Manfrotto 679B: Can anyone give me a heads-up as to how the 3/8" - 1/4"-20 screw on the top should work?

It has one stud which is 3/8" in diameter. If you push down on just the outside of that stud, a 1/4" stud is exposed. The 1/4" stud is stationary, with a 3/8" spring-loaded retractable sleeve.

You can mount it on any. mine came ready to fit 2 thread sizes as there was a converter. It's very nice. I have mine on my Manfrotto and it works great.

I've gotten it to mount on an older tripod I had laying around. The little stand and the hotshoe provided in the package have the standard 1/4" screw socket that most cameras have as well. I've used it to screw it onto the little tripod platform attachment.

I don't have a Manfrotto but I have two and the Mrs has two, all on different mounts, it is easy to modify the mount if needed. They also sell a specific mount with it installed. All mine are Vice type mounts

The tripod bolt on top should just be able to screw right on to the middle ring. The only thing i can think of why its not fitting os the tripod screw is slightly big/small, or the screw or mount on the lens may have stripped threads.

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 mount is a female 1/4 x 20 thread in the bottom which is the same as the male mount on the top that you can see in the picture. This is a standard measurement so it would screw onto the top plate tension bolt if that is how you would attach a camera to the release. This is a quick and handy gizmo for lightweight cameras.

You would use 2 1/2 inch screws. Here is a handy chart for future reference. http://www.kregtool.com/files/newsletters/kregplus/Images/february12/selecting-the-correct-screw.pdf

The top unscrews from the base. Then mount the base making sure the wire is run the way you need it to go. Put camera ball back in and screw top back on. Adjust view and the finish tighting the top. Took me a while to figure it out too.

Hi SergeI am very happy with it but I am Sorry I do not know if it will work on the unit you're looking at. I would send an eMail to Manfrotto support and they will know for certain. Use their support page or contact us link on http://www.manfrotto.com

This is my first Tripod ball head purchase. Upon close inspection and trial I found a 3/16" allen screw. I attempted to loosen but it was securly attached and I did not want to attempt using brut force our placing the head in a vice. I have found this ball head to be quite adequate for my purposes. I have mounted a Canon 7D plus a 70-300mm Canon lens with a tripod collar. I hope this is some help for you.

mine was as stiff as a rock and I still haven't been able to loosen it up. You can replace the handle/base/knobs as I used parts from another tripod for preference, but idk if the manufac. offers them.

Its a standard 1/4"-20tpi screw you'd find in most tripods. Theres also a hole below the cage to mount a tripod plate into it.

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.

Not exactly sure what you are asking. The bottom mounts on a standard camera hot shoe, the top is a 1/4" 20tpi screw.

Like James said, on the bottom is a 3/8-16(?...coarse thread for light stands and such) with an insert to convert it to 1/4-20. This is probably most useful on a monopod or a bogen superclamp, but it could work on a tripod, if you didn't have a head on it already. It's kind of small, so it might be challenging to adjust it between another head and a camera. I use mine for GoPros on superclamps.

I just put it on my new manfotto tripod - it fits, but is hard to tighten the thumbscrew because the manfrotto base is large and this head is small. Not sure I am going to keep it. It tightens, but then my camera droops so maybe not tight enough or maybe the particular zoom lens I am using is too heavy.
