This Tripod takes a 504PLONGR-1 Quick Release Plate.
An Arca swiss-style plate could be used with an adapter such as a Really Right Stuff B2-LLR-II Lever-Release Clamp (80mm) (SKU: RERELESECLMP) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1301154-REG/really_right_stuff_b2_llr_ii_quick_release_c_lever_release_style_quick_release_clamp.html

hi, can i use the plates from Sachtler?
hi, can i use the plates from Sachtler?
FWIW, the Sachtler FSB-6 tilt-in model will accommodate Manfrotto 501 plates. So if the Manfrotto 504X can accomodate the 501 plates, I would expect it could accommodate the plate that comes with the Sachtler FSB-6 tilt-in model.

Where would the fluid be in this video head? I don't see much mass for the fluid...
Thanks for the reply. I'm just concerned that with so little "body mass" to this fluid head compared to convention fluid heads, there hardly seems room for any fluid. Reviews will tell soon enough...

How much weight in Kgs could the 504X can carry?
How much weight in Kgs could the 504X can carry?
I just watched the video which states the counter balance only works up to 14.33 lb. So, don't conclude that the 26.5 lb. payload will work with the counter balance.
