Bill, For the R8 without any winder or motor, there is the RRS' B26 (video) plate. - -Page 28 in the Late 1999 Really Right Stuff catalogue. - -Picture of the B26, page 18 top right. It work perfectly well with the R8, because there is a video like attachment on it. The second hole next to the tripod thread. It work well with the APO 100/2,8. The B26 is also great with the Leica Bellows-R BR2. (same attachment). By the way, there is no RRS plate (yet) for the R8 + the new motor. The RRS' B44 is only for the R8 + winder, but without battery pack. Lucien
