I beleive chris uses this one. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/3423..._Flip_lock.html (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/342302-REG/Arca_Swiss_802010_Quick_Release_with_Flip_lock.html) . You should just send him a message. He posts on this forum often, under CBarrett.

On another note, I wouldn't be using a ballhead if I were you. Not much control there.

I'm sure the arca quick release will attach to that head. That head would be overkill though. I use the Manfrotto 410.

Answer from Chris Barrett : " In these photos I am mounting the Arca on a Manfrotto 410 Tripod Head. There is a short rail clamp that holds the camera's rail to the tripod head. That rail clamp is included with the camera "

He's talking about the rail clamp with the arca quick release thread. You still need to slide that into the quick release plate. The Manfrotto 410 doesnt have an arca-type quick release plate, so you need to screw the Manfrotto plate into an arca quick release adapter. I'm pretty sure the link i posted above is the exact arca-type quick release adapter Chris has. That might come with the camera as well, but I'd be surprised.

Ok Jonatham.. as I understand you :  From bottom to top : Tripod Head ( Manfrotto 400 in my case ),  Arca-Swiss Quick Release Adapter with Flip-lock ( have to buy it ), rail clamp with Arca quick release thread ( comes with the camera ) and the M-Line Two.

Am I right ?
