on my small travel tripod and this works great! Easily mounts to either 1/4" or 3/8" top screw of my tripod head via a "screw-in" adapter on the RC2. Comes with a 3157N quick release connect plate I mounted on my Nikon D80. Very fast and secure. Great quality. When mounted to the tripod it only extends the compacted travel length by about 1/2" as the adapter pivots with the tripod ball head to the side for storage. Highly recommended. I was initially looking at an entire Bogen head with this type adapter but this option saved money and allowed me to use the original ball head on my tripod. A very smart idea/option from Manfrotto BOGEN.

This quick release system performs just the way it should.
The quality of materials is excellent!
The flip lock assures that your camera isn't going anywhere
when you attach to the tripod.
Very quick and easy!
