I'll use it with my M6, F3, and occasionally my old EL2. I have looked at the Really Right Stuff brochure for their mounting plates, which look nice. My question concerns the use of mounting plates all together compared with just using the regular threaded mount. Won't the mounting plate, be in your way when shooting hands-free? I'll probably use the tripod for only 10-20% of my pictures. How about just resting the camera on a table for a second or two, will it stand on the plate or wobble and tip over? Your experienced advice is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, __ Tore P.S.: Any recommendations of where in NYC to buy the head? __ Tore
