darcy_cheung Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 <p>Hi,<br> Recently, I purchase a Arca quick release plate from Camdapter, I thought my ballhead can fit it, unfortunately, I found that my release clamp is wider than the plate, so I'm considering to purchase another ballhead, I don't know any brand of ballhead can fit this or with the Arca standard. if any one has the Arca plate and use some other brand ballhead. Otherwise I need to buy a Acratech which I like it though. But if I can save a few buck would be great. Any recommandation will be welcome.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_werner Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 <p>Darcy,</p> <p>I'm not sure what's out there that's going to save money. Arca-Swiss, AcraTech, Kirk, Really Right Stuff, and I think Markins all sell heads around the Arca-Swiss plate standard, but they're all around the same price points. I use a Really Right Stuff BH-40 and like it a lot, and I don't think you'll find any unhappy campers with any of those brands. Hope that helps a little.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acbeddoe Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 <p>You may just be able to replace the clamp on the ball head with a compatible one. What ball head are you using?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy_cheung Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 <p>Thank you for the advise, I found a clamp to fit to my Linhof ball head which I didn't purchase it originally. That's from my relatives. Anyway, Thanks for the input.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyr_smith Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>Personaly, I think Really Right Stuff (all of it) is over priced and of poor quality. I would never buy it again and suggest you don't either. Hey, just my opinion.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to specify the problems you've had that leads you to such a wide reaching generalization?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
