    Good for you. Other's mileage may vary.
    I'd find the whole complaining about 'copying' a little less hypocritical if there was some acknowledgement of how many companies in the USA have ripped off Arca-Swiss' dovetail QR plate design over the last 20 years.

    And Phillips gave his blessing to those following his ideas of camera design.

    Personally I won't use any camera except an original Camera Obscura© brand camera. Anything else is just a substandard knock-off. Probably made in China.

    Some of us buy used Manfrotto heads from the flea market for $30. Of course they're not shiny and new, and may even need to be disassembled and cleaned.

    Not any more. I bought one brand new in 1985. It was the least reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Now I drive a 2003 Honda Accord. It's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

    Sal, you must not have owned a Triumph, which was my first car. Every drive was an adventure. Will I make it home? There was only one way to tell...

    To acknowledge an improvement to older designs

    Luland has a few, study them

    Luland Produced Super Large Format Camera 3D panorama Tripod Head 150mm TH-150R

    Yes that is a ARCA Swiss TYPE QR, but I have found almost nobody makes an exactly compatible Arca Swiss knock off

    I don't use any Arca Swiss real products or the imitations, and have tried original and not

    Consider this Luland product, it is unique and something a few here may want.

    Bought a 1964 Fairlady with metric body and SAE drive line.

    Macarthur plan japan supplied SAE machine tools

    Paid $100, from storage buyout. Korean immigrant did the paint for tools in trade, a very good job!

    That's Marnie (RIP) 1992, I used the car from 1983, sold for $2500
