Tripod Quick Release Plate

This custom adapter is specifically designed for my DOLICA AX620 B100 camera tripod. Initially, at 40 x 40 mm, I found it to be slightly loose, so I extended its length and width by a millimeter. The adapter features a contoured end that perfectly fits the clamp, but it only aligns one way - with the contour facing the clamp. To ensure a secure fit, simply turn the adapter until the contoured side is towards the camera's tripod mount at the back. For optimal stability, I recommend securing the adapter to a 1/4-20 x 1/2" screw on your camera tripod mount. To achieve this, I used a nylon screw and trimmed it to fit perfectly. The design was created using an older version of TurboCAD, and it was printed on my XYZprinting DaVinci 1.0. To enhance the grip even further, consider gluing a piece of sheet rubber or cork onto the adapter. Alternatively, you can print a pad of TPU 95 Shore and include it in your printing setup. If you don't have this pad, simply use a washer or shorten the screw by a little to ensure a snug fit. Note: To install this adapter, you'll need a specialized tool, which is easily obtainable for about 25 cents almost anywhere.
