ABSTRACT:
A camera quick release has a fastener axle that can be inserted into a fastener orifice in a fastener housing where a side-grip fastener lock is spring-pressured against a cylindrical wall of the fastener axle to hold the fastener axle circumferentially and linearly in a set position. The side-grip fastener lock is releasable by hand-squeezing a latch handle and a housing handle which combine to form a squeeze-handle. With the fastener lock released, the fastener axle attached to the camera or other instrument can be rotated as far or as little as desired to a different circumferential setting or it can be removed linearly for removal of the camera or other instrument. The fastener axle has a fastener bolt that is threadable into a camera-attachment bolt hole where it can be secured with a convenient thread-locking means.
