I still use an R-Strap RS-4 (with my Nikon D300 incl. MB-D10) and found it a bit annoying, my tripod plate constantly on and unscrew. By FastenR-T1 which is now no longer necessary since the board can remain on the battery grip. The installation is very simple: a small screwdriver is enough to solve the C-clip at the original screw the Manfrotto 200PL-14 and so be replaced with the T1. Takes about 20 seconds.
Now I can take the camera quickly from the strap and place directly on's tripod without tinkering. And since my monopod also the 200PL-14 uses works well here.
For users of Manfrotto 200PL-14 and an R-Strap therefore from me a crystal clear buy recommendation. (And me the price was known beforehand and that it was in the end only to a screw is also no penalty ;-)
