Those Lulands look interesting. Especially the tilt plate.

And clearly this version is nothing like the Arca Swiss so I guess you are likely referring to the G2 leveler in their lineup (you can find it by going to Geared Heads via the other link below) and even that only bears a passing resemblance to the Arca Swiss (as in as much as any of that style of leveller does - it's a bit like saying a ballhead resembles another ballhead just because it's a ballhead).
I don't know, the G4 looks an awful lot like a D4 and the G2 like an L60 ...

The Leofoto L60 leveler copy seems interesting ... ideally I like to avoid giving presence to IP thieves.
Since nearly every high end modern ballhead looks like it was inspired by the B1 and everybody bar Manfrotto uses a certain type of quick release plate ... yeah, good luck with that.
(I appreciate it that Arca Swiss haven't been aggressive about defending IP. Choice is good and the whole industry has benefited. Maybe it's been good for A-S as well. But you do get to wondering, why is it always Arca Swiss pushing the envelope?)
You guys are quick - I was still editing that post whilst having breakfast
Do Arca-Swiss benefit greatly from the constant marketing they receive from other manufacturers stating their plates will fit Arca-Swiss compliant ? Seems great marketing if so
