DAVID P : Is the Sirui BCH-30 video head compatible with common/affordable Manfrotto 501 style quick release plates, or does it use a proprietary quick release plate? I have many pieces of gear that interface with Manfrotto 501 plates, so I hope they will fit this video head.ANDREW R : Uses the Sirui BP-150L plate. The BP-150L does NOT appear to be interchangeable with the Manfrotto 501 style plates.
