I'm looking for a tripod quick release adapter and plates that I could use with several of my cameras.
I'm using an old Gitzo ball head, not marked, on a Gitzo Studex Performance. You can see it's shape and size in the attached photo.
I'd like to find an adapter I could screw onto the ball head that takes something similar to a hex plate- one that drops in rather than slides in. It would need to be fairly light weight and tight fitting- this is not the best ball head around :-(
I used to own an old Bogen 3047 head that took hex plates... I'd like something similar to that type of quick release- plate just drops in and springs closed.
I've seen some inexpensive ones on eBay, but not sure they will fit or if they are accurately built enough to be rigid (not sloppy).
Recommendations? I prefer not to buy a new ball head (with integrated quick release), but might consider one if not too expensive. Camera(s) and lenses is gonna weigh in the neighborhood of 2-3 pounds.
Thanks,
Keith
