Not a big fan of arca swiss - greatly prefer my solutions. I like the fact that when I put the Manfro mount in the Manfro clamp - it locks in the same position every time - then with the macro slide, can be adjusted on the fly with great range.
I use the Manfro hex plate because my monopod uses a 3063 fluid head and also a heavy duty ball head with that mount - and they work good with the macro slide - and it was all CHEAP !

Thanks. I've never quite understood why people don't like the hex plates. They may look clunky, but it feels like they would support a Russian tank...

Yes ! I agree, but they are cheap - with no snob appeal .....

I have friend, a musician who plays hammer dulcimer very well. On the recommendation of her instrument maker she uses a decent camera tripod instead of the regular musical instrument stands, and guess what, there's a hex plate on the underside of her instrument....
