Review on Velbon QB 4W Quick Release Platform by Kate Woods

Sony quick release platform included with the Sony VCT-80AV remote control tripod for use with the Sony camcorder compatible tripod which is otherwise a great Product is of great value - easy to lose and extremely difficult and expensive to replace. Even Sony stores, like the huge upscale store at Houston's Galleria Mall, don't carry it, and buying it online costs almost half what the tripod originally cost. Field use has shown that the Velbon QB-4W is a flawless replacement at a fraction of the price and is easier to find at Revain and other online retailers than the Sony replacement. If this review saves you the three hours I wasted online, on the phone, and shopping, it will make me happy.
