About the plate: Do you need an extra tool or something like a quarter to tighten the bolt all the way when attaching the plate to a camera?

The plate has a little latch that folds into the plate for easy-ish removal. By that i mean its not better than having parts that all match together but its better than dealing with a plate that would need a quarter or something.

One of the nice things is you don't need anything to tighten the bolt on this plate, with my Manfrotto you have to tighten the bolt otherwise it can fall out when removing the plate.

It should attach, it's a standard screw in with a quick release. You can leave the plate attached to the camera which is very helpful.

the quick release plate has a one quarter inch by 20 thread per inch screw (standard) that allows placing the plate firmly to the camera base. doing so rennders rapid no fumble mount and dismount to tripod head. enjoy!

it is a pretty simple screw/unscrew. no tools needed. this is a great tripod if you are not in a hurry, takes a little bit to set up. i shoot a large nikon d800 with large lenses and the head takes some tightening. for smaller cameras this would not be an issue. I was happy with the purchase over all. light and packs small.

Standard 1/4 in tripod screw. Attach camera directly of via any plate you desire.

Yes, you need the bolt and the nut to secure the camera on the mount. Too bad it was not included, but a great little pole to use.

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

No idea as I shoot D800 Nikon. The plate is adjustable left and right underneath the camera. So shift it to the left to get more clearance. Use a tool to make sure the L-plate is reasonably snug by tightening the 1/4-20 screw. If the plate twists on the camera it is too loose. Don't tighten it so much it damages the camera. You might also check at cyberguys.com for a special USB cable with a special end to plug into the camera. You might find a 90 degree USB connector which would help. If you are willing to spend the money, buy a Really Right Stuff or Kirk L-bracket custom made for your camera. The price will be about 2x the Desmond cost. No idea as I shoot D800 Nikon.

I use a mounting plate so the camera and the microphone were both on a plate. They sell base plates and extender plates, etc., but I just used a steel strap (like they sell for attaching lumber), 1/4-20 bolts and 1/4-20 wingnuts. It just has to be thin and have 1/4" holes in it, whatever it is.

Hello Antonette. I guess you can but I am not so sure how safe will your camera be without being attach to the Manfrotto plate you know?. I have never used it that way. To be safe I would recommend you write to BlackRapid an e-mail and confirm with them how safe it is to use this FastenR alone without a plate ok?. Mine works perfectly with the Manfrotto PL200 plate. It is very flat and very very secure!!!. Good luck....Aaron...

The bottom has a hole where you can screw in a standard tripod screw, so you shouldn't have a problem using it with a quick release plate.

There is a bolt threaded for a standard camera mount. I have purchased an adapter to attach my tripod head because it has very limited use with the camera attached directly to the dolly.

Right at the bottom of the bracket there is a hole where it can be attached the quick release tripod plate. Also there is a set of hollow screws that come with the bracket that you can use for other setups. Screwdriver was included in my bracket

You have to screw it every time, no quick release plate comes with the tripod.

You should use a hex key. I was able to tighten it by hand but it would be more secure with the key. Alternatively, You can just use the normal screw that comes with the camera. Not sure why they felt the need to change it up here because I found that the screw works just fine.

This plate attaches to the camera via the one center screw. The plate itself fits the tripod with NO screws, it is a wedge type base that when detached from the tripod stays attached to the camera. Its design is really fast to attach/detach to/from the tripod by sliding in a locking with a slide latch. The tripod name I use is Pro Albinar 9500. I got it at a thrift store for $5.00 it did not have the base.
