Tripod Quick Release

[hortense]

What kind of tripod quick-releases are available for a Hassleblad?

 

[Dave Parker]

What type would you like and what type of tripod are you mounting it on? There are a large number that will fit on them.

I *thought* there was only 2 available for the Hassy. The old one and the new one (has bubble). Both, way overpriced -- Hassy of course. You mean there are aftermarket ones?

A quick-release is not dependant on the type of tripod; it's dependent on the thread sizes of the tripod and camera.

I guess it would not be dependant on the tripod, but is dependant on the type of tripod head you are using.
