Peter - There is a solution to this HIDDEN release button!! Remove the 4 screws that hold the upper mounting plate to the lower (longer) mounting plate and then rotate the upper one by 180 degrees. Now your lock will face the BACK of your camera instead of under your lens. You must also remove those 2 little silver screws on top so that you'll be able to side your camera on from either direction, critical if you're using a gimbal. Just use the small end of the included Allen wrench. Just be sure to use the locking mechanism's rotating feature to securely lock your camera now that the lock button is more accessible. This is a great unit and if you're using it to replace the similar parts on the Weebill-S you'll be pleased to know that it weighs 50 grams less!

[@KevinLe]

I'm super late to the game but your video solved one annoying issue I personally have with my S1H & The RS2. and that's the quick release plate that comes with the RS2. It slips periodically causing the camera to twist on the RS2. So now i'm getting the plate. thank you!

[@lifestylebyfornebuporten1328]

Thanks for the keeping us up to date.

[@PeterMakholm]

You are welcome.

[@muteoptics6737]

Great video Pete. love the Mtb edit.

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks.... It was great to get out and shoot again

[@helencogan2187]

I purchased two of the others.. LOVE THEM!! Thanks for all the info.. what will be next from them?? LOL

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes, time will tell.

[@paulg3388]

I have this base plate and I love it, so thanks for the Video. I have one question which is around the focus puller that comes in the RS3 box. I can't seem to find a way to add the bar and focus puller whilst using the F38 plate/connector. I will re-watch your Video and try to pause it and see how you have managed it, as I can see it clearly on your Gimbal. thanks Peter great Video !

[@adrianoc7105]

Thank you to show us this unbelievable product! I’m still don’t understand just one thing. Why we should buy the gimbal plate + quick release if we already have the gimbal plate? If we lose the gimbal plate it is very useful otherwise no.

[@YoshiWright]

I'm sorry but that is a DOPE shirt!!

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes mate. You can grab on at MKBHD merch store.

[@MrMilanina]

Time passes by, I hope they'll come out with RS3 version so one could mount focus' rod.

[@BoomixDe]

Very good video, but sometimes hard to follow when you say: "this system", "that system", "this one", "the other one" when you don't know which one is which

[@paulfairchild8942]

Super useful, thanks

[@PeterMakholm]

You are welcome mate.

[@BoxcarsWorld]

Ulanzi, just give us what we need... make it compatible with a Peak Design Capture plate!

[@PeterMakholm]

That would have been really great.

[@rodinnyfotograf]

did you try it? is a ulanzi quick release clamp compatibile with a Peak Design Capture plate? if yes - its marwelous :)

[@BoxcarsWorld]

@@rodinnyfotograf He and others have stated here and elsewhere, it is NOT compatible unfortunately.

[@PeterMakholm]

@@rodinnyfotograf hi. No I haven't tried it. It is a bit smaller then the peak design capture clip.

[@rosyaugust7095]

After I watched previous video, I bought two set of quick release plates. It’s very versatile. Loved it. New one is better than old one?

[@PeterMakholm]

It is not better than the other. I would only get it if you want the tiny screw or clamp on the quick release plate.

[@rosyaugust7095]

@@PeterMakholm thanks 😊

[@markshirley01]

@@rosyaugust7095 can you buy just the base plate only or do you have to buy the combination of base plate and top plate. Seems a waste as I only need 1 top plate and 3 base plates.

[@rodrigodeantonibrito]

Nice! But how to install a rod mount to use the rs4 pro follow focus?

[@GoandLove]

So is this the same attachment that will fit into the Peak Design clip? Thanks! Great video!

[@motoed]

I was wondering the same

[@GoandLove]

@@motoed I have now purchased this and can confirm they are NOT compatible. But honestly this system is so worth it! I got their backpack clip and the gimbal attachment

[@willvisions]

Will this hold a fully rigged cinema camera in place?

[@c_3_r_254]

hey peter! Thanks for the video. After the last video about F38 i ordered two of the quick release plates. These are definitely the best I've used in so far. Unfortunately I didn't quite understand why you only recommend the baseplate for Weebill S without FollowFocus ...? to adjust you can move the FollowFocus on the rod and you can also adjust the basplate itself. I am confused ... 😅

[@PeterMakholm]

That’s beacuse, At some points the mounting rod of the followfocus will be in the way depending of the size of your lens. and there for you will have to move the camera forward to get past the mounting point.

