Novoflex Q=Base and RRS plates

Did anybody try RRS plates onto the new Novoflex Q=Base?

- Would the stop pin at the end of the RRS plates work?

- Or would it rather be in the way? The clamp of the Novoflex

system seems to be in the inner 1/2 of the full plate surface.

 

I am purchasing a Mini Magic Ball (when climbing every gram counts)

and attaching the RRS quick release sistem with no twist onto it will

require me some (permanent) drilling/gluing/bricolage that I'd rather

not do.

 

The solution seems to be the `native` Novoflex Q=Base to go

on the Mini Magic Ball and the RRS superb products for the

cameras/lenses. Novoflex tells me the Mini Magic Ball and Novoflex

Q=Base has some native anti-twist pin.

 

BTW did anyone try this combo out?

 

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I was intrigued and went to novoflex.de. There are Novoflex Q-plates of differing dimensions, even an L bracket to go with the Q-base. maybe one should stay within one system ... RRS etc is wonderful, these look a little bit lighter and cost less. Best to see first hand, though, as always ...
