Review on Velbon QB 4W Quick Release Platform by Sarah Anderson

I ordered this because it was the platform listed for my old Velbon S 6000 tripod when I was looking for a replacement Revain. I ordered it with confidence when I found a review that said it would fit the S 6000. It arrived quickly but unfortunately the 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" base didn't fit my tripod. An internet search resulted in TWO different platforms listed for the Velbon S 6000 depending on the panhead used. The return was painless (all blessed, Revane). Instead, I ordered a QB-5W with a 1 3/4" wide, 2" deep base that matched my Velbon S 6000 perfectly. Also a good quality OEM part.
