Does this work well with the Manfrotto RC2 Mounting Plate? Or will it come loose like what some of the reviewers have mentioned?

I have it on 3 D300, 1 D300S, and 2 D7100 bodies. It came off one of the D300 bodied with an 18-200 on it. I hate to over tighten these or tripod screws, so I check them often. The person who did have it come loose, said they had not checked it, inspite of my warning. Hope that answers your question.

Works great. Absolutely no problems for me. Mine has never been loose. But prudence suggests periodically checking that it is tight.

Followed the directions that came with this fastener for changing out the fastener on the QRC with this one, and it has worked perfectly fine for me ever since. No problems.

This works very well for me. I have 2 of them. I keep one screwed into my camera body and into the Tripod ring on my 100-400. This way I never have to remove them. I have been using them for about 2 years now and have never had them come loose. The biggest key is to get the lock washer in place correctly. It is a really tight fit. I had to use a needle nose pliers to do it. Hope this helps.

I use it on a no name tripod mounting plate and it works fine. It comes with a couple washers to help with that.

I don't have a Manfrotto but I have two and the Mrs has two, all on different mounts, it is easy to modify the mount if needed. They also sell a specific mount with it installed. All mine are Vice type mounts

I've had mine for about a year and the only time it's come loose is when I unscrew it.

Has worked well for me, haven't noticed anything indicating it will come loose.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question however, this product was missing from my tripod. It slips on the tripod itself. The screw sticking up allows you to mount a camera, etc. to the tripod. For example, I used this on my tripod and then mount a "hog saddle" so I can use the tripod as a rifle mount.

It worked fine on my Manfrotto Tripod and the screw-on fitting should be the same size (quarter inch?)

No, the plate on this head is bigger than the Manfrotto plate and the Manfrotto plate will not lock in tightly.

Oh yeah it will hold. Just clean the surface and make sure there is a good contact patch. The gopro arm attachment will break before this mount comes loose.

Depends on your mounting plate. Manfrotto has 1/4" and 3/8" screws on their plates that should fit..but the way this item is set up, mounting a plate directly to the top of bottom won't really work because the rails would be in the way.

I don't think it will. The FR-T1 was meant to be used with Manfrotto RC2 Quick Release system. This is an Arca-Swiss system. There are workarounds, however. The ball head is replaceable, so if you already have a tripod head that works with those plates you can easily replace it.

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.

This will not work with all quick release tripods. I had bought a tripod from best buy(Sunpak - PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG 61" Tripod) and it didn't fit in the quick release So I bought a new head for it (http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-C2-AE-Universal-Quick-Release-Plate/dp/B00HLVZL78/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) and it works perfect!

This is one area I found Black Rapid lacking in. I even emailed them before I purchased the product. The answer seems to be the only plate they say it works with is the a specific Manfrotto.The screw head is cheap enough you can always send it back if your quick release plate is not deep enough.

Hey there. First you should know I wound up returning my Jib. The head locked and I wasn't able to use it anymore. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues with it being hard to pan or tilt? To answer your question.The release plate for the Manfrotto 501 is DIFFERENT from the one on the jib arm.

Sure. I use a Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release on mine. Works like a charm. Still cannot believe the great price on such quality.

Although I can't give a definitive 'no' as and answer, I'd say that it'd be extremelly difficult to find a quick release plate with the same dimensions as the one included here. I have other quick release plates (mostly Manfrotto) and unfortunately they don't fit on the Amazon Lightweight tripod.

The baseplate is removable. I swapped it out for my manfrotto quick release plate. I did replace the machine screw through the baseplate with a longer one ( and Phillips head as the hex head was not deep and looked like it could strip if tightened down) as the diameter in the grip is smaller than what was on the manfrotto. Feels very solid and I have confidence that it is also secure. Works very well.

no ... does not fit all tripods ... you need to xref on manfrotto site to get match

I believe is the mounting plate. The one I bought had a manfrotto compatible plate. The other is another type of Mount. It doesn't matter which one you get unless you have a tripod and want to make it compatible with your equipment. Fyi, When I bought it, it was 80$.

You attach the bottom part to your glidecam and the sliding plate to your t2i and away you go...after the fun part balancing it all, of course. When I use this with a slider, I have the base on the tripod, the sliding plate on the bottom of the slider, the pan head on the slider, another one of these on the top of the pan head with the sliding plate on the bottom of the camera. That's where getting an extra sliding plate comes in handy. Then you can go from slider to glidecam quickly without having to screw around with mounting anything, only sliding your camera with the Manfrotto plate onto whatever you want to use in the moment.
