Hi, are there any decent quick release adapters about that line up straight when used with alarms on buzzer bars, locked up tight with minimal effort and are nice enough to look at? I use the Prologic ones on my storm poles, but they only go together in 3 positions, 120 degrees apart and they're stupidly tall for alarms on buzzer bars. Are the ND/Bee ones any good, they look quite chunky?

The new ESP bars could be used as quick release, one grub screw and your alarm is off. I used it to swap between 2 and 3 rod bars.
Otherwise, I used to use the old Solar pozi-loc ones, that I think I still have three in the garage. Not sure I'd call them nice to look at but do the job. Yours for the cost of the postage if there of use to ya.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm ideally looking for 7 of something, so I can easily switch between my 4 rod and 3 rod setups, without having to buy 7 alarms.
The ESP bars could be an option I guess, as 4x 2 rod bars and 2x 3 rod bars has still got to be cheaper than two sets of alarms.

I've been really impressed with the ESP stuff too.
Metal bit screws onto alarm then grub screw to.lock into bars. Very clean

I just got the fox qr adapters for the stom poles on my titan. They seem pretty well made and are 15 quid for 2.
Defiant MPS quick release adapter, you leave the main part on your buzz bar and keep the brass insert on the alarm absolutely rock solid.
Keith also sells the brass inserts separately so can easily swap between set ups.£7.50 for the whole unit and £2.50 for spare brass inserts. Like all his gear will last a lifetime!

I use the old Solar Kit Off for the same reason as you. I have the male parts on my bank sticks and the female on my alarms. The male part has a flat edge so once aligned the alarm will always sit where you want it, facing front. They're getting harder to find now and some sellers are asking for silly money but you often get them popping up reasonably as completes and separate males are often cheap which is ideal. I haven't used the new version from Solar but it looks good. You can replace the thumbscrew with a grub screw if you want.
Naturally there are cheaper things out there.
You can see them on my uprights here
Under alarm here
I've chosen these as a example because they show the parts, ignore the price, often on FB Marketplace a lot cheaper

Lots of good suggestions to look at, thanks
Defiant MPS quick release adapter all day.
The only system I know of where you can align the buzzers yourself infinitely without having to fiddle around with O-Rings, screws etc. to finally align your buzzers only to find it tightened up too lightly or too tight (which can cause damage of course e.g. to the Neville cases).
Stainless steel so a bit weighty but bulletproof of course. As everything Keith does.
