Chuck,
I thought the 3419 did dual axis movement, but based on your statement I did
a double check on the two position function.
When I looked at the description it states:
"Two plates can be interlocked at 90 degree for full lateral/forward/back
movement."
I believe that means you have to buy two of them to get what I've got with
the Adorama unit.
I'll have to think about that for a bit.
