This is the tripod head I've settled on getting. I don't want the D750 Acratech quick release plate because I want a universal plate. I'll also be using it on the MB-D16 grip. HOWEVER, which one would somebody recommend? The Acratech specs say that the GP-ss is "Compatible with Kirk, Arca, R.R.S., and many other quick release plates."

I've found these in my search, but I'd like to read some user experiences from Nikon users, specifically with the D750:

Arca-Swiss Universal
Sunwayfoto DP-50R - this one looks very versatile but I'm leery about the $16 price!

So if I understand you correctly this Acratech GP is Arca-Swiss compatible and you need an Arca-Swiss compatible QR plate? I think the last one I bought cost something like $10 or $15... I got it from Amazon. Or maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking.

I have one of the Sumway plates and have had no problems with it on my D810. I wouldn't worry about the cost.

You're correct, maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I'm also interested in opinions about the two universal QR plates that I listed, as well as feedback about any other Acra-Swiss compatible plates that people use with Acratech ballheads that work the best.
