Does what it's supposed to do wellI needed this adapter plate to mount a Manfrotto Elbow bracket onto a non-Manfrotto focus rail for a cheap VR setup.

Multi camera to multi tripod solutionThis is the perfect interface to mount multiple small to medium sized DSLRs and camcorders to multiple tripods. Small and relatively light-weight the Quick Release plate snaps into place and locks securely. Best of all it screws into the base of DSLRs and camcorders via a butterfly screw (no coins or screwdrivers required). I have a 200-PL QR plate fitted to all of my cameras and the base assembly fitted to all of my tripods and monopods. A lighter weight alloy would have been nice (for travel where weight is critical) but it is still lighter than most on the market. Precision engineered - can't be faulted for quality or value for money.

Good solution to move camera body aroundI do real estate photography, and have several of these 323 QR mounts! They have become my defacto standard.
Makes it very quick and easy to move my dSLR camera body from a tripod to monopod, to the hand held pole system, or to the vehicle mounted 17m telescopic pole system.
The two-stage safety release provides peace of mind that the body cannot fall out of the mount.

Great quality product from ManfrottoWe've applied this adapter to the Steadicam Pilot for simple and effective camera attachment with minimal effort.

Simple and UniversalI have bought this unit many times as I have multiple tripods. I use these plates to interface between tripods and cameras/flash units.
I bought this product to connect my flash units to some cheap tripods. I could've used the plate system that came with those tripods, but then those plates wouldn't be compatible with my camera tripods, which could also be used to hold the flash units.
So for ease of use and flexiblity I soley use the 323 Quick Release Adaptor w/200PL Plate system as a universal interface between all of my photgraphic equipment that can be mounted to a tripod.
I attach the Manfrotto base unit to the top of the cheap tripod's quick release plate, instantly converting it to the 200PL Plate system.
The Quick Release Adaptor system is strong and secure. Once locked in, I have 100% faith in the connection.
I love that it comes with the 3/8" to 1/4" thread adaptor. This wasn't the case five years ago.
The only negative point is the underside of the unit, it won't lay flat on a flat surface due to the safety mechanism latch. You need to place a 6mm spacer between the flat surface and the underside of the base plate if, for instance, the tripod plate has large area.
