Have the benro s2 head and Leica bino mounting platform. There is not enough room to tighten the platform to the benro head. Is there an extension I need? I am getting frustrated with compatibility issues.

I also have a benro head and love it. Can you post a pic of your problem? Are you attaching leica part to an adaptor plate then to tripod head?

I also ran across this issue. The s2 adapter plates are too thin for the leica stabilite platform to clear all parts on the s2 and allow the adapter plate to fully seat in the pan head.

I didn't have the same issue on a outdoorsman micro PH. This was the last straw for the s2, I ordered a outdoorsman pan head to replace it.

Other possibilities:
-fabricate a spacer to go between s2 adapter plate and leica bino adapter if there are enough threads to accommodate.
- swap the leica adapter for the similarly concept outdoorsman model
- does benro make taller adapter plates?
