I've been using the Falcam clamps and plates for about six months on neck straps and backpacks and love the system. I wasn't sure I would feel the same way about this device on a tripod/monopod but I've been pleasantly surprised. The lockup is very solid, which was my biggest concern. Right now I'm using this primarily on a monopod because that's where ease of use is most important. Something that can snap in with one hand is ideal while in the field. As usual, the Ulanzi/Falcam design and construction is excellent. I will be buying more of these as I catch them on sale.
