Meking Type H Adapter (Left) and Manfrotto 026 (Right). Looks pretty similar. Surprisingly I find the Meking adapter much better than the Manfrotto due to the available 'teeths' to allow easy 'stepping' of the angle of swivel. Price comparison of SGD23 v SGD44 also puts the Meking a good choice in terms of build and quality.
