For those of you who own a Manfrotto Be Free Fluid Head. I just received mine and I am very happy with it. The only concern I have is the quick release adapter plate is huge. I'm looking to put one on my outdoorsman bino adapter and on my spotter. Has anyone modified the plate to be a little smaller - especially with the bino adaptor. I can't really see any reason why I would need to adjust the forward/back on the tripod (the scope may need a little bit more adjustment available). So before I start chopping, any recommendations or tricks or other plates that work instead?
