Get the rc2 I have the rc0, big and hex shaped, for video. THe rc4 is for large format cams. If I had not had the video setup I surely would have opted for the rc2.

They (and the people who run Adorama) are conservative Jews. They are celebrating the Sabbath. They are also closed for all Jewish holidays.

The RC2 plate is roughly half the size (in either linear direction) of the RC4 plate.

The RC2 is, by far, the best choice of the three for 35mm SLR sized cameras (and anything smaller).

I just got my tripod there and I just chose whatever was in the "accessories" under the tripod I chose. That worked. And B&H will open again tonight after sundown and remember, they are closed for Passover, so order your stuff ASAP if you want it before April 2.
