What sort of work do you do? How much weight do you need to support? It will hold a 70-200 f2.8 or f5.6 400mm just fine in my experience.

Thanks for any help.Yep, the 200PL is just the new name for the 3157N which was the new name for the RC2 plate. Same stuff, Manfrotto has just renamed it a couple times.
