All ArcaSwiss-compatible plates will fit. But attention: The original Amazon plate is a little bit smaller, so compatible plates may seem too big because the clamp is adjusted too tight from the factory and the safety bolt disturbs, too. Adjust the clamp by the hidden screw in the turning knob and You can lay in in and fix every compatible plate You want.

Joby sells them on their site but are out of stock atm. http://joby.com/gorillapod/hybrid/#accessories I found the standard non-bubble head version at B&H Photo http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/506402-REG/Joby_GP1_11EN_Quick_Release_Plates.html

It doesn't have a quick release plate like a tripod head. It just has a screw that you use to screw directly into the tripod mount of your camera. On the other side it has a 1/4x20 mount that you could use to mount your own quick release plate.

No, if you want a quick release you'll have to get one. Be advised that a quick release will raise the height of the mounted camera. What I do is put the spare plate from my tripod on the bottom of the rig and attach the rig when I need to use sticks. It make more sense if your rig is loaded up with doo-dads.

It does have a release plate, but I would not put in the category as other quick release plates.

I'm using vanguard and velbon tripod. Both quick release fit this plate. So I believe manfrotto's quick release will fit.

Looks like this quick release plate will work with your tripod, it is a great value!

This pistol grip comes with the QS-60 quick release plate. As far as we can tell, that's the only plate currently compatible with this tripod attachment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

The 2 units that I bought and use both had hard stops. That said, the quick release plates were different on the 2 units and are not interchangeable, so there are variations in the production. Those variations may include the hard stops. I have used both very heavily and have no complaints, but proceed with caution.

I just tried my manfrotto quick release plate and it didn't fit. The Barska plate's ridges are just a bit smaller.

I am sorry, I do not know. I did put in tripod quick release plate on amazon a a bunch came up, not sure what would work though.

Yes, I had the previous model, loved it, and it was stolen. I bought the second model skeptical that it was the same product, but the way the handle on the pivot head was made is more durable. It's an improvement, don't worry. The quick release plates are still interchangeable. This one pivots from the bottom too, which is great for panning shots. You use your whole body.

It comes with the quick release plate. So essentially nothing... Other than the tripod, or whatever your screwing the head onto.

This should be what you are looking for... http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MH054M0-Q2-Magnesium-Quick-Release/dp/B004MKNJ6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393731145&sr=8-1&keywords=MANFROTTO+Q2

You can mount it directly on the plate, but I don't recommend that method. The free quick release plate will be good enough or you can use your own.

Manfrotto 323 RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter with 200PL-14 Quick Release...I would but a couple if these. I haven't found the plate alone but this ate will work with your all head and then you will have another quick release base to put on another tripod or monopod or stand. These quick release plates changed my life!!!

Yes the one I bought came with the quick release plate. Some may not come with it so just check before you buy.
