Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Rapid Connect Mounting Plate (1/4"-20) for 394, 3270, 3275, 410 and 3436RC4 (Spare) (#3271):
With this heavy duty system it's just too much to move the mounting plate from lens to lens. Now that I have it I can't imagine not having it!

I'm putting one of these on each of my cameras! So much better than having to attach the mounting screw each time for each camera.

I use this on my 2nd body for connection to a Manfrotto 488RC4 Midi Ball Head.

The RC2 and RC4 quick releases do offer different features. I like the RC4 version a bit better as I feel it grab and holds onto whatever you mount on it better. I can also disengage it more quickly than the RC2. Put one on every body and every long zoom lens and won't be sorry. It does add a bit of weight, but its worth it - in my opinion.

I use this for just about everything I need that can use a mount. I've had several of these mounting plates for a while. They are solid, won't rotate, and definately won't slip apart. The locking feature is positive and works. I did have couple of the RC2 and RC0 plates for other things, I gave those away. If you have expensive gear, get something that works and won't let you down. This plate system is it.

The salesman that I ordered the Bogen tripod adaptor suggested an extra mounting connector, I acepted - ordered two more connectors. Instant placement of camera on tripod. VERY stable and strong. If you have a Bogen tripod adaptor and have lens that have a mounting foot - buy the extre connectors!

I definitely like the tripod head itself, as it performs like a much more compact version of the 229, so it's strong, with independently adjustable axes, great for large format field work. The tripod plate however, is kind of unnecessarily large, as well as a little awkward to mount to the head. I really have to double check that it's on properly to feel comfortable with this QR plate. I think Manfrotto has, since I bought mine, come out with better, smaller tripod heads that use better, smaller plates. I'll keep this head, but if I lose or break it, I'll go a different direction.
