Is there an advantage to the Euro plate version ...
Is there an advantage to the Euro plate version vs the sidelock version? The Euro plate seems kind of small.
It is a matter of preference when choosing between a sideload or Euro-style plate.
With a sideload plate, you have the benefit of sliding the camera forward and back to balance your camera on the head.
With a Euro-style plate, the camera pops in and out with rapid speed and zero adjustments are to be made. There is a separate sliding plate underneath for balance.
Euro-style plates tend to cost more than their standard tripod plate counterparts, but add stability and quickness.

question
Does this system include the new SDS mid level spreader seen at NAB 2017?
The proper code is SDS12CXM, it is the same price. I am not sure if it is up in their store yet, but we can arrange for you to get it.
