I was looking for a good travel tripod that would integrate well with my other gear -- which is all arca-swiss compatible. Despite the listing stating that it was arca-swiss compatible, it wasn't really two-way. Technically, yes, the plate that comes with this tripod head will fit on other arca swiss heads. But the reverse is not true. The head will not accept other arca swiss plates. It is pretty much a proprietary head/plate that doesn't play nicely with others. The tripod itself seems decent, but the lack of compatibility was disappointing.
