Ken,
Thank you for this suggestion.
I think that might be a reasonable solution for my needs.
So, basically, it is an Arca-Swiss clamp that can be bolted to
the desired Bogen/Manfrotto QR (RC5 in my case).
In you case you have an extra aluminum block, but I wonder if it can be
avoided.
In the simplest case, that "bolting" can be done if that clamp has a 3/8"
or 1/4" female thread in it, and, preferably, a whole for the pin in my
case -- to avoid any extra rotation on the said screw.
Since there are A-S clamps that mount directly onto a monopod or heads, -
they obviously do have one of such holes.
So, the question now is: Is there a hole as well, - to avoid the rotation
of this clamp on the RC5 plate?
I am looking at the clamps, e.g. from RRS:

One of the "mounting styles", with the threaded center hole is what I'd
need. I don't think there would be a hole for the pin (I don't see it
being mentioned). So, I wonder, how is such a clamp is secured against
rotation on a threaded stud?
Any ideas/suggestions?
Just in case, to help visualizing, RC5 plate looks like this:

Igor, I have a Kirk adaptor that mounts an Arca Swiss receiver onto a
Bogen plate for my 'mini gear head. It's simply an aluminum 'block that
bolts to an Arca Swiss receiver that then is clipped onto the Bogen head
like the Bogen plate.

Subject: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?
I wonder if there are any "adapters" that would have the bottom as a QR plate
for one of the Manfrotto heads, and on top would be a clamp accepting Arca
Swiss plates?
I am particularly interested in RC5 but I am curious if these type of beasts
exist at all.
Note, I am not looking for "dual" plates. (I believe I've seen
such for RC2 + Arca Swiss...)
