Best tripod head / plate for GH1 + Adaptor + big lenses?

So I've finally received my Novoflex adapter and promptly mounted my 105 1.8 Nikon, (needless to say, I'm quite stoked :-) )

However now I have to think to a suitable platform to support the whole thing, the 105 being heavy, and the 180 2.8 being 30 cm long (w/adapter) and still nicely heavy...
What could I use as a connecting plate to the tripod, and which I could use to support at least the adapter (in order not to strain the camera flange itself)?

Thx

This is the problem...

This is the problem...

This is the problem I'm trying to solve - i.e. how to fix the camera to a suitable head, while supporting adequately the GH1 - Novoflex - lens combo, and allowing for control of aperture ring + focus...This lens, along with the 180 2.8 are my two concerns for size & weight (granted, not like the Red Rock primes...).
Have had a look @ Manfrotto, etc, but the plethora of models and characteristics just beats me (consider that I don't have a fully stocked store in my vicinity, which makes things that more difficult....).

Thx

Paul
