it is not going to w/o a seperate below the ball panning base.
the bulk of the mechanicals are above the ball including the pan base. in order for the sidekick to attach to the existing slidefix clamp with a \"adapter plate*\" the only existing pan base will need to be flipped 90 deg and locked to hold the setup. the base of the P0 that attaches to the tripod is a non rotating component so an additional 3rd party panning base would be required to allow rotation at the bottom.
*currently none available.
look as long as you don\'t need to use a sidekick it\'s not an issue. someone will design something else for it for us to buy. its a fairly simple design to do also. in fact it can be made to center over the z axis nicely too.
So in short, pO is not a substitute for the old Arca-swiss and alike.
So bad.
Well nothing is perfect, as the fox told Petit Prince.
and the wise man asks the man clutching a fist full of cash: do we purchase the new cool looking one or do we go with something that plays and works well with others?
