What plate do I need to get for the Velbon CX 640?

you need the type and model of your tripod and the type and model of whatever you are installing on the tripod and go to the website of velbon and look for the product that will match your items

The Velbon head has a standard 1/4 inch thread fitting, so any tripod that offers that will accept that head. Almost all tripods have that, it is an industry standard for consumer market tripods.The Vanguard VT 200 seems to come with its own head, but judging by the pictures, it will unscrew and the Velbon head can then be substituted, provided the Vanguard uses the industry standard screw.Unscrew the Vanguard head and measure the diameter of the screw that sticks up from the tripod. If it is 1/4 inch, you're good to go.

Did you get an answer, Neil? I have the same question. If not- did you find a release plate that fit?

It comes with one, however THESE ARE NOT STANDARD ARCA-SWISS COMPATIBLE PLATES. The included quick-release plate is a fine one, but just be aware if arca-swiss compatibility is important to you.

I believe is the mounting plate. The one I bought had a manfrotto compatible plate. The other is another type of Mount. It doesn't matter which one you get unless you have a tripod and want to make it compatible with your equipment. Fyi, When I bought it, it was 80$.

It looks like the 3160 takes the same plates. If it were me in your shoes, I'd buy it.

With this combination, you will be placing the plate on the foot of the 70-200 lens. It will work just fine. I use it with a similar rig, but the 200-400mm lens (significantly heavier) and it works just fine. However, the plate that comes with this gimbal only has one bolt. I went to my local hardware store and purchased a second for more stability. It works great.

I use an Aladdin BX4325 tow bar with this base plate. Looking at the Blue Ox website, the Aventa LX attachment looks the same so I think you are in good shape. I would recommend calling Blue Ox directly (1-800-228-9289, M-F 7:30-5:30 CST) to get a more definitive answer. Ken

Sure! Look for "Arca-swiss" compatible plates. There are lots of options out there.

Yes, I have mine on a Manfrotto tripod. I can't tell you what size plate to get as I don't know anything about the Tamron lens. I would get on line and go to Tamrons or whom ever you plan to buy your plate from and see what they recommend. Good luck!

I bought the Foto4easy QB-4W Quick Release QR Plate for SONY VCT-D580RM/ VCT-D680RM/ VCT-R640/ Velbon CX-888/CX-444/CX-460 and it worked with this tripod. It was a tight fit out of the box, but a file solved that issue and it fits perfectly. the above part is slightly larger than the original (44.3mm x 44.3mm x 9.5mm vs 43.5mm x 43.5mm x 9mm)

We have a Velbon CX 470. It is old, probably had it round 18 yrs or so. It works well for cameras too.

The best place to get a qualified answer is with the manufacturer of the Blue Ox baseplate. They make baseplates for specific application, so they are the "expert".

Yes. You will need a face plate that works with this and your other controls.

This is the correct plate. for the 1st model # the 2nd model# is non existant unless you meant MCD990ARW and that is still the same plate.

I bought the plate because I had a different bumper. Not sure if you would need one not familiar with that bumper. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.
