Is it possible to use this with a small tripod without removing the pin? My tripod doesn't have a quick release plate (direct screw on).

No. The Spider pin screws into the tripod mounting socket (see product photos). You have to remove the Spider pin in order to screw in the tripod's mounting pin, and vice versa. If you had a quick release plate, the pin would still have to be removed when attaching to a tripod. Remember, that pin sticks out from the bottom of the camera (or the quick release plate) at least an inch.

No you can not use this with a tripod without removing the pin. They do make a more expensive professional model that comes with an adaptor plate that allows you to leave the pin on and still use the camera with a tripod without having to remove the pin. You can look it up on spider holsters website.

Not with this version , I believe there is a pro metal version that might have a tripod socket

Spider makes a separate adapter plate that is available just so you CAN use the ball/pin system and a tri-pod.

Sure. I use a Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release on mine. Works like a charm. Still cannot believe the great price on such quality.

There is a female threaded connection point on the body that attaches to the "shoe" of a tripod. Simply remove the protective cap for the female threaded port.Most tripods use the same size connections for tripods, but there might be an oddball connection out there somewhere.

Joseph, yes there is a thread in the bottom of the knob. if you are thinking of tripod mounting using this threaded hole you could but I think I am going to attach a metal plate to the bottom of mine with the tripods head quick release plate and also form rubber feet to recess the quick release tripod plate.. ... as a camera holder this works well for lo angle shots etc here at our production unit. there are more elaborate systems for camera support... but of course the price escalates as the features increase. We have owned our unit for several months now. Ed#

Sure! Fasten the pan lock screw, then hold either the tilt or pan handle and turn anticlockwisely to remove the head. This is described in the instruction that comes with the tripod, and I have tried that.

The thread will fit in the camera base, but you may find that the threaded bolt is too long to tighten fully. It is designed to accommodate the thickness of a tripod plate. Tightening this without the tripod plate may damage the camera due to over penetration (not sure, but I would not like to test it on my camera).

I really don't know. I've never used a tripod so not sure whether or not if would attach. Sorry.

It will not mount directly to a tripod as it does not have 1/4" x20 taped holes on the bottom for a quick release plate to screw into. The bottom rail mount that is included does however, have two 1/4" x20 holes that I used to insert two smaller third-party nuts and bolts and put the quick release on that way. So, it is possible (and I use this cage on a day-to-day basis) just not out of the box. Side note - I have upgraded all of my 15mm rail components except this cage because I like it so much. (highly recommended)

Yes, this CAN be used with out a tripod head although it would be better to use a head for easier angles. (Almost a year later, lol)

YES you can. You can mount it on a Tripod. Unfortunately, I have a Steadicam system and since its base plate is not long enough.... I had customized a release base plate for it..... to hold it durably.

It is possible, there are many points where a 1/4 threaded tripod quick release could attach.Be careful that you have enough support with the tripod, however. You want to make sure it's balanced.Screw Placement:1 Central 1/4 adapter to attach directly to your camera1 1/4 Screw-In that can be mounted to the quick release (located behind first adapter)3 1/4 point's of attachment on each arm; allowing you to attach monitors, mic's, and other gear.

if you want to purchase a second quick release plate, it wouldnt hurt. other than that it should attach right to tripod.

It says it can be used with a tripod, but I could not see anyway I could attach it to mine.

No. The quick release is smaller on this tripod. You might be able to use a Manfrotto head.

Manfrotto 323 RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter with 200PL-14 Quick Release...I would but a couple if these. I haven't found the plate alone but this ate will work with your all head and then you will have another quick release base to put on another tripod or monopod or stand. These quick release plates changed my life!!!

Use one of the 1/4" threaded holes in the bottom of the cage to mount to a quick release and to your tripod.

I used mine with a telescope and I had to use a longer plate, I believe you would need a longer release plate too. The head attaches to the tripod with the standard 3/8" screw. 1/4" screws are used to attach the plates to the camera.
