Igor, The block between the Bogen clamp and the A/S receiver fits snugly into a wide depression in the bottom of the Kirk A/S receiver thus no rotation as the block is retained in the Bogen clamp just like the Bogen plate.
The aluminum block has a trapizoidal cross section, about 1/2" high by approx 2" long and wide enough the be securely captured in the Bogen clamp.
