Hi Jan, Thanks for the pic, to me it looks far more usable than either the 400 or 410 geared heads, nice. Couple that with a pair of 454 micro positioning plates and you'll have macro nirvana. :-) It appears to employ the same rectangular QR plate as the 410 (410PL-14) good for a hunk of a camera like the P67. Many of the ball and 3D heads like the 308RC and 141RC use a smaller rectangular plate (200PL-14).
