I got this BCD but I can't understand how the weight pocket work, either is not compatible with Quick release or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help

So I can perform the emergency release is there any video that I can see that show how to handle emergency weight release with this type of BCD?

That BCD has no way to carry weights and release them quickly. If you want to release your weights, you will need to use a weight belt.

Remember, those are NOT weight pockets - if you were to put weights in there, you'd have no way of quickly dumping them if necessary. Your weights will be completely separate from the BCD, on a belt, and the "quick release" would be ditching the belt.
 
From what I can see, that's just a pocket on the BCD, not a weight pocket. It's for things like a backup mask, dsmb etc but not weights. You will need to wear a weight belt separately.
