I just wish it lasts more than the original one. There is not much to go wrong with this item.
all the Bogen stuffs are perfect for what they are designed to do.i have used their things for 20-odd years without any failures.
I keep the plate that came with the tripod on my Digital SLR camera and I keep the extra one I bought on my camcorder. It's exactly what is advertised and works perfectly with my Manfrotto 725B Digi Tripod with Integrated Ball Head with Dove Tail Plate and Carrying Bag (Black).
and worth the money.I'd recommend it. I'm fairly new to videography, and I really resent so many of the ridiculously overpriced accessories one needs to buy. This quick release plate is not too overpriced, solidily made.
If you look really closely, there's an arrow on the plate to help you, but I suspect a lot of people don't notice it. Now it's much easier to orient the plate and fit it in right. The one that came with my tripod head ended up permanently attached to my long lens, since said lens is really too heavy to use without a tripod or monopod. I finally took some nail polish and painted a little dot on the edge of the plate and on the edge of tripod head while they were connected correctly. I just line up the dots. I bought a couple of extra plates to use with other cameras/lenses.I agree with the person who said this plate can be hard to line up correctly. I'm a mechanical engineer, and usually pretty good with spatial relationships, but sometimes it takes me awhile to get the thing on.
