Questions on quick release plate

[crazyhanz]

Hey guys.. sorry to bother.. However I have a question on the quick release plate. I have a Monfrotto trpiod but it's missing it's quick relase plate (the plate securing the camera to the tripod). I have been searching in the net to get a replacement for it but it seems thats its very expensive.

- Can I use any other brand instead?

- Where am I able to purchase it from?

- How much would it likely cost?


Thanks for helping out the new kid... :embrass:

You mean the RC2 quick release plate?

Not sure if there are other similar ones. Check with Cathay or other stores.

You might want to check with Eugene - the local Manfrotto supplier for CS, whether he carry
the release plate for your tripod.

He's done at the Marketplace > Mass Orders / Mass Sales section.

Nice guy to deal with.

Yeah, it's just the plate itself. I think mine is a 128RC model. So are there any cheaper alternatives? And thanks gys for the prompt and efficient replies..
