Neewer QR5 501PL Fluid Head Quick Release Plate

The Neewer QR5 is a 501PL-compatible quick release plate engineered to make camera swaps fast and secure on fluid head tripods. Built from black anodized aluminum alloy, the plate strikes a practical balance between durability and portability—it can handle the rigors of outdoor location shoots while adding minimal weight to your kit. Both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting screws are included and are interchangeable, letting you attach everything from compact mirrorless cameras to larger cinema rigs and camcorders without needing adapters.

What sets the QR5 apart from basic release plates is its spring-loaded retractable pin, which locks into the fluid head to dampen vibrations and provide an extra layer of mounting security. This is especially useful during video work where even small camera movements can ruin a take. Non-slip rubber pads on the plate's surface grip the camera firmly and prevent scratching, so you can mount and dismount gear confidently. For photographers and videographers using 501PL-based tripod systems like the Neewer GM001, GM002, or GM006 heads, this plate is a reliable and affordable replacement or spare.
