I'd like to piggy-back on this thread with two questions:
1. Doug and Stan gave praises for Kirk plates. So, what makes them different (and good)? 2. I like the idea of the universal (arca-swiss + RC2) clamp plate that Larry has referenced: https://peakdesignltd.com/plates/ I wonder if there are any drawbacks because of this functionality 3. I also wonder if there are such universal plates that are compatible with arca-swiss and RC5 at the same time. The latter question is probably aimed at Cotty, - as he has (had) a head that takes RC5, - Manfrotto 3433: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/Tripod/_IR27447.jpg (It used to be used with #3433PL plates, which are now replaced with 501PL, and the new heads are 501, 503 and NG). This type of heads/QR plates are typically used for video-cameras.
