60D and the Redrock DSLR Baseplate

58mm Rokkor

I recently purchased some Redrock gear including the DSLR Baseplate. I have the baseplate configured with my Canon 5DmkII using the Canon set screw which really helps secure the camera to the Baseplate (I am also using the Redrock Follow Focus).

I love this Baseplate.

The issue I have is this: I just purchased the new Canon 60D camera. It appears that the small hole for the set screw is in a different location on the bottom of the 60D (why can't Canon use the same location?) than it is for the 5D.

Is there any way I can retrofit the Redrock Baseplate to accommodate the 60D? Will there be a new top section for the DSLR Baseplate that will accommodate the 60D? I find that this tiny set screw really helps remove any wobble in the follow focus...
