Re: What tripod do you use and aren't many identical?

The ball head and clamp/plate chosen can be very different. Manfrotto and Arca Swiss are clearly different. What I did not realize what the Arca-type designation used by Sirui does not mean Arca Swiss compatible. The Sirui clamps and plates are proprietary. They have their own safety system and lack the safety screws on the plates and the slots for the safety screws on the clamp. I returned a Sirui L-20 tilt head after trying many solutions to get it work. It would not fit on the vertical plate of my L bracket.
