Regarding the platic mounting plate, does that have threads on it so you spin it up nice and tight to the key base, or does it slide up to it? TY.

The shaft is threaded, the front ring is also threaded, and there is a nut on the back, so it will tighten to various thicknesses of mounting surfaces, with or without the included metal mounting plate.

Yes, it will install tightly. The wire tabs are very robust and will provide a good connection. An excellent new or replacement install.

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.

Yes, it has one small Phillips head screw right at the base of where the key inserts into the fob. Took a picture to show it to you, but don't see any place to post it. This item has taken a beating and is holding up well. I would purchase it again.

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 byby 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.

I don't know about your mechanical ability.... I DO know it is NOT a newer 'keyhole' mount, except for one piece. But, for the $, ya can't go wrong...ron

It doesn't start to screw in or it doesn't screw in all the way? I've found you can screw it in until it is tight and THEN lock it in place with the nut on top. This means you should always get full contact with the tripod threads. Many things only screw part way into the mount before they get tight against the plate but that seems less secure than the way this works.

if it the same model I have there is a small plate you remove, the key actually has a magnet on it which removes the plate covering the keyhole.

yes, it mounts to what it sits on, four holes in the base bracket get screws or bolts thru to hold it down and keep the base still while you slide the board back and forth.

Ivan not to what others have said...if the plate size is the same it should slide right in, and be tightened by the side screw

There are NOT any threaded holes in the back of the ball. The anti rattle screw threads through the mount and just pushes against the ball. There's only one position where I had a problem. When I put the ball all the way to the top, the anti rattle screw just barely grazed the ball and it stripped out but it's not like you need that screw anyway. Great hitch though, would definitely recommend.

There is a screw that clamps the mounting bracket to the table. If you loosen that, you can slide the mounting bracket around. If you loosen the set screw that is on the back of the mounting bracket, you can slide the pole up and down, but loosening the set screw does not allow the hook to rotate in the mounting bracket. The hook itself is made out of a square length of wrought iron. I hope this helps.

It's easy to push in the button and then slide it up and down to where you want it. You don't even have to push the button in to slide it down as it's just a release so it can slide up. There is a lock built in to it so when you use the key it locks the button so you can't push in the button which keeps it from sliding up.

I ordered mine knowing it was a great deal on the box with a grid and the speedring. That being said, I had a pretty good feeling that the little "goose-neck" stand mount would prove inferior. Boy, was I right. I'll have to post a shot of what I did to mount it. Worked out beautifully in the end. I ended up using "U-bolts" from the hardware store and strapped them around the base to a big bolt flipped upside down. The rest went together no problem... the poles go in the pockets and then into the holes in the speed ring. The speed ring swivels; it snaps into place when you pull up the knob on the black ring. I'll post more later... saw your question and wanted to reply asap. Off to a shoot.... but if you try to support the whole thing with what it comes with, it is never going to happen in my opinion. There is FAR too much weight even before yo attach a flash.

the base plate is a 2" diameter circle. It attaches to a keystone-shaped mounting plate which is 3/4" wide by 1 3/8" tall. The set screw is located in the bottom of the base plate, driven by 2mm hex key.

The key supplied with unit does fit into the END of the main arm but to expose the socket you must raise the arm upwards. It may take a lot of turns to get the right tension.

(I'm a buyer who has a few of these) Its pre-drilled with standard sized holes. If you have both the plate and rod clamp you can just use machine screws to mount it.

The keyboard holder includes a fairly large mounting plate that is about 6 inches wide by 18 inches deep. It attaches to the underside of the desk with several screw. Easiest way to mount the plate is to lie on your back under the desk, mark the placement of the plate in pencil and then drill pilot holes. The plate needs to be mounted within 1 inch (approx) of the leading edge of the desk. The keyboard holder can then be adjusted to a variety of heights (e.g. below, even with or above the surface of the desk). I've found slightly below the desk to be the most comfortable. When not in sue the tray can be lowered and slid completely under the desk. Hope that helps.
