I personally went with the round model for 2 reasons. The first one just being that I preferred the look. Secondly, I wanted the shorter tightening knob to minimize the risk of the knob hitting against something and breaking when walking around with the tripod attached to my camera bag (I can be rough with my gear sometimes). The round model offers both short and long knob, but the square model offered only the longer knob. I hope that helps and I would love to hear how you like it if you do end up getting either one.
@@patrickviau Thank You! Ordering the round oe today! Will keep you posted. Also am buying a Three Legged Thing in orange.....just think it looks cooler than black!
Patrick I have an inexpensive Slik Travel tripod looks similar to yours. Do you know if there would an adapter like yours in the video that would fit a Slik tripod. If not any suggestions on where I can look for one. I was the Arca system so I can use with an L-bracket on my canon 60d. Thanks Patrick
Hi Gary! I'm not sure how your tripod head is built so it's a bit hard to know if there is such an adapter. If your tripod head is removable, that could be an option but tripod heads can be just as expensive as changing the whole tripod. One thing you can do is get an Arca Swiss compatible quick release clamp that has the hole for a 1/4 or 3/8 screw under it (see links below) and screw the plate that came with your tripod under the new Arca Swiss clamp instead of under your camera. This way, you leave the native plate with the new clamp permanently on your tripod and can get yourself an Arca Swiss L brack which will fit in the new clamp. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions, you can send me a DM on my Instagram or Facebook pages.

Cool video Pat! Nice to see, that you're not just putting photography outings on your chanel, but also other topics. Thumbs up from me :)
Thanks Matt! As always, I appreciate the support!
Thank you Patrick!
I'm glad to hear you found this video useful! Make sure to subscribe, I have more videos on the way
Put a drop of Loctite on the bolt that secures the Arca Swiss clamp.
Although mine has never come loose, that’s still a great idea. Can never be too safe!
Quick question: I see that this plate is available also in a square...is there an advantage/disadvantage to this shape? Thanks!

@@rosalieb7909 love that L bracket! Never realized how much I needed it until I got it. I’m sure you won’t regret getting it
