A useful helpers

Two (or three) cameras and only a tripod? Sooner or later, you will then be in the truest sense of the word in (dark) Forest and indeed has camera and tripod there, but the removable disk is stupidly still on the camera, which is now home ;-)

After this happened to me twice, I've taken care of this situation and get me a second quick release plate.

In use is with me the tripod 'Manfrotto 785B' and I once had to search until I had found the right plate for my tripod.

According to the description, the release plate fits the following Manfrotto models: MA 785B - MA 785SHB - MA 715B - MA 715SHB - MA 718B - MA 718SHB - MA 725B - 728B MA. Whether it is appropriate for all listed models wirlich of course I can not assure binding. At least with my 785B fit.

And now the dark forest may ;-)
