I agree with Bryan/TDP - this removes my biggest issue with recommending Manfrotto gear.  Personally, though, I'm sticking with RRS...
Yeah, and I'm sure you got a lot of people hooked up with RRS already. Good for the economy, bad for wallets. I have spent the last 35 minutes or so on their website ...  ;D trying to resist the urge to start with something small like a body plate or L-Plate

The L-plate for your camera is one of the new modular designs that converts from body plate to L-plate.  Mine is like that, and it's a great solution!

Just sayin'...   ;)

That's not true any more  ::) . Well, it still is but won't be much longer. I'll need this which is not modular

To make things more fun, manfrotto now also makes AS style plates/clamps.

LOL, my purchasing of RRS was largely based on comments that neuroanatomist had made over the past few months, regarding tripods/heads etc. And I'm very happy with the gear that I did buy. The L plate (on my 5D3 with grip) has made my tripod work so much more flexible.

Although its good that Manfrotto have headed down that path, I'll stick with RRS.
