            Comments about Acratech Quick Release Plate for Canon 40D:

            If you are looking for a plate for your 40d or 50d, and don't want a generic plate that has the tendency to let your camera swivel, this is a great choice. This acratech plate becomes one with the camera, without adding much weight. Highly recommend.

                Comments about Acratech Quick Release Plate for Canon 40D:

                Very nice quick release plate. Attaches firmly to my Canon 50D, no play and no sign of loosening even in "difficult" positions with semi-heavy lenses. Not sure I'm so happy about the matte finish, though, it sort of goes against the semi-matte camera body, but of course that is a very minor detail. A bit expensive for what it is.

                But in the end: Higly recommended.

                  Comments about Acratech Quick Release Plate for Canon 40D:

                  This plate works with both my Acratech V2 Ballhead and my Really Right Stuff ballhead. Well made, solid, fits the 40D like a glove.

                  The only thing missing that the RRS plate has is a threaded hole in the bottom so a camera with plate attached can be screwed into a monopod or a tabletop tripod without taking the plate off.

                  Several companies make fine plates. I'm very pleased with the Acratech ones. Custom for the 40D and well-made. It's easy to buy directly from Acratech, but very convenient that B&H stocks these.

                    I have the plate mounted onto my vertical grip on my EOS 40D. Since it is not very thick I can still hold the grip very securley in my hand.
                    My Arca Swiss Ballhead holds this plate good and fast.
