Can you remove the round mounting plate from the 1/4" thread portion?

the complete mounting system can be taken apart into 3 individual parts. But the articulating ball socket is fixed to the 1/4'' flat mounting plate, which is one of the three parts. this device works well.

Unfortunately, the plate is fixed in place with round metal ball so you can not remove it without breaking it(it's all metal)

G'day EddieAmazon, You can only remove the the mounting plate from the main stem but not the 1/4" thread. It is a sealed one part joint.However, The entire assembly can be separated into three parts. The Main stem, The suction cup and the ball joint.Hope this helps.

No, the plate is welded to the ball hinge. However the 1/4" thread can be removed from the plate.

No, unfortunately the plate does not unscrew. If that's a problem, you'd probably need to get something like a RAM-B-237U instead, which is essentially the same assembly but terminates with a plate-free camera mount. In my case, I needed the flexibility of both, so I got the RAM-B-166-202AU and then purchased a RAM-B-237U separately. That means that I can swap out the last piece for whatever situation I find myself in... with the plate, for when I'm using my dSLR or camcorder, or without, when I'm using a point-and-shoot or a GoPro.

The mounting system is actually 3 separate pieces 1) The Suction Piece 2) The center piece that holds everything together and 3) The actual mount itself. They can all be separated. Mine was actually mailed apart. I hope this helps. I'm not sure what each piece is called...sorry 'bout that!

it could be removable IF one grinds off the rivets ... but reattaching could be another story :-)

Yes. The clip has a semi-circle mount. It can be removed altogether, or removed and replaced on the other end of the barrel in the opposite direction.

It looks like you can unscrew the flexible clamp, but you'll still have a round raised slot about 1/8" high on the bottom of the cylinder. I'd try to unscrew it to make sure but I need the clamp and don't want to mess it up, sorry.

The entire munt is removable. It would depend on what kind of mounting rings you have

The mounting plate is not threaded. The lock cylinder is threaded and there is a jam nut that secures the lock cylinder to the mounting plate from the back side.

No it has a 1/2 inch screw thread. Although I would expect you could find a reducing bushing that would work.

Yes, xD i took the plate off but its oversized enough that you could remove the screws and mount the new pad back over the original pad and prevent its loss, also stripper clips are really tight i took pliers and loosened em' up a bit also closed up one end so i could only load them one direction to help avoid rim-lock

I guess you could remove the clamp using a spanner. What do you mean by thread on?

Hi Brad, (1) It does not have a quick release head- basic 1/4" threaded stud with plastic turn key attached under the mounting plate. (2) I tried to remove the head but it looks like I might damage the plastic ring that goes around the center post. But after removing the threaded bolt and that tightens the pan-lock it looks like the head could be removed by by inserting some kind of chisel/tool between the pan-lock ring and expanding it out of the groove at the top of the center post. I'm just not convinced that the plastic pan-lock ring won't break in the process. So yes you could remove the head and I assume Slik has other heads that would fit this post. Good luck- Michael M.

Yes, using the screw-open, screw-close ring you see in the picture. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be possible.

Yes, that is easily accomplished. This mount comes with two long screws that replaces the factory pins that retain the trigger group. Be sure to save those factory pins when you install this to use when you remove the mount. For me attaching and removing this mount was fast and simple. A word of caution though, every time you install and remove this mount you run the risk of scratching your finish.

Mine was reverse-threaded. I removed a standard 1/4-20 screw from a flash bracket and I was able to screw it in from the top. I thought about trying to find a reverse-threaded bolt to use on a quick plate but it's too much work for a $48 part. I'm dealing with Photodiox now to obtain a replacement since I was past the normal Amazon return period when I first tried using it.

1&7/8" I'm not sure about removal, the bit has a 6 sided shoulder at the socket which would lead you to believe It might be able to be removed with a boxend wrench and the socket wrench.

No, it is one piece with the bead sliding up and down on the brass "hanger". I suppose it could be removed if you did not want it.

you can remove the dust cover, with the mount attached. Not used it yet ,seems solid.
