The original KONDOR BLUE Mini Quick Release Plates have become a rigging essential and are ubiquitous throughout the industry. With micro revisions along the way, it was time to go back to the drawing board and create the ultimate Mini Lock for professional camera accessories.
Not only is the design overhaul smaller, lighter, and more feature-rich, but it is also compatible with the original Mini Quick Release male plates, anti-twist cradles, and ecosystem accessories. This allows users to upgrade with confidence knowing their initial investments have not gone to waste.
Mounting security is paramount. There are several pro mounting options for the male quick release plate:
Female ARRI style mountMale ¼ 20 ARRI style mount (3mm pins are removable and storable within the plate)NATO rail¼ 20 or ⅜ 16 receiving threads¼ 20 or ⅜ 16 mounting boltsAny of the above options combine with a centralized M4 set screwThe female Mini Lock receiver also received new mounting options. The receiving ⅜ 16 threads are now deeper for more security. Removable 3mm anti-twist ARRI style pins can also be added in either orientation. The outer profile continues to be compatible with KONDOR BLUE’s range of anti-twist cradles as well. Stainless steel mounting hardware for all the mentioned configurations is included with the kit.
Because of the tiny footprint of the Mini Lock, achieving tight tolerances is critical for secure locking. The safety latch—which still features its unique ability to stay fixed when open—now features an integrated M4 nylon tip set screw. Using the included 2mm hex tool, a user can fine tune the plate-to-plate fit by simply adjusting the set screw. The nylon tip smoothly glides along the surface of the male quick release plate removing any potential play, all without marring the surface.
Each line, cut, and engraving has carefully been considered to enhance the reliability of Mini Lock. Available in a variety of colourways, the KONDOR BLUE Mini Lock is the perfect solution for mounting crucial cinema accessories.

The 16x9 Inc. CineLock is a convenient quick-release mounting device designed to work with all Noga Articulating Arms.
INGENIOUS DESIGN16x9 Inc.'s Cine Lock enables fast and easy non-thread mounting and removal of the arm and its cargo through an ingenious dove tail design. The device is made up of two parts, a male and female wedge/dove tail plate. The male plate is fitted onto the top and bottom of a Noga articulating arm. The female piece is attached both to the surface where the arm will be anchored, and onto whatever object the arm will hold. Once all pieces of the device are in place, the arm can easily be mounted onto a camera handle or tripod, for example — and a monitor or light can easily be mounted onto the arm itself.
SIMPLE & EASY TO USEBy sliding the dove-tail to the wedge plates, the unit is locked into place. Simple and easy to use, the Cine Link speeds up camera set ups and break downs on set by eliminating laborious and time consuming threading. The system mounts quickly and effortlessly onto virtually all 1/4" - 20 and 3/8" threaded female threaded surfaces.

The LNK is a patent pending quick-release connector composed of two identical halves. Designed and machined with minimal tolerances, every LNK is hand assembled, adjusted and inspected to ensure smooth connectivity, operation and a solid fit.
Two Identical HalvesThe LNK solves a common problem that standard film industry connectors struggle with: male and female "gendered" halves.
Need three female connectors on your camera to provide options for the position of the operator's monitor but only one male for the monitor's Noga arm? With standard connectors, you would need to purchase three sets to provide the needed three female halves, while the two unused male halves get lost in an AKS at the back of the truck.
With the LNK you would only need two sets. Three of the halves go on the camera body and the remaining LNK on the Noga. Connect any LNK to any LNK.
All the versatility you needEach half of the LNK system offers a through-hole and threaded-hole for both 3/8-16 and 1/4-20 with the hardware provided. Ever try to attach a transmitter with a threaded-hole to a monitor that only has threaded-holes? Industry standard connectors struggle with that. Since LNKs have through-holes, connecting two threaded-holes is a cinch.
Every kit also comes with two 3/8 to 1/4-20 step-downs giving each LNK all the versatility required for use on set.
Many anti-twist optionsTwisting quick releases have long been a problem of standard film industry connectors. However, the LNK comes with three native anti-twist solutions.
The 8-32 hole directly next to the 3/8 tapped hole of the LNK is for the included 8-32 set screws. This system is ideal for use with Noga arms where they can be tightened after threading the LNK onto the threaded noga to bind and lock the LNK into place.
The two small threaded holes flanking the large through-hole are for the included M1.6 screws. The small holes are set at ARRI anti-twist spacing and the 3mm heads of the screws acts as removable anti-twist pins.
The 3/8 threaded hole on the LNK is flanked by two female ARRI anti-twist holes for use with male anti-twist accessories. The SHD-AT SmallHD Anti-twist is sold separately.
The LNK Quick-Release Kit includes:
2x LNK identical halves
2x 3/8-16 low-profile camera screw
2x 1/4-20 low-profile camera screw
2x 3/8 to 1/4-20 adapter
