I have the Arca-Swiss plates on my Nikon, Hasselblad, and 4X5 cameras. It is a snug fit and I appreciate the quality of the product.

Light weight but wrong fit

The information sheet that came with Monoball P0 lists this plate for Canon 1D series and Nikon D3 series. I don't know how it fits on Canon 1D series but it's definitely not a right fit for Nikon D3. The rounded edge doesn't match that of the D3 body. So, no matter how hard I tightened the plate to the body, it still caused movements when the camera with a 24-70mm was attached to the P0 ball head. So, I decided to stick with my Kirk plate which fits firmly and pass on the Slidefix system for now.

question

Does the curved end face the back or front(lens end) of the camera specifically the Nikon D 800? You recommended this plate to me for the arca swiss po (and D 800)which I also purchased from you. Can you confirm that this is the correct plate for the D 800 and the direction the curved end should face on the camera? [email protected]

Yes, this plate is correct for the Nikon D800. The curved end should face the front of the camera.
