Nice review, thank you. But t sounds like this is your first tripod. You said "i don't know why this is called a quick release plate" and right after you quickly slide out the plate with the blue button.... You just answered your own question. The reason the plate can slide in the head is to balance your camera. Loosen the tilt resistance and if the camera leans forward, you slide backwards on the plate. This way you don't have to fight the weight when making a tiltshot while filming. A well balance camera on your tripod works so much nicer. There is NO design fault with the locking knob. I have not seen this head, but i can assure you Benro did not make a mistake here. If you pull the knob outwards, it releases itself from the screwing-mech on the inside. This way you can position the knob precisely in the right spot for locking and releasing the plate. So the buying of a second release system was not necessary. And if you do that, please buy the right one or at least mount it properly because how you mounted this one was just bad. The release knob of that one should never be on the front and crooked space between the two plates is asking for problems. How level is that? Good luck
There are no flaws in the design, it fits any type of camera bodysuit, wide or not. It happened to me when I started on video and I thought I should buy another tripod. I was the problem .
Thank you for that review, I'm definitely convinced, although I would have loved an Arca-Swiss compatible head... Will need to put an adapter on top of that. But overall this tripod seems to have a great value for money! Thanks again!
Good video. I agree, that the plate locking knob could have been a better design. With that said, did you know they are spring loaded and you can pull it out to change the angle, then continue to tighten. It is still a pain to use, as I have another tripod with the same knob, and I don't care for it much.

Just bought mine yesterday. Thanks for the quick release plate info.
Very helpful! Well done and thanks for the link to the plate that actually works.

User error if you ask me, these guys at Benro are clever, the fault is in the instructions manual if this knob mechanism is not properly explained.
