I've built a few rigs over the last few months, and I got tired of swapping my 501PL plates around. Frustrated, today I decided to grab a few more spares so I don't need to rotate them (and I always seem to lose them). Here's a listing for generic 501PL plates for just $9 dollars + FREE SHIPPING in case you guys need some.
Manfrotto 501PL Compatible Quick Release Plates

Hey Emm,
Any update on these? How are they compared to the OEM plates? Also, do you know if these are compatible with the Giottos MH621 system as well?

They work great but are SHORT plates.

Post author@Julius - It's mentioned that it is for the 701HDV (which is a 501PL plate). I've ordered a few, so when it arrives I can tell you if it works.
Julius
will these work with 701hdv head?
I had bought some a few months back from this vendor, but now it's not mentioned in the details.
Thanks!

Good one, Emm. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect, I believe that will fit Sachtler products and costs a helluva lot less!
