Hi,

I have a Manfrotto M710HDV head which I bought for use with a spotting scope some years ago. It works well for that use but now I'm looking to use my R5 for some video and thought this head would be an ideal way to do that. I am putting a bowl on my Gizto with a Manfrotto half-ball. I want the camera to sit perpendicularly to the head plate. I can obviously attach the camera by simply screwing the head plate onto it but I'd prefer to find a better way.

Is there an attachment I can screw the plate onto to make this happen? I do have an old clamp which came from an Arca Swiss Z1 ballhead which I could probably use but I'm not sure how I'd attach it to the Manfrotto plate. Any ideas?

Thank you

I think I found and posted a solution here. Is this what you’re looking for?

That is, if your head accepts the rectangular Manfrotto dovetail plate…
