So what\'s poor in the design then
The casting(s) that form the Gitzo base plate is two pieces. The correct design is one casting to form the base plate.

What do you mean when saying the top-plate is two pieces? It looks like one piece on my Gitzo tripods ?
And who say one piece is the correct design
I carry my 800mm lens on my top-plate all the time. And it\'s strong enough to do that without any problem. And also without the plate getting loose or having to tighten it all the time