[@paulfairchild8942]

Just ordered 10x of these. They look perfect.

[@usernamehandle]

Please sell me one because they are no longer available lol

[@EssanceFilms]

Can you fit a lens support bracket on there?

[@thepaintpeople]

Do arca Swiss plates fit in?

[@varunmehta9719]

Hello Peter, Thanks for the video. Will these quick-release plates work with DJI Ronin SC too?

[@KID_CULTURE]

What quick release plate do you have at the bottom of the gimbal holding the legs and the handle? Also, what handle is that?

[@CRISSBLAZINY]

Works with RS 3???

[@angelospoulis6554]

can u put this plate on a classic manfrotto tripod? thanks

[@KevinMullarkey]

With the f38 baseplate mounted on my weebil 3e i find it impossible to get the perfect balance as the camera now sits a fair bit higher causing it to tip back or forward with the slightest touch. It seems to balance ok once the gimbal is powered on. Did you encounter this?

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

I find that this F38 plate vibrates as I walk; there is a bit of play in it whereas the stock one does not. You don't have any vibration issues?

[@PeterMakholm]

@@CaliforniaPhantom no not at all. Try to check out my latest video about the q38 quick release

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

@@PeterMakholm perhaps I just got a bad plate? I should make a video and post; because I’m getting micro-vibrations when I use this system and when I grab the camera and move it when the gimbal is in locked position and I actually wiggle it a bit.

[@jesusgarciaencuentra6001]

Good morning, can I mount it on the moza air gimbal? Greetings

[@markshirley01]

I can't seem to find the base plate only - it only seems to be sold as a combination, or am I wrong.

[@AlfaMedtech]

How would I prevent the f38 quick release from rotating since it is only attach with 1 screw to the base plate of the weebill s ?

[@PeterMakholm]

Just tighten the screw firmly. I have been using quick release plates with only one screw for year's with no problems.

[@gegeni22]

Is there also a solution for the new Hohem MT2?

[@ruialmeida5884]

...well or about dji sc? Is it compatible?

[@fracture7]

Just one quick question, does this plate works on Manfrotto video head 500ah? Cause if it does work then is really convenient for me to switch in between weebill S and tripod when filming weddings

[@dianaadamson6666]

I have the F38 with the attached baseplate and a Weebill S. I cannot figure out how to remove the original Weebill S slider so I can install the F38 baseplate. What am I missing?

[@runepedersen1570]

Thank you, Peter, for helping us all out! Do you think the baseplate/quick release from Ulanzi for RSC2 would fit Sirui VH-10X video head as well?

[@usernamehandle]

Sadly, I don't think they sell these anymore! Like... as of this week! Wtf

[@TaoCovillault]

Peter: At 4:36 you said there is no difference in between having the base plate + F38 and having the dedicated F38 plate. Is it also the same in terms of height ? Because I noticed that you didn't have the lens support on, is it possible to put it on or the camera is too high with both systems ? I am considering switching from the PGYTECH Quick Release to the the Falcam because of the cage, the F22 capabilities, the top handle that can double as a side handle or underslung mode for RS3 etc But it's quite an investment to switch the whole eco system and I don't find the RS3 super stable so I always put the lens support usually. Thank you 🙏✨

[@109eh]

do this base work with Weebill S?

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes, just be aware of what I said about the follow focus if you are using that.

[@PAINFULLYGIFTEDVISUALS]

Does either of these work for the crane 3s

[@johnharper5696]

Hi Peter, Does the Quick Release Plate fit on the Weebill 2 Pro. Thank you.

[@kassandracarrettini9904]

Does it work with longer lenses? I have a EF adaptor so normal quick release don’t normally work.

[@SergeCousineau]

Hello Peter Since I know you have Ulanzi as a sponsor…which I bought many Falcam product for my DJI RSC2 and more … I am looking to find ulanzi f38 quick release backpack strap clip the company doesn’t sell them no more or produce them no more . Thanks in advance for helping me out Serge H&S 👩‍❤️‍👨🌈🇨🇦

Hi Peter , will this plate fit onto the Benro S6 PRO Video Head

[@SalvadorAndradeHN]

Does it work with the RS3 also?

[@SalvadorAndradeHN]

Update: it does, bought the RS3 and been using the F38 with it just fine.

