Comments about Manfrotto 504PLONG Long Quick-Release Mounting Plate:
This is the exact same plate that the 504HD head comes with.
I needed a second plate and looked all over and thought I had to buy a "long" version of the plate as my only choice, but I guess the head comes with the long version to begin with.
This plate works great and I haven't had any troubles with it. I'm using it to mount a Kessler Crane Pocket Dolly and it works perfectly.

Comments about Manfrotto 504PLONG Long Quick-Release Mounting Plate:
Works pretty well. Range is good for balance. The only issue is that the rubber pads that grip to my camera have started to peel up from the plate after only week of shooting.

Comments about Manfrotto 504PLONG Long Quick-Release Mounting Plate:
This plate mates ONLY with the 504HD Fluid Video Head (about $370) and not with other Manfroto long-lens-capable heads. I misunderstood the description of it as a "standard" QR plate for use with various video-capable Manfroto heads. What does "standard" mean if this thing is only used with a single video head? My mistake; but the description was misleading. Apparently, it is a wonderful performer for video professionals who invest $450 in their quick release systems and figure it a bargain.
