I called the Freestyle store, and they confirmed to me that this QR assembly http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_prod.php?cat_id=&pid=4242 would indeed work with the Tiltall. The only problem with them is that the minimum order from that store is $25. I also found a few similar QRes at $20-30 available from B&H, but have no idea if anyone is better than the other. So, if someone has experience as for what to look for in QRes, and what are the potential problems, - I'd appreciate the advice. > a second version that uses hex bolts for that purpose.

I believe I saw today a QR assembly that is designed to attach the camera vertically. I don't remember where I saw it (B&H?), - but I was not impressed by the design (as it looked on the picture on the web). Igor
