Manfrotto 577 Quick Release Adaptor w/501PL - Compatible with the 501PL camera plated (supplied with the head 501, 503 and 505 Video Head) and the special 501PLONG accessory plate.

So Essential
Honestly, the more of these available the better, having multiple of these has made transitioning from glidecam, to tripod to shoulder rig, seemless and effortless. Best asset to have and I bought 3.

Good but problematic
The 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.

A must have!
I use this to move my camera quickly between my video tripod head and my Glidecam 4000. It is directly compatible with the Manfrotto 701HDV head making it incredibly simple to transfer between supports. I think I need another one for my slider!!

Glidecam Essential Accessory
Good manfrotto quality and easy to use. 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 body

I would buy this product again
It was recommended that we purchase this to make placing/removing the camera on the glidecam. Would not say it is a nessecity, however does make it easier to put the camea on/off the gldiecam equipment rather than screwing into the camera.

Ultra Fast Release is more accurate!
This 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!

I would buy this product again and again
I 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.

Works a treat
The only problem I had with this product was that the lever interfered with the glide cam but after reading some forums & reviews I realised this can be fixed by pulling the lever out from the body and readjusting!

Standardise all camera mounts
With all my tripods and video heads being Manfrotto, when I purchased my SteadyCam, it had an odd mount. This mount was purchased and fitted to my SteadyCam to standardise all camera mounts.
This product allows me to interchange cameras fast and makes filming much easier. I can go from shoulder mount to trypod in seconds.

Add versatility
I use all Manfrotto tripods in my business, and recently purchased a steadycam (not Manfrotto). By using this mount, my cameras can mount to any of my holders without having to change the baseplate. Makes mounting very convenient.

Great product, but needed a minor fix.
Safety mechanism that stops the camera plate sliding out once the locking knob is loosened was not effective. Elongating the slot slightly (1 or 2mm only) with an electric drill fixed the problem. Plenty of mounting options is good. Very happy with the product once adjusted as above.

"makes life easier"
Was relieved to find that I could change angle of 'tightener' on side by simply pulling out and turning. Up til then it was getting caught on my camera and was beginning to thing I'd bought the wrong product. As it turns out this product is extremely well built and useful.

Manfrotto 577 Quick Release Adaptor
I 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.
Will this plate fit the Manfrotto 500A Fluid head?
