What dovetail plate for Manfrotto 504hd

[Jason beaumont]

I have the manfrotto 504hd tripod head but it has a quick release plate on it. Im trying to change it to a dovetail release plate so it is compatible with my rig and set up.
Can someone link me where i can buy this? I havent been able to find it. Again im looking for the dovetail quick plate that will fit the manfrotto 504hd tripod head.

If i'm not mistaken. Manfrotto plates are specific to their heads. Meaning that you cannot 'mix and match' dovetails. I'm sure that you can only use the quick release plates by Manfrotto for their heads.


(this is from what I know. Please correct me if I am wrong)

so i would have to buy a completely new tripod head?

Are you talking about an Arri standard dovetail? What system does your rig have?

so there is no adapter plate?

There is no special adapter plate. You just need an Arri standard dovetail plate that you can attach to your Manfrotto quick release plate: http://woodencamera.com/Safety-Dovetail-12.html

And then an Arri standard bridge plate for the bottom of your camera. Of course, you are most likely overloading your Manfrotto head with all this stuff, but that's a topic for another day.
