Great but not perfect

This is exactly what I needed. The only complaint I have about this is the handle for the clamp. It's a lever, not a knob like most of the Arca-Swiss clamps. If the camera or anything you have an Arca-Swiss bracket on is over the lever you can't tighten the clamp.

Leave it on the camera or tripod/monopod

Attaches the PMG quick disconnect strap, converts Arca to Manfrotto, KEEPS YOUR CAMERA STABLE WHEN PUT DOWN. Built like a train rail. Made in Amurca. What's not to love?

Works in Benro heads too

I got this for use in my Benro S4 monopod head and my Benro KH26NL tripod and it works quite well.
