I just got my Pro T Bracket and have a question for you other users. I also bought a anti twist plate. My problem is that the anti twist plate covers up the on/off switch.

Is there something I can do to fix this problem?

I understand there is a quick release plate. Would this fix it?

Now that I look at the package maybe I got the wrong one. It says it is for EOS 1 Cat. No 300-BE1.

Is there a different on for the 20D

The 300-EOS is for use without the battery pack/grip. The 300-BE1 is for use with the 1D2. I also use it (the 300-BE1) on my 10D when I have the grip on but I have to turn it 180 degrees so that the side of the plate that's supposed to go against the back of the camera is actually on the front side (to allow me to open the battery door on the 10D grip).

I just called B&H and ordered replacement. They told me the correct one for the 20D w/o grip is 300 SLR.

Now I am worried they are sending another wrong one. Any comments

Fear not. :)

Looks like they are sending you the right one. Here's an updated chart for the anti-twist plates and the 20D does, in fact, take the 300-SLR:

Keep the old anti-twist plate for when you get a battery grip.
