Re: R8 problem
David
If your Manfrotto was made before Jan 2006, it could well have the screw that exceeds the agreed international standards.
When I advised them of the problem, and that it was caused by their screw length, the UK dealer sent me a new plate with the shorter thread.
It was definitely not the R8 socket that was at fault, it was the Manfrotto head. As I said, they have since changed their screw lengths to comply with ISO / DIN standards. However, even though the R8 socket does meet ISO standards, the R9 socket is ever so slightly deeper.
