Manfrotto Q6 Top Lock Acra Swiss head?

Hi All

I have a Manfrotto ballhead with its original RC2 QR head on my tripod but I have switched everything in my kit apart from that to Arca Swiss types. So a while back I spotted that Manfrotto had introduced their own AS head as here http://www.manfrotto.c​o.uk …release-ball-head-adapter

Has anyone got this head and have you found it compatible with RRS L plates and Wimberley plates???

TIA for the user insight

Which Manfrotto head do you have? Many of them can be converted to take real A-S clamps, and probably for less than Manfrotto wants for their clamp.

The ballhead is the 498RC2 and last time I looked at the likes at RRS and Kirk (thinks do Wimberley do one?) bearing in mind I am in the UK they were quiet pricey compared to the Manfrotto one.

I have no experience with that Manfroto clamp but usually a screw clamp is very universal.

The normal problem when combining different manufacturers clamps and plates is the width of the plate which makes the lever clamp, which is not meant to adjust easily, not grip or over grip plates.
