Has anyone tried using the Manfrotto RC4 quick release plate on the Chamonix 045n-1, or 045n-2?

I don't know what the dimensions of this plate are, but the tripod head I'm thinking of getting uses the RC4 quick release plate system and the description doesn't give any dimensions of the profile.

It's about 2 1/2" x 3 3/8". Are you looking at the Manfrotto 3275 head? (aka bogen 510)
There is a thread or 2 about them on this forum.
Works great.... I use one on an 8x10 Deardorff.

I believe the 3275 was replaced by the 410 junior but yes, that's the one. :)

Yes, the 410......It's ideal for 4x5 or 5x7, my 8x10 kinda pushing it.

My only minor complaint about the head is, the bubble level is not visible with a LF camera mounted.

I guess that's why they have these:
