Quick release bracket

chrisa · 25th of July 2012 (Wed)

Has anyone set up any kind of quick release mount for their macro bracket? I'm talking about how the bracket mounts on the camera.

as far as i have seen - nope. in fact there are those who go with a dual camera setup - one for their mpe and one for their up to 1:1 lens...because it is so the opposite of quick release!

have you looked in the macro rig thread?

So, after going through the many suggestions

I threw a cheap quick release tripod thingy on there.

Works great.

I turned it around after the pic was taken. The lever faces inwards now.

Seems to be. I hold on to the left side to support most of the weight.
