1. Camera-Adapted High-Load-Bearing Structural Design (Safety + Durability + Easy Operation)

　　1. 20kg Load-Bearing Aluminum Alloy

　　High-Strength Alloy Base:

　　Using 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, CNC-machined in one piece (different from ordinary die-cast aluminum alloy), it boasts a tensile strength of ≥310MPa and a yield strength of ≥276MPa. Its overall thickness is 8mm (thickened to 10mm in key load-bearing areas) and it weighs only 120g (about half a can of Coke), achieving a perfect balance of "high load-bearing capacity and lightweight" – it can withstand a static load of up to 25kg (far exceeding the rated load of 20kg) and a dynamic load (when the camera is moving) of up to 22kg, without noticeable deformation or stress cracking. Corrosion and Wear-Resistant Treatment:

　　The surface is hard anodized (film thickness ≥ 15μm) with a hardness of HV300 (equivalent to 80% of the hardness of stainless steel), providing excellent scratch resistance (no noticeable scratches from keys). It is also salt spray resistant (no oxidation spots after 48 hours in a neutral salt spray test), making it suitable for shooting in a variety of environments, including outdoor beachfront and humid studios, and preventing the load-bearing degradation caused by aluminum alloy oxidation.

　　2. Quick Release Locking Security Structure

　　Dual-Standard Quick Release Compatibility:

　　Compatible with the industry's leading Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto 501PL standards, the quick release plate features a curved guide (Arca-Swiss, 14mm radius) and a positioning groove (Manfrotto, 18mm width) on the bottom. It can directly adapt to over 90% of professional tripod heads (such as the Benro BH-55 and SIRUI G20KX) without the need for additional adapters, meeting the interchangeability needs of users of different tripod brands. Dual Locking Anti-Fall Mechanism:

　　Equipped with a "knob lock + safety pin" mechanism, the system provides dual protection: ① The side knob features a non-slip knurled design (30mm diameter, tightening torque 5-8N·m) and an internal steel locking tongue (3mm engagement depth), preventing lateral movement of the camera when locked. ② A hidden safety pin (press-to-pop) on the front restricts longitudinal movement of the quick-release plate once inserted, preventing the camera from falling even if the knob becomes loose. In actual measurements, the locked state remained intact even under lateral tension of 50N or greater and longitudinal tension of 80N or greater, effectively eliminating the risk of a 20kg device falling.

　　3. Camera Mounting Details

　　Multiple Screw Hole Compatibility:

　　The quick-release plate features three sets of standard threaded holes: one set of 1/4-inch (20mm pitch, compatible with compact cameras like the Sony A7S3) and two sets of 3/8-inch (40mm pitch, compatible with broadcast cameras like the Panasonic AG-UX180). Two high-strength stainless steel screws (1/4-inch x 12mm and 3/8-inch x 16mm, both with anti-loosening rubber rings) are included. The screw heads are equipped with 2mm thick silicone anti-slip pads to prevent scratching the metal connector on the camera bottom during tightening. Anti-slip and Positioning Design:

　　The top surface of the quick-release plate, where it contacts the camera, features three diamond-shaped non-slip rubber pads (15×15mm, friction coefficient ≥ 0.8). Even without screws, the camera remains securely in place (tilted 45° without slipping). Positioning bumps (1mm height) along the edge of the rubber pads precisely align with the screw holes on the bottom of the camera, facilitating quick installation (no need to repeatedly adjust the position to find the holes). Installation time is reduced by 60% compared to conventional quick-release plates. II. Core Performance (20kg Stable Load + Professional Shooting Adaptability)

　　1. Load-Bearing and Stability Guarantee

　　Precision Performance Under a 20kg Load:

　　Under a rated load of 20kg, the quick-release plate maintains a fit tolerance of ≤0.1mm between the gimbal and the camera head (ensuring camera levelness and preventing tilted footage). After 72 hours of continuous load-bearing (simulating fixed-camera studio shooting), the aluminum alloy stress deformation is ≤0.05mm, with no "creep" (ordinary aluminum alloy quick-release plates are prone to creep, causing equipment to shift). When used with a tripod, the camera can rotate 360° without any lag on the quick-release plate, and the rotational resistance fluctuation is ≤5%, ensuring smooth camera movement. Vibration and shock resistance:

　　Meets the vibration resistance standard for professional film and television equipment (IEC 60068-2-6). Under vibration conditions of 10-2000Hz and 5g acceleration (simulating outdoor handheld mobile filming), the quick-release plate's connection to the camera remained intact, and neither screw nor screw came loose (the anti-loosening rubber ring plays a key role). A 1.2-meter drop test (with a 2kg counterweight fixed to the quick-release plate, simulating an accidental drop) revealed no cracks in the aluminum alloy, and the locking mechanism remained functional (whereas a standard plastic quick-release plate would have shattered). 2. Compatible with Professional Shooting Scenes

　　Quick Assembly and Disassembly:

　　To unlock, simply loosen the knob 1.5 turns and remove the safety pin (the entire process takes ≤10 seconds), making it suitable for fast switching between multiple camera positions (e.g., switching between fixed and handheld camera positions at weddings). During installation, the positioning bumps and anti-slip pads allow for quick, no-sight alignment of the screw holes. Tightening the screws takes ≤20 seconds, significantly faster than traditional tripods without quick-release design (which can take over 5 minutes to adjust).

