Will this work with the Opteka 650-1300mm telephoto lens or will I need a slonger relerase plate? Which would be the best recommended. Does it attach to a 1/4-20 screw on a tripod?

better check the weight capacity as per manufacturer's manual. It works well with my 200-400mm f4 Nikkor which is about 3.5kg. The best in class is Wimberly from my knowledge.. but too costly.

I couldn't tell you about the plate size for sure, but I would think a rather long one would help in the balancing when adjusting the zoom. It does use the standard tripod screw. No matter which head Ii use, Wimberly, Opteka, or my Manfrotto video head, they all use the same thread pitch and size, 3/8"- 16 to tripod. The short plate that comes with it has the 1/4"-20 thread for a camera.

Yes, it does attach to the 1/4-20 screw. I would go for a 90mm to 100mm release plate for that size lens .... maybe even a 115mm.

I am not sure but I would not recommend this gimbal head. I would and did get a Promaster Gimal Head and love it. I think it would work with that zoom. Same cost for the Promaster.

I used mine with a telescope and I had to use a longer plate, I believe you would need a longer release plate too. The head attaches to the tripod with the standard 3/8" screw. 1/4" screws are used to attach the plates to the camera.

I think a longer plate will be very helpful. The gimbal will fit any regular tripod screw.

No this will not work. The Opteka lens kit is 37mm thread. You would need to find an adapter for that...but you'd be better off looking for a 62mm kit.

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.

I am not sure about the specific item you want to use it for, but I use it for a Canon dslr T4i and it barely handles it. Once I use my telephoto lens it gets a little too heavy for the tripod. For the price it is great, but you will get a great, light duty tripod. I hope this helps.

I know that 1/4 thread is the standard size for most cameras, and yes this slider's plate has a screw of that same standard size. I know there is a larger size on some very large professional cameras, but in that case I imagine you could find an adapter. Also, I'll say that I think this is a super solid product. All metal, pretty heavy. Works with any camera up to 5 lbs in my opinion. Great for dslr for sure.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

Looks like this quick release plate will work with your tripod, it is a great value!

As I understand it, the extender will certainly fit but it's best work does not happen on a telephoto zoom. It'll be much more satisfactory on a prime lens.

Like James said, on the bottom is a 3/8-16(?...coarse thread for light stands and such) with an insert to convert it to 1/4-20. This is probably most useful on a monopod or a bogen superclamp, but it could work on a tripod, if you didn't have a head on it already. It's kind of small, so it might be challenging to adjust it between another head and a camera. I use mine for GoPros on superclamps.

I don't know the exact size of the screw but it is the same as the standard screw of any professional tripod. I believe you can mount it with any DLSR. I have a Nikon DSLR. Also, the mount screw works point and shoot cameras.

Not being familiar with this particular tripod I cannot answer this for the specific unit. However, if you measure the opening on the tripod you should be able to determine if it will work. I have a couple of Sunpak's tripods and was able to obtain the correct plate.

You will need a ¼ to 3/8 adapter and it will work just fine. 2 X Metal 1/4" to 3/8" Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod Ballhead DSLR SLR

It will work, but as others have said, it's a bit funky. I use it for telephoto lens, with a tripod I leave set up.

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

Yes, it should. Your camera has an E-mount (the part where the lens attaches to the camera). You will require an E-mount to T-ring adapter, so this piece can screw in. I think this piece is appropriate, but you should research it first. I also didn't look at prices, I just picked the first result that looked correct when searching "E-mount T-ring adapter".Opteka T-Mount Lens Adapter for Sony E-Mount NEX-3, NEX-C3, NEX-F3, NEX-5, NEX-5N, NEX-5R, NEX-6 & NEX-7, NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20 DSLR Cameras

Erika, if the lens diameter of your sl1000 is less than 72mm, this will work. HOWEVER, this is a one size adapter which attaches to the camera housing with set screws. The result is that while your telephoto focus will work normally, your wide angle setting will be hampered by the wall of the adapter, resulting in wide angle pictures that look like they are taken from inside a soup can, and are not wide angle anymore. I bought this kit because I wanted to mount lens filters, but I do not use it anymore.
