Adapted on a Manfrotto tripod ball head with integrated, the use takes on another dimension. The quick release plate can be screwed horizontally or vertically on the bottom. Getting up very easily via a clip on the adapter, and a small lever serves as second security. The design is impeccable. There is almost identical models much less expensive (few Euros) but I recommend investing in the model of Manfrotto, to ensure your safety and confidence equipment.
