It was a chrome M base-plate w/basket. On the outside there was the = tripod bushing and the base-plate lock just like in an ordinary M = base-plate -- BUT towards the middle of it there was a rectangle about = 5H * 10W * 15L mm. In its center there was a small slot the size and = shape of a small fingernail. What on earth is this thing for?
