Quick Release with Tripod Mount Freewell FW-TPQR — Compatible with Various Tripods

The Freewell quick release with tripod mount is a compact, professional-grade mounting solution designed for fast camera attachment and removal. It uses a manual locking mechanism with an integrated safety to prevent accidental detachment, fits Arca‑Swiss-compatible heads and 1/4"-20 threaded cameras, and combines a lightweight aluminum construction with a built-in tightening tool. The unit supports loads up to 10 kg while remaining portable for travel and field work.

Advantages

Instant manual locking enables rapid camera mounting and swaps in seconds, saving time during shoots. A dedicated anti-accidental release system and a safety switch reduce the risk of unintentional detachment. The Arca‑Swiss design and 1/4"-20 compatibility ensure broad interoperability with tripods and heads. Constructed from aluminum alloy, the quick release is both durable and lightweight, and includes a hidden screw-tightening tool for convenient on-the-spot adjustments.
