I'm trying to find a ball head that uses the same quick release as the Manfrotto 3047 head I have for my tripod. It just seems like it would make life a whole lot easier to have the same plate mounted on both cameras that will fit the 3047 Pan Head I have and the ball head that want to get for my monopod. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

About the only think that takes the Manfrotto QR is another Manfrotto! And while Manfrotto sells QR plates, they don't separately sell a QR base. Maybe you can find someone on POTN who removed the Manfrotto QR and replaced it with one of the Arca-compatibles?

I have no problem with getting a Manfrotto ball head but do you know the model that will fit the QR plate that comes with the 3047 that I have?

Hmmm...spoke too soon! I discovered this, while trying to figure out which QR plate on the 3047 (which is the 030-14 plate)...
