I ordered this for because I wanted to see what it would be like to have a quick release plate for my camera. I found out quickly that they are not kidding when they say these things are built for certain tripods. All the platforms on my tripods were too large for this Konsait Black Camera 323 Quick Release Plate with Special Adapter, but I'd buy it again as it was reasonably priced, metal, and I could tell that it will work when I get it on the right size platform or make one for it some day.
CON: The only con I've had with these is that they take a little getting broken in as they are a bit stiff when you first get them, and it takes a while before the mechanism runs smooth. That and you have to have locking mechanism off your tripod plate otherwise will jam up the works.
I'd also recommend this as it was a good buy and also has safety lock for added security.

Convert inexpensive aluminum tripod into a functional tripod with ability to quickly change heads
This is a great, inexpensive, quick change, quick release plate. I (relatively) easily converted my inexpensive vista explorer aluminum tripod into a functional, lightweight, travel tripod. I also use the Movo MB2000 Camera Carrying System Vest. I screw one of the round camera mounts into the quick release plates. This allows me to keep a tripod plate on the camera, instead of the round movo mounting plates. When I am out shooting, I can quickly access the camera for a handheld shot, or set up the tripod and quickly mount the camera on the tripod; without having to unscrew the round movo plate from the camera. I find this very convenient.Instructions for converting your tripod: 1. there is a small screw in the base of the plastic tripod head where it attaches to the center aluminum extension pole. Remove the screw and the plastic tripod head will come off the tripod. 2. The plastic head is basically cheap junk. I used a hair dryer to try to release the glue that holds the top of the horizontal axis swivel on. It broke, and the head was now in two pieces. 3. I used a hacksaw and cut the top part of the mounting plug off (the part that allows horizontal plane rotation. 4. Insert a 3/8 x 1 1/4 inch stainless bolt through the plastic plug and screw it into the base plate of the Konsait Black Camera 323 Quick Release Plate with Special Adapter (200PL-14). 5. Push the tripod plug back onto the tripod aluminum center post and screw in the small screw to secure the plug.You can now use almost any decent quality tripod head on your inexpensive legs. Most tripod heads come with either a standard 1/4 , or 3/8 in threaded hole. If your head is 3/8 in you will need a 1/4 to 3/8th adapter, available on Amazon. Alternatively, you could use the appropriate 1 1/4 in bolt and fasten your tripod head directly to the tripod plastic plug. I like the ability to quickly change heads- most of the time I use the Manfrotto geared head ($168.00) I also use a ball head for shorter focal length situations. I can now quickly switch to the most advantageous head.The project sounds much more difficult than it actually is. It only took me about 30 minutes to turn my cheap aluminum legs into a pretty functional, lightweight travel tripod. The center post will easily come out of the tripod after removing the retaining screw in the crank handle. The two pieces will now easily fit into my overhead luggage bag. Hope this helps.
