Really Right Stuff TH-DVTL-40 Reviews

Gone cheap

By Lewis
Rated 3 out of 5

I used to purchase from RRS all the time. Not anymore. We have so many options with the same quality or better from other brands. The reason I gave 3 stars is because they are saving material on these TH-DVTL-55 and the -40. The same nomenclature from the old ones that had a round base all around with the dove tail under it. Now, they removed the round base made of one piece solid aluminum run on a CNC machine. Want to save money? create a different one with a different nomenclature make it cheap but keep the original for customers that care. RRS is not the way used to be. Their website are so confusing compared the way it was 15 year ago...

This little plate is really top notch quality, its little expensive but totally worth it I will definitely buy again when I’ll need one for a new head or gimbal

Will this work on a Jobu Design DMG-HD4 Heavy Duty Gimbal Head MK IV in conjunction with a RRS B2 KKR-II Lever Release Clamp 60mm on a Manfrotto 055XWNB Aluminum Wilderness Tripod?
Asked by: Uwe
There is no RRS product with that model description. Regarding the head, since the base of the Jobu Design DMG-HD4 exceeds 2" it would not work with that.

The description states "round" but the photo appears to be a rectangle. I plan to use this with RRS BH 55 and Wimberley WH 200 heads. Is this the correct dovetail plate? Does anyone know why the shape changed?
Asked by: Lizabeth
No. This will not fit the BH-55 ball head. This one is for the BH-40 ball head or any ball head with a base diameter not exceeding 2". You need the TH-DVTL-55 for the BH-55 ball head.

Is this dovetail plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss C1 cube?
Asked by: Christopher
Yes, this is compatible with the C1 Cube, but it might come with its safety-stop screws pre-installed, so those should be taken out preemptively to use on the C1. :)
