A quick release plate is a small but extremely useful accessory that allows you to quickly and easily mount your camera on a tripod. A quick release plate simply screws into the bottom of your camera and sticks out on either side. It’s then compatible with a tripod head or other accessory that has a quick release mechanism, letting you attach and remove your camera in just a couple seconds. This can make it much easier to switch between multiple cameras, or use something else like a binoculars or spotting scope on a single tripod.
Here’s an excellent video from our friends at B&H that explains how quick release plates work:
Note that not all tripods have quick release mechanisms, so you may need to buy one separately. Most tripods with quick release mechanisms are sold with an included plate, but it may not be the best quality. As such, many people will buy both a new tripod head and a new plate, which as you can imagine gets expensive pretty quickly.
Many tripods use the Arca-Swiss standard for their quick release system, though there is also a Manfrotto-compatible system you should look out for if you have other accessories like ball heads or clamps from them.
