Are you happy with this mount and (if not) which device would you recommend for 1/4" to tripod mounting?

I bought 2 of different brands, this is the one I liked best. Good construction

This is a decent shoe mount. I use it to mount a microphone on my salt cage. Not sure what you plan to use it for but I wouldn't recommend this shoe for anything too heavy. Light weight use only.

This is the best one I have found and I bought several different ones. After I discovered this one I bought them for all my light stands. They have served me extremely well. The over sized knob really helps tighten down the strobes for added security. I have several SB 900s and they are not cheap.

This mount works well with my Nikon Speedlight SB-600 for off camera flash mounting. It holds my flash solidly on the tripod so I don't worry about it coming loose or falling off. Yes I would recommend this mount.

I am very happy with the mount and think it is the best that can be bought for the money.

I'm using a Manfrotto 808RC4 with this tripod, and it's a great combination. I like the Manfrotto MBAG90PN case too. It's a tight fit with the head on the tripod but it works fine ! It's all a great system !

Will it work? Yes. Is it secure and to be trusted with that much $$$ on it? Not for me. I had 3 of these before I went with a more sturdy and a more expensive option. You would do well to take heed of the negative reviews before buying this tripod. They are NOT made up stories! I saved some more money and then chose a separate BENRO top and bottom instead.

I personally would by a separate mount. This mount is not flexible, the the actual tripod for its price is great. FYI, my tripod already broke though, but again, you get what you pay for. I have kids, so if you take care of yours, it should be fine.

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

The screw mount is the standard 1/4 " #20 - that is used on all standard tripods - a no brainer. And the Makayama Mount works great for me. Allan

I have found it works well for me. I love it. I do recommend a tripod for stability, not as many blurred pictures due to shaky hands.

I don't have it with me, but I know I can stand up and it works great for me and it will lower to sitting level. It is very easy to work with and well built. That is the tripod... The Tabmount is awesome too.

Hi Nadia, I believe that all the mounting holes and threading are standard. The SL1 is not as heavy as the T3i which I own so stability shouldn't be an issue. However If you intend to upgrade to a larger DSLR soon, you may need a more durable tripod, especially if you are into serious photography. I would recommend that you contact the supplier and let them answer your queries. Please not that this tripod currently works well for me as my skill level is still amateur.

I have absolutely no problem. I use all Manfrotto tripods, monopods, heads, and QD plates, and they all work fine. You did not say if the thread was too small, too large, or not cut correctly. The standard is 3/8 and you may have a tripod with 1/4-20, if so you can buy a thread adapter at any camera store, or at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-088LBP-Adapter-4-Inch--8-Inch/dp/B001CZUSUE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1376920249&sr;=8-5&keywords;=tripod+3%2F8+to+1%2F4-20+adapter

Yes, it has a 1/4 inch mount, the same as on a camera. The unit is extremely light so tripod mounting is advised. I use a Cullman Clamp for desk mounting.

I use this and it's very helpful: Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey) Not perfect but definitely makes positioning easier. Also I recommend the extra stabilizer attachment they sell as an add-on. These can be used together.

As long as you have a 1/4" screw on your camera plate or when you remove your tripods head you can mount this properly.

It has a 1/4" fastener like on your tripod that holds it in place. It's the exact same process as mounting it to a tripod or base plate.

I'm using mine on a slik 504qf tripod and it seems to work fine. Keep in mind you will likely need a 1/4"20 to 3/4" adapter screw as the head doesn't come with one and has a 3/4" base. Depends what your tripod uses for mounting though. I'll admit that occasionally the tripod is a bit too light and you may have to lighten the dampening on your fluid had a tad for smooth pans. It's never stopped me getting a shot though.
