Markins Quickshoe

Dovetail Style Quickshoe QL-60

Lever Release Quickshoe for Dovetail Plates (Patented & Patent Pending):

Markins Lever Release Quickshoe is a major breakthrough for professional photographers. It combines the best of both worlds, efficiency of lever release and compatibility of screw release. It is lightening quick and easy to fully open and close the quickshoe, while it has the flexibility to be adjusted for plates that are slightly larger than Markins standard.

• Easy Opening and Closing: The quickshoe opens/closes fully in one quick lever action even with hand with glove on.
• Adjustable Clamping Distance: The clamping distance is user-adjustable by turning the adjustment screw for plates larger than Markins standard such as Kirk or RRS.

  Note: We recommend the lever style release only if one has plates from single maker. Though this lever release quickshoe is adaptable to accommodate different brands of plates, it won't be practical to do so in the field with mixed brands of plates. We strongly recommend to use a single brand of plates with this lever release quickshoe. With mixed brands of plates, the traditional screw-knob style quickshoe will be more flexible.

• Convertible Lever Arm Position: The lever arm is convertible either left or right hand position for one's own convenience.
• Compact Design: The lever arm stays compact either opened or closed position.
• Laser engraved position marks.
• Built-in spirit level for leveling.
• Spring loaded detent pin to protect plates from accidental sliding.
• Safety stop relief for plates with stopper screws.
• Enclosed moving mechanism to keep the dust out.
• Rounded corners and edges for safety and ergonomics.
