RRs groupbuy, if anyone's interested in splitting postage?

[Kyle]

Hi all

Just ordered a C297 tripod from poon, and a KS2 ballhead (really hoping he's able to make it a kb2, but anyway)

I want to get the RRS plate for my d70, but have heard somewhere that it may not be 100% compatible.

Is this the case, and what can I do to make it work? apart from changing the QR plate.


Thanks all

As far as I know the AS plates on the Benro equipment fits the RRS perfectly.

the RRS fits AFTER you remove the anti slip pin from the benro head (requires a screwdriver )

[Kyle]

Hmm, the rrs clamps arent that much more expensive on top of the plate.

I'll remove the pin for now, and next pay ill buy an rrs clamp

Should have just bit the bullet and bought the BH55

Also, if someone wants to sell me a RRS d70 plate i'd be most gracious

I'm in a similar position, except I'd like a Canon 30D L plate. Want to split postage?

[Kyle]

Sounds like that might be a sweet idea

[moz]

I'm thinking Poon should find someone who makes a cheap clone of these things and start selling them. Or even an expensive clone

But anyway, PM me when you're ready to go and we'll sort something out. I'd be happy to do the order if I can get half the cost up front and the rest when you get your L plate.

[Kyle]

Lets do it, are you ready to order?

Switched to PM'ing... anyone else who wants to split that $US50 postage had better get in quick Order will probably go in tomorrow (Friday).

Just for the editfication of the spectators, I ordered on Friday (ish), they billed my card on Monday and I got the brackets today (Tuesday). I'm happy. Poor, but happy
