My cameras and lenses all have Arca Swiss style plates. Now after receiving the Z7ii I want to go back and try shooting some video. I have a small Manfrotto 700RC2 fluid head.

Can anyone suggest an adapter/clamp that would allow me to mount the Arca Swiss to the Manfrotto head. My main ballhead is a RRS BH-55 and I shoot stills 95% of the time.

Thanks!

Or if you get a little better video head like the Manfrotto 500AH, you can get this:

Thank you. Will look into both. Not sure if I'll end up shooting much video but nice to have the option and support.

You might want to do a search and take a look at the Henry Hudson tripod video. Search "Your Favorite Head for a Tripod" Garfield Post
He uses the Monfratto MVH 500 fluid head with the Kirk Quick Release Bridge adaptor referenced by aolander above. Works great as a gimball for both long lens and short lens (90 degree capability). When video was posted early on there was a lot of interest and several tried it, including my self. I have a Nikon D500, a 80-400 and a 70-200 F2.8 E that it works great with. Less expensive, lighter weight and works great for BIF, airplanes, parachutists - you name it!
