The Quick Release Base market breaks down like this as of 2026:

Ronford Baker, the industry standard. $634. Repairs ship to the UK. Great plate if yer okay waiting a month and paying international shipping every time something needs attention.

Shape / Wooden Camera, $351–$399. Made in China. Operators have documented failures inside a year.

Clean’s QRB, $450. Machined in the USA by a craftsman with 30 years in the industry. And here’s the part nobody else offers: it’s repairable for life, at a modest price, no matter how old it is. Send it back in five years. Ten years. We’ll fix it.

That’s not a warranty. That’s just how we do business.

Compatible with all large-format quick release systems, O’Connor 120mm Euro plate, Sachtler 35, Arri BP9. Multiple 3/8″-16 threaded holes for just about any mounting config you can throw at it. Eight anodized color options, because yer kit should look like yer kit.

Why 75 operators, ACs, grips and even a sound guy or two gave it 4.99 stars:

  • USA-machined aluminum, tight tolerances, satisfying click every time
  • Works in every orientation, horizontal, vertical, upside down, doesn’t matter
  • Repairable for life at a modest price, no matter the age
  • Ships free. Colors are special order, pre-order yours at the top of the page.

The QRB does not include a Touch & Go plate, you can add one here. Want the QRB + Touch & Go as a complete system? That’s $525 and the last QRB you’ll ever need to buy.  I also sell the small size mini-QRB as well as the mini-touch & go plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the QRB come with a Touch & Go plate?
No, the QRB is the base only. You can add a Touch & Go plate here for $110. If you want the complete system (QRB + Touch & Go), that’s $525 total and is the setup most operators run.

Does it work with the Arri BP9?
Yes. All Clean’s QRBs work with the BP9, no special version needed. The 3/8″-16 threaded holes line up. Check the gallery for the exact hole positions.

What’s the difference between the QRB, QRB-L, and QRB-DV?
The standard QRB has the release lever on the right. The QRB-L is mirrored, release on the left, so yer right hand stays on the back of the camera. The QRB-DV adds a built-in dovetail for rigs that need one. If you don’t have a specific reason for either variant, the standard QRB is the right call.

Can I get a custom color?
Yes, all eight anodized colors (Black, Red, Blue, Gold, Green, Orange, Gun Metal, Pink) are available as special order. Pre-order at the top of the page and check the current delivery window. Standard lead time is a couple of weeks.

What happens if something breaks?
Send it back. Doesn’t matter when you bought it, we’ll fix it at a modest price. That’s the lifetime repair policy and it has no expiration date. Email us first so we can sort out the details.

Is this the same as the Ronford Baker RBQ?
Similar in function and form, the QRB is inspired by the Otto Nemenz version of the Ronford Baker Quick Release Base. It’s compatible with the same plates and systems. The difference is it’s machined in the USA, costs $209 less than a Ronford Baker, and doesn’t need to go overseas for repairs.

What’s the lead time on backordered items?
1–3 weeks on standard backorder. Check the pre-order banner at the top of the site for the current scheduled delivery date.

Build the Full Cart System

The QRB is the centerpiece, here’s what pairs with it:

  • Touch & Go Plate, the plate that lives on yer camera. Drop in, click, done.
  • Spinner Plate, mounts under the QRB, rotates 360°. Get through doors without pulling the camera.
  • Riser, raises the QRB to proper working height on yer cart. Pairs with the Spinner for the full setup.

When I started to 1st AC, I was in desperate need of an efficient quick release system. After researching, I decided on Clean’s Quick Release Base. It is by far the best QRB I’ve used. I’ve used them in various orientations, holding all kinds of camera builds.Now that I am starting to cam op more than AC, I still find reasons to use these QRBs. They fit perfectly on my old Technovision Head — a mod that makes it now function more like the Arrihead.As a business, Clean’s Camera Support, has been kind, helpful, and professional throughout my career. If I had a question, I received a speedy email response starting with “Howdy” and all the answers. Needless to say, I have no more questions, just orders!

Cleans Pink RBQ was the best RBQ I've ever own. I helped David launch the Pink RBQ campaign when I initially inquired him about anodizing mine pink and it required a lot of effort & the community to go in on the color. It was absolutely worth it! People are now purchasing the Pink RBQ and are rocking it on set!Unfortunately my beautiful Pink RBQ was stolen from me this year but I absolutely plan on owning one of these again someday!This RBQ was so reliable that I trusted it with any camera rig configuration possible. Anytime I used it on set - everyone was always complimenting the color and the features of the RBQ. Attached photos!I'm very happy to see that Pink is now a purchasing option on this page. Thank you David for this product and for making the pink anodizing dream happen again!

Every AC needs an RBQ plate at some point, so you might as well buy one you like to look at. I bought Clean's QRB because of the price, quality, and color options. When I started ACing a few of my AC friends highly recommended Clean's products. I have a black and orange theme with my film gear so it was a no-brainer to buy the orange QRB and matching Mitchell plate. The quality is top-notch and the anodized metal is done very well and the color is vibrant. The pricing is also very reasonable compared to other RBQ plates and they work just as well. So I can't recommend them enough and have been very happy with my long-term gear investment.
