Q: 7. Is the quick release system detachable? I have manfrotto plates and I'd like to know if i can attach my own system to the ball. Thanks!

A: Yes, the plate is removable on mine. There is an recessed Allen head screw in the mount plate. But if you want to use another companies proprietary plate I'd suggest you just buy a whole head from them. The mount plate for that would have to bolt on the same way. Personally I like the universal aspect of the Acra-Swiss system. I've converted all my tripods and mono-pods to that. 1 plate to rule them all!

Q: 8. I currently have an Oben AC-1420 tripod which came with an Oben BA-1 ball head and two RP-20 quick release plates. I mount a Canon 5D Mark II on this rig, but the plate allows the camera to twist. I am considering an anti-twist plate made by Kirk: B&H# KIPZ128, but Oben tells me that the BA-1 will not work with any plate requiring an Acra-Swiss technology, which this one does.MY questions to you are (1) If I buy the BE-117 ball head plus the Kirk Anti-twist plate above, will everything work together on my existing Oben tripod with no further adaptations? With my camera? Will the quick release function be compromised in any way by the Kirk anti-twist plate?Is there a cheaper way to do this? I set out for buy a simple anti-twist plate and suddenly seem to be knee-deep in more new equipment.Thanks.

A: The Oben BE-117 ballhead is designed to accept the Arca-Swiss style plates and accessories. It is compatible with the Kirk plate, B&H # KIPZ128 and your camera. It will not compromise the fit to the head or of that of the camera. This set up is of the least expensive methods to get the tripod outfitted with an Arca-Swiss type head and anti-twist plate.

Q: 10. What is the max tilt angle of the neck on the ball before it moves into the notch to do portrait shots?

A: I would guess maybe 45, probably less. I use this for interiors and landscapes with an L bracket, so I never tilt very far either way.
