Manfrotto Micro Positioning Plate
Just wanna share some useful information of this plate that bought it last Friday. I tested it over the last weekend and find that it is pretty easy to use and I can focus the insect to the nearest distance (about 12cm) from my 100mm macro lens. It also has quick release that allow me to position the setup fast. See my setup with the plate

What can it do ?
It allows to position your setup nearer to the insect. Useful for macro photographer who want to take serious still life nature shots.
How much does it costs ?
I got it S$105 (Singapore).
Where can I find its specification ?

Any other advice before I want to get this plate ?
Ensure your tripod is stable to support the weight as well as a good and strong ball head. So far it works very well with my markin ballhead.
Any sample shot ?
