Will the slider plate fit the Ravelli AVTP tripod? I would like to attach a plate to a camera, and the quick release base to a glidecam and switch
2024053
I use the Ravelli tripod and the Manfrotto rapid release plate with my Canon T3i. Although there isn't much room between the camera and the tripod I was able to adjust the tightening screw on the quick release plate so it becomes lose enough to slide the camera on but tight enough to keep the camera in place. Hope this helps.

Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but since this is the adaptor and a standard Bogen/Manfrotto plate, as long as the Ravelli accepts a Manfrotto plate (which it looks like it does), then you can attach this adaptor to the Glidecam and swap the camera between both easily. One warning, but not that big of a deal in most circumstances: the lever that tightens the plate onto the adaptor is on the right hand side and may not be able to be spun more than a half turn when mounted depending on what you mount it to. I have a bunch of these on various tripods, monopods, sliders and Glidecams. My Vinten tripod has a very huge base, so I mount the adaptor to the Vinted plate (which converts it to a Bogen) and then release the tripod plate and pocket it. Then I can attach my DSLR to any other Bogen device or another adaptor. I guess it is a bit of a pain, but it's the cheapest way to use the same plate on everything. I wish they sold an extension for that lever to locate it further from the adaptor and clear obstacles.

I do not a Ravelli AVTP tripod however if the bolt that holds your head is 3/8", the Manfrotto 3443PL will fit. The base plate on the Manfrotto has both 1/4" and 3/8" inch insets to mount on most tripods. I have several of these mounts and use them on glidecams, cranes, jibs, sliders, etc.

Confirmed ! For the money , I wouldn't be upset if it didn't fit. As you probably know the Ravellii comes with two plates do swapping from different devices I'd s breeze. I recommend you get 2 or more especially if you have a few rigs .

I think the camera release plate is proprietary; it wouldn't work with a Slik release plate I have. The ball head comes with 1 camera release plate; I think additional ones go for $15-$20.

the slider has standard tripod mount threads at both ends and in the center underside of the rail. there are two standard thread sizes for tripods though, 1/4-20 and a larger (3/8"?). if your tripod threads do not match, you can get thread adapters, which are pretty cheap.i recommend two tripods if you are using a heavy dslr, or one large tripod with a wide base

Hello,I am not familiar with this tripod.Have you contacted the manufacterer? Also try the many knowledgeable photo stores in NYC. They seem to know everything. I am sorry I was not able to give you a specific answer.I had to use a Xacto knife to make mine fit. Frustrating and dangerous!

Any ordinary mounting plate can be used to mount and stabilize the slider on a tripod(s), as for the camera you will need some sort of fluid ball head to attach the camera to the slider!

You attach the bottom part to your glidecam and the sliding plate to your t2i and away you go...after the fun part balancing it all, of course.When I use this with a slider, I have the base on the tripod, the sliding plate on the bottom of the slider, the pan head on the slider, another one of these on the top of the pan head with the sliding plate on the bottom of the camera. That's where getting an extra sliding plate comes in handy. Then you can go from slider to glidecam quickly without having to screw around with mounting anything, only sliding your camera with the Manfrotto plate onto whatever you want to use in the moment.

No the plate would not fit the tripod but if you check the dimensions of the fluid head bowl on your tripod you may be able to get another fluid head to mount on your tripod that has the kind of quick release plates you may be looking for.

This will not work with all quick release tripods. I had bought a tripod from best buy(Sunpak - PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG 61" Tripod) and it didn't fit in the quick release So I bought a new head for it (http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-C2-AE-Universal-Quick-Release-Plate/dp/B00HLVZL78/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) and it works perfect!

No, the slider has a set screw which is compatible with most any tripod head. The photo depicts a camera and head mounted onto the slider.

Eileen the plate will fit any Camera because of the screw and the screw hole are universal. What you need to do is make sure the plate will fit your tripod. My tripod is a Bogan and it fits quite well. I am not sure if other tripods will accommodate that plate but I rather doubt it because the quick release has to do with being released from the tripod not from the camera

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.

Manfrotto 501PL plates fit perfectly. I don't know if it works with any others.

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.

The quick release plate on this tripod has two different screw sizes, so it is likely that one of those screws will fit your camcorder.

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

Quick Releases are very manufacturer and tripod model specific, so there is very little chance that this will fit your tripod. Sorry. . .
