The universal Caruba Tripod Plate PU50 is useful to replace your 'old' quick release plate or if you want to mount another camera on your tripod. The top of the plate is covered with anti-slip material which also protects the connection of your equipment. The quick release plate is provided with a screw with a 1/4" screw thread and a D-ring. What makes this tripod plate extra handy is the built-in connection for a carrying strap.
