Abstract
A camera lock-plate assembly having an elongated base plate to be secured to a camera and a support body with an upper surface slidably receiving the plate with a tongue-in-groove connection between tapered ways on the plate and lugs on the body. The lug on one side of the body is movable both down against spring bias, so that the plate can be simply lowered into position with the movable lug snap locking into position, and then moved toward the fixed lugs, so that the plate can be manually clamped in place. The plate can be adjustably slid to position the weight of the camera by unclamping, but not unlocking, the movable lug.
