[QUOTE="BruceH, post: 3337860, member: 106398"] Frank .... Just to make sure I understand, even when you install your Manfrotto plate in your carbon fiber tripod as shown in picture number 1 (labeled Tight Fit), the plate still slides back and forward. Is that correct? If that is the case, do you have any ideas what is different between your setup and mine? As I mentioned, mine does not slide at all when installed as shown in photo number 1. Herny and Steve ... You're welcome. FOLLOW-UP COMMENT After posting the above, I spent some more time experimenting with the Manfrotto plate and then I noticed it was sliding back and forward. I noticed the lever puts more tension on the plate if it is not pushed those last few degrees to the closed position. I suspect in my earlier test, the lever still had several degrees to go compared to the follow-up testing when the lever was pushed all the way in. [/QUOTE]
