Attaching cameras to various mounts and accessories is about to get a whole lot easier.
Czech Republic-based photography company Edelkrone showed off the QuickRelease One, an attachment that simplifies the process of moving your camera from one accessory — or mount — to the next.
The key to the QuickRelease One’s design is its use of the standard 1/4-inch, 20-tripod screw, a design choice Edelkrone refers to as “seeing the standard in chaos.” Rather than coming up with yet another proprietary mounting system, the QuickRelease One simply improves upon the standard tripod mount through the use of a locking mechanism that uses three rotating screws and a set of internal gears to expedite the threading process.
As seen in the demo video above, the QuickRelease One is attached to the bottom of your camera system using the tripod mount.
When you want to attach it to a different accessory or mount, a simple half-twist of the device locks it into place, ensuring your gear doesn’t take any unwanted tumbles. Gone are the days of having to hold your camera while you twist the mounting plate onto the bottom.
Edelkrone claims the QuickRelease One system is capable of holding up to 6.6 pounds of camera gear, which should be more than enough for any mirrorless setup and most DSLR setups unless you have a large telephoto attached.
The patent-pending design seems like an obvious one. But it’s a solution no other photography accessory manufacturer has thought of yet. Admittedly, it would be neat to see Edelkrone open-source the design and concept so other manufacturers could hop on board, but we can’t fault them for wanting to capitalize on its brilliant engineering.
The QuickRelease One can be purchased through Edelkrone’s online store for approximately $95.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
