    Low-Profile Tripod Head that uses Hex Plates?

    Hi,
    I have a Manfrotto 229, I think it's the best tripod head for me for heavier cameras (TK45, 8x10 field); I don't want to get rid of it.
    It's mounted on a super-stable Induro, and the set-up is great to work with.
    I also have a smaller CF tripod, I use it for travel.
    The CF tripod uses a head that takes the newer RC plates, which I'm not overly fond of, as they don't have additional locking screws; the camera is thus able to swivel while mounted.

    I also have a 3047 head which is fantastic in its own right, but it's for sale because it sits quite high.
    I'm looking for a tripod head that accepts the Manfrotto hex plates and that also has a lower profile than a 3047.

    Maybe there's also some way to get a completely different head, but adapt it for hex plates?
    This is where I stumble, so I'm turning to you for answers or advice.

    Thanks in advance.
