Is it sold with quick release plate? If so, which one?

Yes. The base screws onto the tripod, or in my case mono pod, and then there is a base plate that comes with the head. It gets attached to the camera.

Well, I'm not using this original head and quick shoe (plate), I bought a new video type head when I got this tripod and replaced them. If you are interested buying a new ball head I can sell a original head with quick shoe to you. Please contact me. They are new condition. I can set up a eBay with buy now option.

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

I don't know the difference but I have the U8000 and it does have the quick release.

I think the camera release plate is proprietary; it wouldn't work with a Slik release plate I have. The ball head comes with 1 camera release plate; I think additional ones go for $15-$20.

I don't use that particular plate, so I cannot give a reliable answer. I'd suggest pursuing the matter further with Black Rapid by emailing them from their website

No quick release plate, this is a very rudimentary support. Quite sturdy and simple in design, it uses a standard 1/4 inch / 20 thread tripod mount

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.

The one I bought from Amazon has a quick release plate that is 1 3/16" square. Hope that helps. Terry Q.

This will not work with all quick release tripods. I had bought a tripod from best buy(Sunpak - PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG 61" Tripod) and it didn't fit in the quick release So I bought a new head for it (http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-C2-AE-Universal-Quick-Release-Plate/dp/B00HLVZL78/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) and it works perfect!

YES! Actually it does, just contact Amazon.com customer service by going into their chat support. They've had numerous complaints about this ad, heck it says "Quick Release Plate" in the title! I thought I was getting one. Anyways, yeah, they credited me $18.00 and I ordered a Neewer quick release plate, it arrived today. The baseplate is great BTW.

Yes, mine did come with such a plate. However, that was three years ago. So you should double check with the manufacturer.

Yes, I had the previous model, loved it, and it was stolen. I bought the second model skeptical that it was the same product, but the way the handle on the pivot head was made is more durable. It's an improvement, don't worry. The quick release plates are still interchangeable. This one pivots from the bottom too, which is great for panning shots. You use your whole body.

Good question. You can get one for 12 dollars from B & H . I didnt see one on Amazon, but if you type "magnus vt 300 quick release" on the internet, you may find a cheaper price. Hope this helps. Otherwise, this tripod only comes with one quick release plate and its a hard cardboard and hard plastic plate that may not fit other items.

Yes, the quick release plate is included, it can be locked to prevent accidental release.Quite effective.
