It is available from Filmgear Canada for Vancouver crews and productions across Canada.
Product Overview
The 1973 purchase decision starts with the exact quick-release family and clamp/plate role named in the listing. It functions as camera quick release and a camera mounting plate. Before mounting it, check the receiving thread or rail, screw engagement, orientation, available clearance, cable path, operating access, balance, and the combined load of every attached item.

Purpose-Built Mounting Role
