Is there a way I can attach my tripod quick release plate to the bottom?

Yes there are several 1/4 x 20 thread options.....it might require some forethought on how you want to connect the camera and the plate. Right now I have a set of rails attached to the Gear Box plate with 1/4 x 20 thread for camera, then a manfrotto quick release plate attached to the bottom of that. Hope this helps.

Yes. Use a Manfrotto quick release attachment and attach that to the bottom of the unit.

Yes. you have to use the Manfrotto quick release attachment. and attach that to the bottom of the unit

Yes, there is. First attach your camera to the Gear Box, and then screw your quick release into one of the threads on the bottom of the Gear Box. It will be slightly offset, and it will cover up the screw holding the camera in place, but it works just fine.It creates an extra step if you are swapping cameras, but it's still very quick.

Yes, As long as you have a 1/4-20 attachment screw. I don't think it's a perfect solution for that, however. There are several 1/4-20 holes in the bottom of the plate, just nothing particularly centered...

No the plate would not fit the tripod but if you check the dimensions of the fluid head bowl on your tripod you may be able to get another fluid head to mount on your tripod that has the kind of quick release plates you may be looking for.

i'm not sure if this addresses your question; but the threaded hole on the bottom of this device is identical to the threaded hole (for tripod, flash etc.) on a camera. so, you will be able to screw the removable plate-with-screw from your quick-release onto this device with no problem.

No, there is no tripod screw hole. You would have to modify something to accommodate that.

I believe you could attach the soft box to a Camera Tripod using a 119 adapter (double female 5/8" stud). The stud would thread to the mounting screw on the Tripod Plate (that normally attaches to the bottom of your camera). Then the adaptor that comes with the softbox would attach to the stud. You may need one ore more studs to raise the softbox up and away from the legs of the tripod. - Jason

It comes with the quick release plate. So essentially nothing... Other than the tripod, or whatever your screwing the head onto.

Looks like this quick release plate will work with your tripod, it is a great value!

Joseph, yes there is a thread in the bottom of the knob. if you are thinking of tripod mounting using this threaded hole you could but I think I am going to attach a metal plate to the bottom of mine with the tripods head quick release plate and also form rubber feet to recess the quick release tripod plate.. ... as a camera holder this works well for lo angle shots etc here at our production unit. there are more elaborate systems for camera support... but of course the price escalates as the features increase. We have owned our unit for several months now. Ed#

Yes -and- No. No, you can't directly attach to a tripod quick release plate. BUT, I made a homemade quick release plate that will accept the attachment hub. Fairly easy with a jigsaw and dremel tool. Let me know if you are interested, I can email pictures and instructions. smfranz(at)netscape(dot)net

There is a hole on the bottom of the slider. My tripod came with a base plate that I attached to the slider and that's how I attached it to my tripod. I hope that helps.

The bottom seems to be a press fit on mine so no way to remove it, The flash plate has a 1/4 threaded bottom.

the quick release plate has a one quarter inch by 20 thread per inch screw (standard) that allows placing the plate firmly to the camera base. doing so rennders rapid no fumble mount and dismount to tripod head. enjoy!

I'm sure it would be possible to add a block with a tripod mount, however it does not come already set up for it.

Yes it does come with a quick release plate, but the leg locks on this tripod are not good at all, I use it for a go pro camera, but I would never put a heavier or more valuable camera on it. I'd be too worried that one of the legs would collapse, and the camera would fall.

Hello, yes you can, just make sure your tripod or quick release plate has a 1/4-20 thread and not the larger 3/8 thread that is often used for attaching ballheads to tripods, etc. Also be sure to fully charge your battery before installing the camera on the tripod, as most plates and mounts will prevent you from opening the battery door with the camera installed. Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

You can mount it directly on the plate, but I don't recommend that method. The free quick release plate will be good enough or you can use your own.

You have to screw it every time, no quick release plate comes with the tripod.
