  Back when I was first getting into
TLRs I found some reference to a Bogen
(I believe) TLR plate while doing
some dejanews searching. I couldn't
find it in my Manfrotto (here in
Canada) tripod catalog so maybe it's
discontinued. But the idea of it
was the same. A bit enough plate so
that the little corner feet had something
to rest on.
