Will you be making a thicker base to accomodate tripod plates in you screw I would like to thank everyone who answered my question I am now going to place my order.

No-The e-clip is attached to the screw threads. If it does not come flush with the camera body, you can counter sink the clip on the grip. This will not affect the tripod plate attaching to the grip. The e-clip is to keep the screw from falling out of the grip.

I never attached any tripod yet. I think a regular tripod will work just grate, if you put a tripod base it may be not look well depending the tripod base. Other than that, grip is perfect and is always on my camera.

It's not the base that needs to be thicker, some of the screws did not have deep enough threading. If yours doesn't work contact JB - his service is very good. he sent me two replacement screws that work absolutely fine with a tripod plate. He said everything shipping now will have the compatible screws as well.

Mine already accommodates a standard tripod screw-in attachment. There might be some with longer screws that don't work, but it looks like it will handle normal ones. You can see the mount in this pic:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gJ2PaC07L._SX300_.jpgBTW, I consider this grip to be simply part of the camera. I never take it off.

I always attach a qr plate to the base without problem. It world be nice if they can make the base acra swiss style compatible.

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now.Hamish

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

Yes, just put the mounting plate on top of the tripod and then put this on top....that's how i set it up on my slider cam, love this product...

I just tried my manfrotto quick release plate and it didn't fit. The Barska plate's ridges are just a bit smaller.

Absolutely, and in fact, I have that head and have mounters it on the tripod. any standard 1/4" will work. I think it even comes with a conversion screw for 3/8",

Although I can't give a definitive 'no' as and answer, I'd say that it'd be extremelly difficult to find a quick release plate with the same dimensions as the one included here. I have other quick release plates (mostly Manfrotto) and unfortunately they don't fit on the Amazon Lightweight tripod.

Sorry I didn't read this question sooner, it fit both tripods that I have. It's pretty generic, however, the small screw fell off but the plate is still usable. Hope this helps.

Yes without a problem. I use many tripods with different plates and they all work. This is a great piece I use it everyday while shooting real estate video and photos outside in Florida.

Not 100% sure, but it should.Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an exact standard for the base sizes, but in this case the platform here is exactly what you'd expect it to be.We have two different tripods, for which we ordered two of these; it fit both perfectly.So I can't say for sure, but as long as your tripod isn't terribly different from most other popular tripods, you'll be fine with this platform.Good luck!

Not sure what you mean.The only three screw configuration I see on the tripod are the leg screws.If one of these is lost it looks like to me ant quarter inch short bolt and nut would do the job?

I had the same question. Will a standard Arca Swiss type plate fit this head. The previous person said that he has this tripod/head and it's 38mm. My system is all 38mm. Here are the plates that I buy for about $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310982101240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

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.

Not sure how thick it is I would use screws and a backer plate of wood But it's not a lot pressure on mine just my thoughts

No that will not help because the screws are threaded into the base not the plate. You could try loctite(threadlocker) on the screws or get longer screws and put a nut on from underneath. It looks likes there is room.

I believe the screw size is standard on tripods. I am not satisfied with this product and would not purchase it.

The plate already has a screw in it. Just attach it and you're ready to start shooting like a pro!

Not knowing what kind of tripod you have, I can't answer, but the Joby uses a fairly standard 1/4"x20 threads/inch screw. Get a 1/4"x20 nut from your hardware store and see if that will work with your tripod (or see if you can remove the tripod screw and use your own if it isn't 1/4x20). Hope this helps. Aaron
