Look at the Horseman quick release. I use one for my view cameras and have no trouble with its stability. The camera plate is about 3.75 inches long by about 2.75 inches wide. It slides into the tripod mounted receiver over spring loaded buttons so that the camera cannot slide out. Then there is a lever that you move that pushes a large circular plate in the receiver "up" which locks the camera plate solidly into position. You screw the camera plates on by hand as they have a large knob in the under side for this purpose.
