I need a cheap version of this:

The Manfrotto 323 quick release. I am making several video rigs and I want to be able to transfer from one to the other quickly and safely.

Thanks.

Cheapest thing would probably be ebay versions of arca-swiss rails.

Link please? It's hard to look for knockoffs because they don't usually list the real products name.

Just search on "arca swiss plate" or "arca swiss clamp" and sort by price.

Okay would these two work? It would be a total of $40 for a set, and then an additional $20 per plate I believe.

Should be fine. You might be able to find the plates even cheaper.

I should have asked this before, but what are you attaching the clamp to? Is this going on a fluid head or...

I have a diy steadicam I made as well as a set of handles for the 5D II to do video with. I want to do this instead of screwing the camera onto the 1/4 20 bolt everytime I need to change it up. I also have a tripod with a fluid head on it but it uses a different kind of plate, I wish they were all standard. I may be upgrading that tripod head one day though.
