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.
Asked by: Mattymatt
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.
