Mini Lock Quick Release Plate System | NATO Rail, ARRI-Style Anti-Twist, 1/4-20 & 3/8-16 Mounts, Zero Play Locking for Monitors, Arms, Accessories | Cardinal Red

The Kondor Blue Mini Quick Release is hands-down one of the best accessories I’ve added to my camera rig. This little piece of gear is built like a tank—all-metal construction, tight tolerances, and a premium feel that you just don’t get with cheaper alternatives. Mounting and unmounting gear is lightning fast now. Whether I’m switching from a tripod to a gimbal or need to pull off a monitor mid-shoot, this quick release system makes it effortless. No more fumbling with screws or stressing about stripped threads—just click and go. What I love most is the compact size. It’s low-profile but incredibly secure, with a satisfying locking mechanism that gives you total confidence your gear is locked in place. And the anti-twist design is a game changer—nothing wiggles, nothing shifts. Kondor Blue is known for quality, and this mini quick release lives up to the name. Whether you're a filmmaker, photographer, or content creator constantly reconfiguring your setup, this thing saves time, frustration, and helps keep your workflow smooth. I’ll definitely be picking up a few more!

These mini lock quick release are the most reliable and nice to use of all the different mini lock quick releases available. The cheaper ones are alright, but not as rock solid as the kondor blue quick locks. I've never had a doubt they could hold my 5-inch monitor/recorders, microphones mounted on cameras/poles, audio recorders clamped with a magic arm. With all the versatile ways to mount/connect, these can handle anything you throw at them! Highly recommended!!

Solidly made and a perfect fit for several applications. I use it to mount power distribution iron block to my cage, and this makes assembly a snap, literally. The locking ever is solid and functions well. This is surprisingly versatile.

Build quality is good, makes it easy to switch out components, I wish it came with a extra plate for the price.

This are expensive but worth it 100%! If you use your camera a lot and need to change from photo to video all the time! Soo if thats the case, this are for you! And they are grate!

While not mentioned on Kondor Blue’s website, (unless I missed it), the mini lock works fine to attach a iPhone video cage rig to a tripod. At least in my case it is more than strong enough to hold the cage with all the usual parts, iPhone, usb-c hub, power brick, and ssd.

This quick release feels solid and dependable for holding my monitor on different mounts I switch between. It’s quick enough that moving from gimbal to tripod and back is really easy. I did, however, expect the lock switch to be spring-loaded, similar to most standard camera quick-release plates. So, if you’re expecting to slide the plate into the receiver and hear a satisfying automatic click, keep in mind that you’ll need to lock it manually with your finger.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product is almost a 10/10. I only wish that the ANTI-TWIST of the male plate worked reversibly for the 1/4-20. Like I wish I could insert anti-twist rods INTO the holes, not only have it extend OUT of the 1/4-20. Still, this is the industry standard for a reason when it comes to quick releases.

Awesome I bought 2 10/10 easy install and release

Its good, use it to hold my monitor on a magic arm, works good

Buen producto pero no era compatible con mi rig, de cualquier forma buenos materiales, se nota de calidad.

This is perfect for use with my action cameras. I use it for my car (on the glass) and for my tripods. Not as smooth as the original Kondor blue, but cheaper and does the job.
