What does "Easy to attach quick release plate" mean? Do I have to buy a quick release plate so I can attach it, or does it come with the quick release plate?

It comes with one, but you can order more to attach to more toys if you want to switch between them quickly. I.E. quickly switch between a high powered zoom with tripod mount, a camera and then to a spotter scope...

No quick release plate. You have to screw the cam every time. That is the only flaw. Make sure is really tight if not it will fall.

No the quick release is the only thing more than a simple mount. I still have found no negative issues with mine

It has threads on the bottom so you can mount a quick release plate (or mount it directly to a tripod if your tripod doesn't have a quick release plate).

The standard quick-release tripod plate works with the B-GRIP. Others are more problematic. I recently bought a MePhoto tripod which uses a different quick-release plate and it is not compatible with B-GRIP. Incidentally I had stopped using my B_GRIP after my camera fell out of it. I don't know why or how it fell out, but I was unwilling to take another chance.

It comes with the quick release plate. So essentially nothing... Other than the tripod, or whatever your screwing the head onto.

It comes with one, however THESE ARE NOT STANDARD ARCA-SWISS COMPATIBLE PLATES. The included quick-release plate is a fine one, but just be aware if arca-swiss compatibility is important to you.

It can be mounted directly onto the plate as It comes with its own quick release. Its not the best quick release but it get the job done. The plate has some holes that you will be able to screw the quick release onto. And the screw for this is provided also.

Did you get an answer, Neil? I have the same question. If not- did you find a release plate that fit?

It does have a release plate, but I would not put in the category as other quick release plates.

If you are buying, Manfrotto 498RC2 Ball Head with Quick Release Replaces Manfrotto 488RC2, then it comes with the plate that you can thread into your camera. I also bought an extra "Manfrotto 200PL-14 RC2 Rapid Connect Mounting Plate with 1/4-Inch 20 Screw" for my other camera so a plate is always attached to 2 cameras.. Hope this helps

I have lost my quick-release mounting plate, can you recommend me the correct plate for the 52-inches model?

This is one area I found Black Rapid lacking in. I even emailed them before I purchased the product. The answer seems to be the only plate they say it works with is the a specific Manfrotto. The screw head is cheap enough you can always send it back if your quick release plate is not deep enough.

It just screws in to the quick release plate that comes standard with most every tripod

Manfrotto 501PL Sliding Quick Release Plate. I have this on multiple tripods, monopods and stabilizers for quick camera change outs.This ball head was used for my slider and works well.

yes it comes with a quick release plate. and i never have had in my hands the 200ex pro, so i cant compare, but as you can see the model is totally different, however it must do the same job, i cant tell you which it´s the best

Yes it does. I sometimes will leave my tripod quick release plate attached. Works Great.
