I am interested in the Stroboframe adaptor because the adaptors I've been
using, made by Bilora, aren't made any more apparently and I need something
I can get more of. It sounds as if maybe the Stroboframe adapter covers the
M baseplate so much that it has to be removed before taking the baseplate
off the camera? Is this right? I find that using the GMP M-Grip means that
I can still access the baseplate lock on the camera base and take the who
lot off at once- baseplate, M-Grip and QR adaptor.
