Does anyone know if this will work with the spiked-feet type tripods? I have a Sachtler 75mm tripod that is spiked but has the rubber feet.

Yes if you tripod has the rubber feet that screw down to the bottom and are round, you should be all set...

si sirve porque el trípode que tengo tiene patas de goma y el Glide Gear Syl-960 viene con dos ganchos que sujeta la pata de goma del trípode

There are three screw clamps (one on each leg) that will tighten on each leg of the tripod. The stop on each end of the dolly legs is angled to capture the end of the tripod leg.As long as your rubber feet are solid and can fit in the screw clamp it should work fine.

I have a Ravelli tripod with spiked-feet and rubber footing. I did not have an issue with the tripod fitting in the Glide Gear. We did have to take the wheels apart and apply lubrication (not WD40) so the wheels would roll without sticking, but other than that no issues.

Send me 2 pictures of your tripod, 1 full body and one upclose of the bottom. I don't know what a spiked tripod is so I would have to see, I use glide gear and it works amazing. Would be best to just text me the pics if u want me to get back to u faster. 4019358135

I have a Sachtler pro tripod which has spikes (when i am not using the rubberized folding spreader that keeps the legs from slipping.) The spikes fit into the unit above the wheels and you tighten a large screw bolt to secure the foot.

I don't know if this will work on your tripod. I used it on a very heavy tripod that I had purchased to use with telescope binoculars. (now i use the tripod with a very lens heavy slr camera) I can't remember any trouble in swapping the heads; I would rather just purchase a different tripod; but this head simply threaded onto the tripod body without a problem.

No way to know how to answer your question. It has it's own spreader that spans the track. Any standard tripod will work, feet go into the spreader that comes with it.

I mounted a bridge camera using the supplied 1/4" adapter. That worked fine. But as some of the other questions have alluded to, the tripod is a little bit shaky. It is very light weight.

The tripod comes with a 5/8-11 thread. If your mating part comes with same thread size they should work together. I received my tripod crushed and with one leg broke off. Local box store sells item with all three legs and you can reuse box to store tripod in after use.

It uses the screw size found on most (common) tripod connector plates. I suspect it won't work on 'any' tripod but the garden variety you get off of amazon will be just fine.

You need a reasonably good tripod to support it. I have a Really Right Stuff replacement foot, RRS ballhead, and a Gitzo tripod. That's overkill, probably, but it does all work well. Anyway, do a google search for 'bythom tripod 101' for a nice, introductory writeup about getting tripod/support equipment.

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

I dont know. I bought it to use with the FT6694T Carbon Fiber Tripod Base legs Hight1630mm/64"Item # 120829364780 that I bought on Ebay. It works well with that tripod. You might compare the two and see if the one you are interested in has the features the one I bought has.

I've used this with two different tripods, not sure if they'd be considered regular sized but it worked for me with no issue at all. It is threaded to attach to the tripod's camera base.

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

Hi Shaun,Merry Christmas! Can't say for sure, but tripod mounts (all I've ever seen) appear to be a standard size, and have been so for the 30+ years I've been into photography. So, my somewhat educated guess would be a fairly emphatic yes.Peace,Dan

It should work with any tripod as I have used it on my other tripod without any problems.

I have no problem with the bracket shoe mount. I use two of them on 2 diffrent tripods and have no issues.

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

Hi, It should adapt to any 75mm bowl tripod, though as this is a fairly hefty unit, the tripod should be also. Mine is attached to a Takahashi FC telescope tripod via the Manfrotto 325N Video Head Adapter Bowl as a mount for using 70mm astronomical binoculars for star gazing. Very stable mount with smooth operation.
