Mounting is very ease. I chose the Manfrotto 410PL quick release plate RC4 with my Manfrotto 468MG ball head. The RC4 has a large foot print which provides a large lens with additional support and stability. To release, the release button must be pressed and held while the lever is moved to the unlocked position. This will indicate level regardless of whether the lens/camera is vertical or horizontal.I purchase five of the RC4 plates, one for each lens and camera. It also has locking, which prevents accidental releasing which could result in possible dropping the lens/camera.
Whet is snaps into place, the lever will automatically move to the lock position.The plate is shipped with 3/8" and ΒΌ" screw for your camera/lens mount. The RC4 and associated connect housing has a number of features that the RC0, RC2, RC3 and RC5 plates assemblies don't offer. After securing the plate to the lens/camera, insert the right side of the plate underneath the right bracket and slowly lower the left side until it snaps into place. The lens is secure. No accidental release. Two bubble levels are mounted into the RC4 base plate--one on the side and the other on the top.
Great plate well made worth the price and Manfrotto quality built in.
Having spare quick-release plates allows me to not have to worry about changing plates from camera bodies to telephoto lenses, etc. I can buy as many as I need and not have to change. Manfrotto/Bogen rocks.
Hell no. You bet.
Rushmore solid) tripod I have ever used. This tripod is (by far) the easiest, most solid (as in Mt.
Is it pricey. You know a tripod is good when you don't have to think about.
It allows you to focus instead on taking the photo. Do I regret my purchase.
Neither will you.
