This viewfinder adjust well in a Manfrotto tripod 804RC2. The plate only fits the 501PL tripod? or fit all tripods? Thanks

Dear customer, Thank you for your email. The QV-1 baseplate shares a similar shape to the Manfrotto 501PL quick release plate. Once the QV-1 baseplate is attached to your camera, you can mount directly to supported Manfrotto video fluid heads. If you are using a different system, you can still attach your proprietary tripod plate under the QV-1 baseplate by accessing the available 1/4" threads. Thank You

This plate measures 2" by 1.5" by .5" ......However, I am not sure how useful that information will be to you...This plate is routed and angled to fit exactly on the tripod head referenced in the part number. If you try to use it on another, even if the dimensions are the same, it may not fit, and may cause your camera to disengage, resulting in damage. If you do not have a "Manfrotto 3157N QR Tripod Head", I would not recommend buying this plate...

The base of the plate measured from the bottom where it slips into the mount is 1-5/8" x 2". Mine works fine on my Manfrotto 3030 head.

Did your Celestron 20x80 binoculars come with the integrated tripod adapter rod? If it did read the manual to make sure the thread size matches up with the thread size on this tripod. I would assume the adapter rod would be the universal size for all standard tripods but its always good to check.

This is one area I found Black Rapid lacking in. I even emailed them before I purchased the product. The answer seems to be the only plate they say it works with is the a specific Manfrotto. The screw head is cheap enough you can always send it back if your quick release plate is not deep enough.

Make sure the correct end of 501PL is facing towards lens. Is there resistance when you rotate locking lever of right side of tripod head. Also visually check lock lever for function when 501PL is not mounted. Describe in detail what you are doing when inserting and locking it. As Bryan stated, we have no idea of your experience nor what you re doing or not doing. Describe steps please. Else go to a camera shop and ask them.

The plate that comes with this unit is an ARCA type plate. This is the same part to which the viewfinder is attached. It will fit 'side-ways' onto an ARCA type tripod head.

This plate fits only Velbon Tripod models. It has a 1/4 screw that fits most cameras as well as video cameras.

Well, I use my plate on a vpt-360 and the size of the plate is 2 1/8 on the short side (front and back) X 2 5/16 on the sides. works great!! the opening in the tripod head has a recessed inner dimension of 1 -1/4 inches X 1-5/8 so you may check that are also size........GOOD LUCK

Hi Alex, Yes, the DUAL plate included is designed to be used with Capture and as a quick release plate for most Manfrotto RC2 tripods.

Not very sure regarding the question. But for me no problem. I just screw the tripod mount under the viewfinder screw and no problem. Make sure to tighten enough or else it would defeat the purpose of tripod.

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com They stock a 41mm and a 45mm plate that may fit your tripod.

Generally they seem almost identical (except for some marking on the bottom) to the QR plate that came with my Manfrotto 804CR2.The bolt protrudes roughly 6mm on both the stock version and this. (this is fine for my Sony A55).I'm not quite clear on which tripod/head you have. If you have a Manfrotto 390RC2, than I'm pretty sure it will fit, I _think_ the RC2 is referring to the plate system.

To be totally honest I bought this Giottos for the purpose of using it on my glidecam HD4000 and it was not ideal. It didn't fit my other manfrotto plates like I was hoping and it was kind of stiff to slide in and out. I ended up returning the product and got the manfrotto version. Hope this helps!

Yes it will fit a Manfrotto tripod. I have one and it works with no problems. I use the Desmond DPC-140 lens plate which is 5.5 inches, attached to the Tamron 150-600mm lens.

I'm sure it will since you can adjust it to any tripod, we've been using in three different ones, and one is very odd and old, and no problem at all.
