For most other QR systems the part that stays attached to (or is an integral part of) the head is usually called a receiver. | |

Inserting the plate pushes the button down, letting the latch spring closed, securing the camera, without you needing a hand free to open the latch. Usually, the button is metal and big enough to see when in the closed position. | |
