Ulanzi UKA02: a second camera on the same quick-release system

You screw the top plate onto the camera using a 1/4″-20 thread. If you equip another body in the same way, you do not have to move the plate from one camera to another. The practical benefit therefore lies not in the screw itself but in repeatedly attaching to a compatible base. Before mounting, also check access to the battery and the space around the tripod thread of your particular camera.

The non-slip pad helps limit movement between the plate and the camera and protects the contact point. What matters is correct seating and tightening of the screw; the pad will not solve an unsuitable geometry on the underside of the camera. The plate is made of aluminium and is simple in construction. It suits a user who already knows where it will be clicked in, rather than serving as a standalone universal adapter without a follow-on system.

The photo shows the top plate working together with a quick-release base. However, the UKA02 as sold does not include this base. The release and locking mode and the mounting of the lower part relate to the specific counterpart, for example the UKA03. Moving to another support also does not automatically guarantee that a gimbal stays balanced: that depends on the whole setup, the camera position and the stabiliser used.
