Velbon 1/4 X 20 QB5L quick release

myminifactory

I was looking for a quick release plate to upgrade my Velbon S-400 tripod, but I couldn't find one with the right thickness and hole size. So, I created this custom solution if anyone else needs it. It fits any tripod with a Velbon QB5L quick release. This particular design is tailored for a 1/4-20 bolt, which you'll need to screw through the plastic, past the threaded area, to secure it in place. That way, the screw won't fall out when you remove your camera. I printed this plate with PLA, but I plan to use ABS for my panomount project.
