Product Information
Full details
The PGYTECH Shoulder Strap Quick Release Clamp & Plate is an essential accessory for professional and hobbyist photographers who need to switch between shoulder straps, tripods, and stabilizers without wasting time on manual screw mounts. This system provides a secure, rapid-lock solution that ensures your camera stays attached while allowing for near-instant removal when a handheld shot is required. While the build quality is robust, it is important to note that users should verify their specific tripod head compatibility, as it is designed primarily for square Arca-Swiss plates.

Troubleshooting
Camera feels loose when locked in the clamp
Ensure the Arca-Swiss plate on your camera is fully tightened and the clamp jaws are completely closed around the plate edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the system, first attach the included quick-release plate to the bottom of your camera using the standard 1/4-inch thread. Ensure the plate is tightened securely before mounting. To connect to your strap or support, attach the clamp to the desired device. To engage, slide the plate into the clamp until you hear the lock click. To release, simultaneously press both release buttons. For maintenance, keep the interior of the clamp free of dust and debris, which can accumulate during outdoor use. The scratch-resistant finish is easy to clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could degrade the hammered paint surface.