　　Expandable Compatibility:

　　The quick-release plate features two M5 screw holes on the side, allowing for the following accessories: ① Lens support (accommodates telephoto lenses, reducing the weight on the camera lens); ② Monitor bracket (allows external monitors to be added without affecting the quick-release plate); and ③ Counterweight hook (hangs sandbags to enhance overall tripod stability), meeting the multi-device expansion needs of professional video shooting. III. Professional Camera Applications (Outdoor + Studio + Multi-Camera)

　　1. Core Application: Professional Video Shooting

　　Outdoor Documentary / Wedding Shooting:

　　Compatible with medium-sized cameras such as the Sony FX6 and Canon C70 (weighing approximately 3-5kg, ≤8kg including lens, well under the 20kg load limit). The lightweight design of the quick-release plate (120g) eliminates the burden on the tripod, making it easy to carry outdoors. Its salt spray and scratch resistance make it suitable for harsh environments like the seaside and desert. A dual-locking mechanism prevents the device from slipping due to wind or collisions, ensuring continuous filming (no interruptions due to equipment failure). Fixed-camera studio shooting:

　　For broadcast-grade cameras (weighing approximately 6-10kg) such as the Panasonic AG-HPX600 and Sony PXW-Z280 used in TV stations and corporate studios, the 20kg load-bearing capacity fully covers the equipment weight, ensuring 72 hours of continuous fixed-camera shooting without stress or deformation. The Arca standard is compatible with commonly used fluid pan/tilt heads in studios. The quick-release plate maintains zero displacement during pan and tilt adjustments, ensuring a level image (measured horizontal error ≤ 0.5°, meeting studio standards). 2. Extended Scenarios: Multiple Devices and Special Shooting

　　Multi-Camera Live Streaming:

　　One set of quick-release plates can accommodate three different cameras (adapting to 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch interfaces by replacing screws). Switching between multiple cameras requires only removing and installing the quick-release plate, eliminating the need to adjust the tripod head parameters. This increases switching efficiency by three times (for example, quickly switching between wide-angle and close-up camera positions during a live event). The 20kg load capacity supports a camera, external battery, and wireless image transmission system (total weight ≤ 15kg), eliminating the need for additional reinforcement. Telephoto Lens Support:

　　For shooting with a 150-600mm telephoto lens (e.g., wildlife and sports), a lens support bracket is installed on the side of the quick-release plate to distribute the lens' weight (preventing damage to the camera mount due to excessive force). The 20kg load-bearing capacity ensures overall stability of the tripod and quick-release plate, ensuring smooth, jitter-free long-focus shooting (measured jitter amplitude ≤ 0.1 pixel at a 100mm focal length, meeting professional video clarity requirements).

　　IV. Maintenance and Warranty (Professional-Grade Durability + After-Sales Service)

　　1. Low-Maintenance Design and Use

　　Daily Inspection and Cleaning:

　　There are no wearing parts (such as springs or plastic clips). Monthly inspections are required to: ① Check the knob lock for looseness (if loose, tighten); ② Check the non-slip rubber pad for wear (wear can be replaced separately at low cost); ③ Check the screw lock ring for deterioration (replace with a new ring if deteriorated to prevent loosening). When cleaning, wipe with a dry cloth and avoid using water or detergent to prevent damage to the anodized layer. Guaranteed Load-Bearing Life:

　　The fatigue life of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is ≥10,000 cycles (calculated as 9 years based on 3 disassembly and assembly cycles per day). At a rated load of 20kg, this service life far exceeds the typical camera replacement cycle (typically 3-5 years), eliminating the need for frequent quick-release plate replacements and reducing equipment costs for professional filming.

　　2. Professional-Grade After-Sales Service and Certification

　　Load-Bearing Testing and Certification:

　　Each batch of quick-release plates undergoes load-bearing testing by a third-party testing agency (with a test report containing static load-bearing, dynamic load-bearing, and vibration resistance data). They comply with CE (EN 12100 Mechanical Safety Standard) and RoHS 2.0 environmental standards and come with a "Lifetime Load-Bearing Warranty" – if a load-bearing failure occurs under normal use due to material or workmanship defects, a free replacement (shipping included) will be provided. Customization Support:

　　We support customization for specialized camera models: ① Adjusting screw hole positions (to accommodate cameras with non-standard screw hole spacing); ② Adding anti-slip pads (to accommodate the bottom of larger cameras); and ③ Customizing colors (such as the studio's standard black and red) to meet the personalized needs of professional film and television teams and TV stations. Customization takes ≤ 7 days, and customized logo laser engraving is available for bulk orders.
