Peak Design Slide and Manfrotto 322RC2

[sep9001]

Hi

I have the Peak Design Slide attached to may camera with the plate provided with the Slide, but that does not work with my Manfrotto 322RC2 head.


I don't use the tripod much but would like to be able to attach the camera to the head without removing the Peak Design Slide plate.

What other options do I have?

Thank you

Thank you John, looking online it is a expensive as the Slide, any other options and where is the best place to buy one from?

Attach the slide to the camera lugs and use whatever plate you want.

Good Point Mr S, but I prefer it to hang on the side, using the loops it does not hang correctly on the side but may just have to try it out.

Thank you

The cheap (if clunky) way would be just screw an Arca Swiss compatible clamp to the top of the Manfroto head. More expensive Hejnar can provide you with a conversion system / plate.

I noticed in searching that on Amazon there is a conversion plate which claims...

The Haoge Quick Release Clamp for Arca-Type Plates with Manfrotto RC2 Base is a specialty Arca Swiss-type clamp that features a Bogen/Manfrotto RC2 plate/base at its bottom. It allows you to add Arca-type plates to your Bogen/Manfrotto RC2 quick release system​

sounds like it should do what you need for only £20

Try Premier Ink. They have one, reduced to £24. Not sure about p&p, or if it's the best online price, but certainly lower end.
