Description

This is to create a replacement Tripod Quick Release. It amazes me how many of these shoes are lost yet the camera and tripod are not.

A lot of these seem to have a 'key' so the plates are not interchangeable when they ought to be able to do so.

There is an easy-access nut recess at the bottom for attaching the shoe to the camera.

This should print as created without support.

Instructions

Take some measurements, key them into Customizer and print. And a bolt, and you are good to go.
