Fplate- An alternative to a tripod for getting low - Michael Lloyd - 2013-03-03

I'm not spamming guys... I found something that I think we could all make good use of so I'm sharing it.

I just picked up an Fplate from Fplate.Net (they are on FB too). I put an RRS BH20 ball head on it. I bought it for shooting sports and weddings but last night I tried it for some time lapse footage. The last sequence below is was shot from the Fplate. Even with a ball head this Fplate is very light. I can see it going into my back pack and being used to hold one end of the rail up as well as a number of other uses.
