Hybrid tripods on dslrs?

[Kristo]

Hi there,
I've been wondering if hybrid camera tripods could fit onto dslr cameras? Are hybrid's screws different? Let me know.

All modern tripods use the same mount, so no problems, I use a tripod designed for a DSLR with an LF camera.

Thanks!

No problem, and welcome to Photrio

Modern tripods and cameras use 1/4 inch Whitworth tripod threads, pre-WWII quite a few used 3/8. inch Whitworth, a few Large Format cameras used both after WWII.

What's a Hybrid Tripod?

Tripods are being marketed for one use, so the Slik Sprint Pro II I bought was marketed as for use with a DSLR or Video camera and the weight spec was more than my 5x4 lf camera. So sold as a digital camera tripod despite being far more versatile.

I guess the reverse is my 1900 or earlier tripod that came with a very early Gandolfi camera suitable to use with a DSLR, it is
