Q: 2. I have a Nikon 200mm f4 Micro Lens... will a P20 Quick Release Plate by Wimberley work with my Wimberley Gimbal Version ll?Does the P10 Quick Release Plate by Wimberley use two screws for attachment to my Nikon 200mm f4 Micro Lens?

A: According to Wimberley's plate compatibility chart, the P10 would be the ideal plate for your Nikon 200mm f/4.Micro. Both the P10 and P20 will work with the Wimberley Gimbal Version ll, and will include safety stop screws to prevent loosening of the plate. These will be separate from teh 1/4-20 screw that is also included with each model.

Q: 3. Will this Arca-type quick release plate (Whimberley P-20) or any Arca-type release work on a standard Manfrotto tripod head?

A: No, Manfrotto, has a proprietary mount.

Q: 4. Is it compatible with RRS clamps ?

A: Yes it should be except for the RRS lever-release clamp. RRS are Arca-Swiss compatible so the Wimberley P-20 should work just fine.I copied this from the RRS website if you want more info:There are a number of mail-order companies that sell gear based on the Arca-Swiss quick-release standard. In addition to Really Right Stuff, companies such as Wimberley, Markins, AcraTech, Foba, Novoflex, and Kirk sell gear that is commonly marketed as Arca-Swiss style or Arca-type or Arca-Swiss compatible. In general, most of this gear is cross-compatible (but many Novoflex plates do not fit our screw-knob style clamps). For example, a Really Right Stuff L-plate will work just fine with the quick-release clamp on your Markins ballhead. And your Wimberley lens plates will work great with any Really Right Stuff clamp and ballhead. An exception to this is our lever-release clamp; read more about our lever-release clamp compatiblity here. Really Right Stuff plates do not work with any Manfrotto, Bogen, or Gitzo quick-release clamps. Those companies have their own proprietary quick-release systems. They are not Arca-Swiss compatible. Only Manfrotto plates work with Manfrotto clamps. Only Bogen plates work with Bogen clamps. Only Gitzo plates work with Gitzo clamps.

Q: 6. Does this plate have just one screw or two?

A: The P20 plate (3.68 inches long) is packaged with two (2) 1/4 inch button head mounting screws (of which 1 is needed to connect the plate to the tripod collar foot. It also comes with four (4) M3 x 6 mm socket head cap safety screws of which two (2) are needed to prevent the plate from sliding off an Arca-Swiss-compatible ball head. The package also contains 2 hex wrenches - one for each type of supplied screw. The supplied instruction sheet shows different ways of using the safety stop screws to minimize twisting as well.

Q: 7. if i mount this on to my canon 70-200 f2.8L IS II on a ballhead, would I be able to fit the Vello CB-600 Straight Flash Bracket on the front of the plate?

A: At least my Wimberley quick release plate does not have threads in the (appropriate size) round holes that it has. Therefore I can not directly connect my (old Hama) flash bracket plate under it. I could connect it through the holes by using an additional bolt with washer and nut. (I hope I understood the intended configuration right.)

Q: 8. What is the best lens plate to use with the Nikon 200-500 lens and MeFoto road trip tripod?

A: The Wimberley website says to use the P-30 for the Nikon 200-500 lens. That is what I use and it works fine. The P-20 is for other lenses.

Q: 9. I have a Tamron 150-600 mm lens. I have a Wimberley p 20 lens plate, but Wimberley recommends the p30. Could I use my current p20 on this lens? I use a Wimberley gimbal head.

A: I think their recommendation of the P30 is to give the range needed to balance camera bodies of different weights. A Rebel without a battery grip is going to have a significantly different center of gravity than a 1D series or a pro-sumer body with a battery grip. In short if you you have a heavier camera you're probably never notice but if you use a pro-body without a grip or maybe even a Rebel with a battery grip you will probably want the extra length.

Q: 10. Does this P20 plate attach and screw underneath the Nikon Z 400mm F/4.5 S Lens Foot?

A: Yes, the Wimberley P20 Quick Release Plate attached to the bottom of the foot on the Nikon 400mm f4.5 Z mount lens.
