The Camera plate you are missing is the 3157N Camera Plate It is a pretty standard item and readily available at most camera shops.

Ft. Worth Camera carries these items. I have a 486RC2 and get the plates from them on occasion when I get a new lens that requires one.

In Manfrotto / Bogen's infinite wisdom, that plate has now been renumbered. It is now a 200PL-14 (aka ex-3157N). We have them in stock at $12.99.

Mike
