Manfrotto replacement foot for Sony 200-600 lens?

[LandyShooter]

Oh boy, I am really struggling to buy a quality fluid head with a flat base that's not too tall overall. Part of the problem is the Sony 200-600 lens.

Does anybody produce a replacement foot for it that is Manfrotto based rather than Arca Swiss please? They all seem to be Arca Swiss?!

Nobody makes one that is Manfrotto based, you need to attach a Manfrotto foot to the base on the lens. I too once made the mistake of getting a Manfrotto tripod and dealt with their stupid plate requirements, I will not make that mistake again. Still like their bags.

Thanks, I won't use a double plate, so won't buy the tripod then...
The 'professional' companies seem stuck in the dark ages a bit - they are missing out on the prosumer market that YouTube etc has created...

Nope. I have to attach a spare manfrotto quick release plate to the 200-600 base plate. I’ve got one on the camera body and one on the 200-600 lens permanently. Also one on my Pentax, from when I purchased the tripod.
