Description Videos
 

The Kwik Release System is a unique, patent pending mounting system featuring solid billet aluminum and stainless steel construction. With a one hand drop-in instant latching and push button drop-gate release, this mounting system is strong, secure, fast and easy to use.

Once the mounting plate is snapped into the receiver, the plate can be adjusted but it cannot slide out of the receiver thanks to the secure safety stops. We also built in an ultra-strong cam lock that, once tightened, will secure the plate with absolutely no slip. We have designed the Kwik Release System to be as modular as possible with mounting plates available for cameras, sliders, motion control heads and more.

We stand behind our products 100%. Our Kessler Lifetime Warranty backs the Kwik Release system.

*Note: Please be sure to choose a correct camera plate with your receiver. If none is desired - choose "None".

Great Product February 21, 2013
Reviewer: Erik from Chicago, IL United States  
This is well-machined and a great time-saver if you have multiple mounting options. I have two different-sized Sachtler heads for my tripod/slider and the Hercules head for my jib and swapping out plates for different single-camera applications was aggravating. I also don't trust most other options akin to this because they were all seemingly designed for smaller rigs (relatively) and lacked versatility.

Enter this baby! Just holding it and watching carefully as I examined the precision of the locking mechanism made me feel very comfortable with it and the short and long plates are great options. The release system is VERY strong and has multiple mounting options. I've bought 3 now and all I had to do was mount my touch-and-go plates to the first two and the last lives on top of the Hercules head and it solves all problems! I don't have to worry about keeping track of different plates and bolts since they're all in use on these systems!

Kwik Release January 31, 2013
Reviewer: Chris Weatherly from Evansville, IN United States  
I purchased the Kessler Kwik Release to replace the Manfrotto 577 quick release system. Not on is the build quality far superior, but so is the design and engineering. With the Manfrotto, lining up the release plate and adapter was time consuming. On top of that the plate lock was located on the side and would get in the way of things I had mounted to my camera. It was more like a wrestling match than anything.

The Kessler design makes things faster and easier to deal with when switching between support systems whether it's a tripod, slider, jib, etc. I highly recommend the Kessler Kwik Release and plan to purchase several more to add to all of my camera support systems.

Superb December 3, 2012
Reviewer: Danny Grizzle from Longview, TX United States  
I purchased the Kessler Kwik Release system to replace a Manfrotto 357 quick release. While the Manfrotto is adequate for many applications, it does not compare to the superb build quality of the Kessler. Whereas the Manfrotto appears to be cast metal, the Kessler is precision machined from high quality materials. There are extensive mounting points, enough to accommodate any conceivable application. I configured my Kessler Kwik Release with the Utility Plate - perfect for center mounting my Philip Bloom Pocket Dolly. This is simply a superb item with extraordinary attention to detail in both design and manufacture, a product which inspires complete confidence. One of those rare items that seems simple, but so well refined and executed it can be appreciated as art.

Kwik Release November 26, 2012
Reviewer: Stamm from Canton, MI United States  
i own three Kwik release systems along with 2 utility, one long and short plate.  This is the best release system on the market with many mounting holes on the plates and release system.  Feels tough and durable has lasted many jobs with my cineslider and works great mounted to my tripod.  Easier faster system than others on the market from what i have tried. clamping the plate tight from the rear and mounting the plate from the top just make so much since why didn't anyone think of this sooner.
