Krystof Hejnar also make replacement plates for some of the Manfrotto fluid heads.

For example: http://www.hejnarphotostore.com/product-p/mvh502f63.htm

The mounting is a bit better than the Kirk conversion, and the package is cheaper, particularly if you already have a compatible clamp.

I have one of his Arca conversions on a Manfrotto 410 Geared Head (ideal if your video style is a bit Tokyo Story ), which works very well. I wouldn't have bought the head, with it's cranky plate system, if the conversion hadn't been available.http://www.hejnarphotostore.com/product-p/m410longf63.htm

The inner holes on these mounts are on a 30mm circle, which is compatible with Mr Hejnar's 2.375" clamps (e.g. http://www.hejnarphotostore.com/product-p/f62b.htm ), and also compatible with some chinese clamps.

Thanks, John. Will check it out.
