Very useful for turning a screw attachment (or "non-Manfrotto") accessory for rapid implementation. Rapid trays associated with this model are widespread on the Manfrotto range. I have 2 boxes EOS, 1 tripod, monopod 1, and a TV with large collar. Result, this little world now has the same model plate / adapter, fixed permanently, and I can switch without any problem and "click". It is VERY strong and very practical. The Manfrotto 323 has been installed on a panoramic head "Nodal Ninja 3 MKII," but it is very limited for two reasons: the weight and bulk. Indeed, this adapter is about 2cm thick, making it necessary to back the first arm of the NN3 to compensate, which requires a limit with EOS 450D, and can be problematic for other housings. Practical detail, NN3 can not be stored in his little briefcase ... Weight side, it plays on the stability of the whole, because by definition and construction, is a panoramic head while cantilever, so the extra weight plays a lot. When hunting grams carbon blow, aluminum or magnesium, it's a shame to lose it again a part of the profit with a tray of such weight as cut, attorneys in the mass ... However, this is the guarantee of solidity with all tests!
