It's great because you can easily remove it from the tripod with the push of a buttom and start taking hand held shots. Its also small. can't use the tripod without it, so you can't loose it.

Comments about Manfrotto 785PL Quick Release Plate for Modo 785B & SHB Pistol Grip Heads:
As an independent filmmaker, I often switch between my still camera, and field video camera. This allows me to change formats as quickly as possible, it is a graet add-on for this light tripod.

I had lost this part of my tripod, and wasn't sure I'd be able to keep it. I hate to throw things away that are in good condition, so I was thrilled to find the very part that I need to keep using my tripod. It was the best price of all the ones I researched, too.

This tripod was recommended by a fellow member in my nature photo group. I took it out of the box and used it right away to take some portrait shots. It was easy to set up and use right away. I am very happy with it so far.
