If, I invest in a QR system, it'd prolly be one of the Arca-Swiss varietys. I've seen the qr plates by Really Right Stuff models for the pz1p that are machined specifically for the bottom plate of that camera, matching it's curves. They also manufacture plates for most of the Pentax Big Glass that's on my wish list. I was not aware that Bogen had more than one type of QR system. I am only familiar with thos g**awful hexagon thingamajigs, that add quite a bit of weight to the camera. And (without mods) does nothing to keep the camera from twisting when at odd angles.
