Q: 1. Is this plate compatible with the Manfrotto 504PLONG? I have a Manfrotto MVH502AH video head and would like to be sure I can use it on that head. Thank you

A: Yes and no. the RS2 (and by extension this Really Right stuff substitute) is compatible with with Manfrotto tripod heads but it is more difficult to use than normal Manfrotto plates. It mounts from front to back instead of back to front. The fact that it mounts in the opposite direction makes it awkward to get the quick release plate on and off your tripod. the safety mechanism can get caught leaving your camera stuck on the tripod and requiring force to remove it. Yes the plate will mount on your tripod but it will be more difficult to get it on and off your tripod than a normal manfrotto quick release plate.
