I just got an old MH055M8-Q5 head for $20, and I hope to use it with my long lens instead of the ball heads. The head is in great condition, aside from the missing screws on the dovetail plate and the panning bar is currently stuck. This is my first time using a Manfrotto tripod product, so I am very inexperienced with making them Arca-compatible. What would be a more elegant/cost-effective solution here? Ordering a new set of screws + an Arca dovetail, or just ordering a separate Arca-compatible Manfrotto plate (such as the ProMediaGear version)?
And if you have suggestions on how to unjam the panning bar lock, I'm also all ears.
