Quick release long plate Gitzo quick release plates come in three different profiles (A B and C) Each profile is offered in different lengths (short or square medium and long) and with different features (graduated anti rotation pin) and attachments (1/4 - 3/8) In the new collection Gitzo unified some 1/4 and 3/8 attachment plates into a unique new code that includes 2 screws for both 1/4 and 3/8 sizes Having two screws available for each attachment size is ideal above all for long plates when heavy equipment or long lenses are used As a general rule it is preferable to always use the bigger possible attachment In any case even when the smaller screw needs to be used it always guarantees a high safety standard In fact all Gitzo bolts and screws are made of high quality steel
