What stud size does this accept for the tripod mount? I have an older slik with 1/4" stud.

Dear Stephen: the Slik Compact 3-Way Pan Head has a 1/4" stud on its rather small base. The panhead is very light duty. I bought mine for mounting a palm-size camcorder on a skater dolly but found the downward angle of the pan arm hit the base of the skate. So I had to add an additional support under the pan head. -- Warren Bass (author of Professional Results with Canon Vixia Camcorders)

It has a standard 1/4 20 top thread and the bottom is the same, where it mounts to the tripod legs. I had to purchase an adapter for my Bogen legs to go in between. The legs came with a 3/8 top screw, so I had to use a large, heavy striped adapter part in between to get it down to 1/4 20.

it has standard (1/4") i think screw that fits every camera with a tripod mount. By the way, this is a great little monopod for the money.

It should fit onto the tripod stud- an adapter is included. The diameter of the base of the ballhead and the diameter of the tripod mounting area may not be a match, but that usually does not affect the use of either.

Both ends of the slider have 1/4-20 and 3/8 screw holes. So you will mount it to the tripod or stand just as you would underneath.

This monopod has a 1/4" screw and most ball heads have a 3/8" thread. So you need a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter before you can use many of the common ballheads found on amazon or elsewhere 2x 1/4" Female to 3/8" Male Adapter for Tripod and Camera and Qr Plate/adapter Brass - This is what you need

The small Slik panhead uses the standard 1/4-20 UNC threads. The 3/8-16 thread is not normally found on most consumer camera gear, it is used with heavier pro photo equipment though.

It's 3/8" and comes with a 1/4" adapter insert if you wanted to mount it on top of another tripod or similar.

The number on the bottom of the mounting plate that I have is S6252. I would contact Slik about your part number for that mounting plate.

Yes - the 494RC2 will accept a 3/8"-16 threaded stud. You can also get a 1/4-20 to 3/8-16 adapter if you only have 1/4"-16 threads on your monopod or tripod. I use mine with Nikon D7000 and lens up to 200mm and it is an excellent ball head, small, light and compact.

I don't think it was a stupid question at all, Dennis, and I'm glad that you asked because it answered my question along the same lines. I've never used a tripod before, and everything that I've read makes it sound like the 1/4" socket is pretty much universal, but it's always best to ask before you order something online, find out that it won't work, and then have to worry about a return.

you can use any standard 1/4-20" screw for mounting. I must warn you that my camera no longer works and I used it only twice. The battery was shot...

The bottom thread is 1/4". Even my Manfrotto mono-pod only has a 3/8" mounting thread. This is no problem since the 3/8" to 1/4" adapters are all over the place, and cheap.

Hi Shaun,Merry Christmas! Can't say for sure, but tripod mounts (all I've ever seen) appear to be a standard size, and have been so for the 30+ years I've been into photography. So, my somewhat educated guess would be a fairly emphatic yes.Peace,Dan

It all depends, are you able to remove the mount from your current tripod? If so, you may just need the 1/4 to 3/8 adapter that the others mentioned.

It is intended for dslr camaras adaptable to 1/4" tripod screws. I wouldnt recomend it

If it has a 1/2 inch pipe thread, some bigger tripods may use a 3/4 inch pipe thread, but you can buy an adapter if you need it 3/4 to 1/2 inch pipe.

I neglected to tell you to make sure that the tripod you get has a 1/4 inch bolt to mount the camera to the tripod,Some of the larger/sturdier tripods use a 3/8 inch mounting bolt and that will not work for the normal tripod/camera arrangement/spotting scope.This scope is a 1/4 inch mounting hole.
