Is the QR plate ARCA compatible and what are the dimensions? (Can't find the data on Manfrotto site)

No idea what the ARCA plate is? This unit takes the standard Manfrotto plate. Comes with one, if I remember.

All the Manfrotto tripods I've used have a standard ⅜" screw thread that is compatible with all their own tripod heads along with the Arca Swiss Z1. I'd be very surprised if they made the 290 series of tripods incompatible with their own tripod heads. You shouldn't have any problem.

It will fit on a Manfrotto tripod/monopod of course, but the base plate is ARCA and therefore Manfrotto plates will not fit in this unit. The jaws screw clamp onto the plate, unlike the Manfrotto which snaps into position.

Yes. Be sure, though, to research the difference between the ARCA plate and the DUAL plate for your needs if you want to use a tripod.

This clamp is made to the Arca-Swiss standard, so as long as your plate is made to the same standard, it should work just fine. I bought this as a cheap option for a seldom-used monopod, and it's worked with my Really Right Stuff gear with no problems.

The Desmond is a standard Arca Swiss compatible mount (and very high quality). Giottos makes several different QR plates in various sizes. If your Giottos QR says it is Arca Swiss compatible it will work fine. Hope this helps, -Bret

I bought the Foto4easy QB-4W Quick Release QR Plate for SONY VCT-D580RM/ VCT-D680RM/ VCT-R640/ Velbon CX-888/CX-444/CX-460 and it worked with this tripod. It was a tight fit out of the box, but a file solved that issue and it fits perfectly. the above part is slightly larger than the original (44.3mm x 44.3mm x 9.5mm vs 43.5mm x 43.5mm x 9mm)

You need an arca-swiss mount on the tripod, Manfrotto does not work with this bracket. So yes you do need to be able to dovetail the bracket into an arca-swiss type adapter.

Will not work with the Bogen style QR plate. Arca-Swiss is the way to go....

It should work fine but you probably need a longer quick release plate. The one I purchased is the "Desmond 5.5-Inch 140mm 140 QR Lens Plate Quick Release Arca Swiss Compatible PC-140 DPC140" and I use it to mount small telescopes with no problem. The one issue you need to be careful with is the thumb screw for securing the plates to the mount; they have a tendency to slip a little. There are set screws to keep the plate attached to the mount so it should keep your lenses from falling off but just be careful with heavy lenses.

Hello, yes, that is correct. Manfrotto offers many heads with more than one QR plate option, and the only difference is the QR base and plate. Thanks.

Generally they seem almost identical (except for some marking on the bottom) to the QR plate that came with my Manfrotto 804CR2. The bolt protrudes roughly 6mm on both the stock version and this. (this is fine for my Sony A55). I'm not quite clear on which tripod/head you have. If you have a Manfrotto 390RC2, than I'm pretty sure it will fit, I _think_ the RC2 is referring to the plate system.

Don't know. What I do know is that ALL of the various Manfrotto/Bogen quick release plates fit ONLY ONE holder. They seem designed to absolutely not fit anything else.

No. It is Arca-Swiss compatible. You will need an Arca-Swiss plate on the bottom of your camera. It can be attached to any any tripod including a Mafrotto but it cannot accept the Mafrotto quick release plate.

I'm not sure but if you look at the plate you might see a part number. Otherwise reference here. http://www.tripodquickrelease.com/Manfrotto_Quick_Releases.htm
