Will this work with other standard camera release plates or does it require a plate designed for the ball head?

Yes. I have several base plates and they work fine. However, ReallyRightStuff base plates will not work.

I think the camera release plate is proprietary; it wouldn't work with a Slik release plate I have. The ball head comes with 1 camera release plate; I think additional ones go for $15-$20.

Not absolutely sure, but I would not trust the connection if the plate was not made for this model. When I ordered this head the kit I received included three plates.

it should fit standard tripod. just as an additional note: I have found myself not really liking this ball head.

No quick release plate. You have to screw the cam every time. That is the only flaw. Make sure is really tight if not it will fall.

You have to purchase a ball head separately. Manfrotto has many to choose from. Manfrotto 494RC2 Ball Head with Quick Release Replaces Manfrotto 484RC2by Manfrotto

i'm not sure if this addresses your question; but the threaded hole on the bottom of this device is identical to the threaded hole (for tripod, flash etc.) on a camera. so, you will be able to screw the removable plate-with-screw from your quick-release onto this device with no problem.

No the plate would not fit the tripod but if you check the dimensions of the fluid head bowl on your tripod you may be able to get another fluid head to mount on your tripod that has the kind of quick release plates you may be looking for.

I've purchased a number of ball & socket heads for various equipment, Clamps, flat camera holder, tripods so I don't know which is the ballhead that you're referring to. All the ones I purchased were small - in the neighborhood of two inches. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No quick release plate, this is a very rudimentary support. Quite sturdy and simple in design, it uses a standard 1/4 inch / 20 thread tripod mount

Yes, the tripod come with quick release plate. I don't know it fits in your camera.

It does come with a adapter plate that can attach between the harness catch and the camera. I am not sure how many types of tripods it can work with. I currently use a Really Right Stuff tripod and it fits onto the ball mount like a glove. A Manfrotto tripod uses a tipod top that does not allow for the adapter. The only L bracket I know of is used for large lenses in which you bolt on a tripod adapter to. If your adapter has a standard mount hole on the underside, then the circular catch for the harness should be able to screw onto it.Hope this helps more than it confuses.

That ball head will definitely work with this tripod. As long as the head has threads on the bottom (they all do) and a mounting plate to screw to the bottom of the camera you're all set.

I'm using vanguard and velbon tripod. Both quick release fit this plate. So I believe manfrotto's quick release will fit.

I couldn't tell you about the plate size for sure, but I would think a rather long one would help in the balancing when adjusting the zoom. It does use the standard tripod screw. No matter which head Ii use, Wimberly, Opteka, or my Manfrotto video head, they all use the same thread pitch and size, 3/8"- 16 to tripod. The short plate that comes with it has the 1/4"-20 thread for a camera.

Arca-swiss is another plate standard that is different from the Manfrotto standard. A Manfrotto plate will not work on this tripod head.

I haven't tried to mount it on a quick release plate personally, but it's a great addition to a standard tripod.

this is just the plate that screws to your camera and attaches to your head. It depends on which head you have if this will work for you.

I think this may work for u. The description says 1/4"-20 camera post to 17mm Ball Pattern Adapter Plate. I would be more than happy to show u a pic of it but i dont know any way of uploading a pic to amazon sorry.