[@zonhisham]

Very catchy soundtrack. May I know the name of artist and soundtrack. Thx Pete

[@sardanapalos]

can this plate F38 fit on the Dji ? mine seems that it cant fit... am i missing something?

[@yusufisak]

Hi, does the weebill S version of the baseplate locks safely to the gimbal and prevent the camera from falling forward or backward?

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes the baseplate works perfectly with the weebill S

[@yusufisak]

@@PeterMakholm awesome. thanks!

[@09williamsa]

Hi Peter, I already own the F38 quick releases and use them with my Weebill S and when putting my A7III on my tripod, as per your recommendation. I am now planning to flush out my handheld rig by adding the Smallrig cage to my A7III, a basic 15mm rail system, top and side handles, and then the new Smallrig mini matte box. My question is do you think the F38 plates mounted to the bottom of my rail system would be able to take the weight reliably when say placed on a tripod? Ulanzi quote them as being able to handle up to 15KG of weight, much more than my rig would come to, but I wonder if you think this holds true?

[@georgelin6472]

Does it fit weebill 2?

[@Qlimax_ZH]

What do you hold @ 0.43? Some kind of side rack to which your gimbal is attached?

[@chrisheeran]

Where can i get the screw for the baseplate? I have lost mine and cannot use the gimbal. Thank you!

[@findingefilm]

Hi Peter! Great video - im looking for the older version, where the camera arca plate mounts from the back or front, rather than from the side. Do you know where I can buy it? Thank you. From William, DK

[@charlesnetzler2262]

Is this similar to the zhiyun weebil s quick release? I liked how that one you can go from gimbal to handheld so quickly without having to rebalance.

[@LanceRazon]

Hi, having the original baseplate + the regular ulanzi base plate = added height, question is will I have problems when Mounting the focus motor? Thanks

[@DwayneKSmith876]

Greetings. I use one of these RRS B2-LLR II lever clamp on my tripod and an L-Bracket on my camera when shooting architecture. Will that clamp or one of the smaller ones, 50mm and 60mm, work on the Weebill S, allowing me to switch from shooting stills on tripod to video on the Weebill S?

[@reedbehindthelens]

Does anyone have this for the Crane2s? Does it fit for the vertical aspect for the gimbal ?

Does the baseplate work on the Ronin-S Gimbal?

[@weisianglim5333]

Hello Peter, apology as i may have miss view that in the video - i noticed it is a smallrig baseplate instead of the original baseplate from DJI RSC2? I will not be able to use the DJI original base plate together with the Ulanzi Falcam F38 only right?

You can use the ulanzi plate with the original plate. By adding it on top of the quick release.

[@weisianglim5333]

@@PeterMakholm Hello peter, thank you so much for the prompt response. Greatly appreciate. Oh as original plate (one end is flat while the other end has the mount for the plate) Do you mean we can use the flat side to put the ulanzi plate?

May I ask you about Crane 2s quick released plate, it can be used with RSC2 ??? I own Crane 2s and I'm planning to get RSC2. I just wonder can it be used together or I have to buy the plate seperately

Hi. No you will have to buy the baseplate for either zhiyun or DJI. It is not one a universal one.

[@Nqrgaard]

Does it work with the Zhiyun Weebill 2 also? 😊

[@thebasinmusic8259]

My FX3 balances perfectly on my Weebill S.....right up until I try to use an F38 QR. Raising the height of the camera from the mounting plate of the gimbal seems to prevent me from balancing it. Given that I know how to balance the setup well without the F38, I don't think I am doing anything wrong when trying to balance it with the F38. Maybe you have a tip for this situation?

[@daaddyo1249]

I've been experiencing nothing but issues on my weebil s since using a quick release plate for my a7siii, never realized that this could be causing it. I have been getting a bunch of horizontal wobbles with it, did you experience the same thing?

[@joshholgate9425]

Hi Peter - with the Tamron 28-75 I'm noticing the camera 'bobbing' up and down slightly. I'm balancing at around 50mm and auto-tuning the motors. Do you think I need to give the tilt motor more power to stop it bobbing up and down? Thanks in advance!

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes. Then I would add some power to the tilt motor...

[@joshholgate9425]

@@PeterMakholm That seems to have done the trick, thank you very much for the quick response! Was very close to settling on using the 35mm (which I love) on its own but for weddings there's something about getting tight on faces!
