I own and use 141RC, 460Mg and 308RC heads that all share that plate, I used to use them all most comfortably with the long edge of the QR plate aligned with the camera. I currently use a semi-permanent QR L plate fixture on my camera body which I can't rotate, I had looked at this device in the past and I think that it's a great idea but I still find their choice of QR plate orientation strange. Interestingly of the six plates I own three show only one lens direction arrow (pointing towards the long edge of the plate), however the latest two show two lens direction arrows (perpendicular to each other), so I guess it's a relatively new thing.
