What the Teris TS-5 Does for Your TCE-CF Tripod
The Teris TS-5 Quick Release Plate is designed to speed up camera changes on a TCE-CF tripod. Instead of unscrewing the camera from the tripod head each time, you attach the plate once and then lock or release it with a simple lever action. This saves time on set and reduces wear on your camera's tripod socket.
The TS-5 is part of the Teris Tripod range and is available through Filmgear Canada in Vancouver. Before you buy, it is a good idea to confirm fit with your specific camera and tripod model. The Filmgear showroom team can help verify compatibility with your kit.
How to Install the TS-5 Plate on Your TCE-CF Tripod
These steps assume your TCE-CF tripod head has a standard 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20 mounting stud. The TS-5 plate should include the correct adapter or screw for your tripod. Check the supplied hardware before you start.
- 1. Prepare the tripod head: Remove any existing plate or quick-release system from the tripod. Clean the mounting surface so the plate sits flat.
- 2. Attach the TS-5 plate to the tripod: Align the plate's center hole with the tripod's mounting stud. Tighten the locking knob or screw by hand until the plate is snug. Do not overtighten.
- 3. Secure the camera to the plate: Slide the camera's base plate (or a compatible quick-release receiver) onto the TS-5's dovetail track. Push it forward until it clicks or locks into place.
- 4. Test the lock before use: Give the camera a gentle tug to confirm it is locked. The release lever should be in the closed position. Practice releasing and re-attaching a few times to get the feel.

What to Verify Before You Order
The TS-5 plate is built for the TCE-CF tripod, but not all tripod heads have the same stud size or thread pitch. Check the mounting screw on your tripod head and compare it with the plate's included hardware. Also, make sure your camera's base plate or quick-release receiver is compatible with the TS-5's dovetail track. If you use a different quick-release system, you may need an adapter.
When in doubt, contact the Filmgear Canada showroom with your tripod model and camera base plate details. They can confirm whether the TS-5 will work with your exact setup.
