Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket

The lock knob is reposition-able, which I learned from contacting B n H. Product apeears to be very solid, functionable, and well desgned!!

It's great to be able to rotate from portrait to landscape so easily. A flip of a knob and it rotates- simple as that. So fast! There are also clearly marked angle indicators. Rotation is smooth and it locks in place with one hand. It can mount to either Arca -Swiss or Manfrotto simply by rotating the plate. A big thing to consider though: to use this, if you have a battery grip on your camera,you must remove it. If your camera has a large grip that is non-removable, you might not be able to use it. My D7100 with grip is too tall and only fits without the grip. Check your camera's measurements against the specs before buying. If the mounting plate could adjust for larger bodies or cameras with grips (such as my D7100 with grip attached) I think it would be 5 stars. But this is kind of a bugger that makes it either a bit more of a process for me to use to use, and for others who cannot remove their grips impossible to use.

An incredibly well designed and machined quick rotating bracket. Very versatile with one flaw. I would give this a 5 star rating except for the one problem: no pin in addition to the camera screw mount to keep the bracket from twisting. With another pin to prevent the twisting, this bracket would be perfect.

I just received my qrb95 in the mail. Upon assembling the bracket, I've discovered an issue. I have the Swiss arca plate facing down ready to mount on my tripod and the 501PL plate facing up which is larger in width. The bracket lock knob won't fully close/lock because it hits the wider 501PL plate. This is an issue because the camera is not stable. Configuring the 501PL plate facing down there is no contact from the bracket lock knob. Hard to believe it was designed liked this? Did I get a defective product or is there a fix for this? Looking forward to a resolution to this issue.Thank you

This is the only option I found for this product. When I started in photography, almost 40 years ago, there were several. I was skeptical, but it seems to work pretty well. I have it on a relatively lightweight travel tripod, with a Canon 7d and Tamron 18-200 lens (very light weight lens) and it's relatively well balanced. I was so glad to find this because I've been using a hinged rotating bracket that's just not solid any more.
