I had found a little Manfrotto platelets dear for what it is and had command of platelets "compatible" basis. After several months of use, replacement plates are in the trash (screw that does not hold, clamping ring pulls, rubber pad to peel). So I returned to the original, which is a bit expensive it's true, but not a problem and when we fixed over a TV and a box has a few thousand, it's reassuring!
