Hi, does the base plate lock for the quick release work with other brands? I've a plate on my Nikon scope.

The base plate lock will only work with the appropriate Vanguard quick release plate (unless the other brand of base plate has exactly the same dimensions). You can go to the Vanguard website to find what quick release plate the PH-304 window mount uses.

If I understand your question correctly, the base plate on the PH-304 should work with any spotting scope. The pin and screw dimensions, threads and location on the plate are standard across manufacturers.

I would say no. Even the stock one get loose after a while and I need to do some modification to make it tight.

Yes. Bought this for my husband last year and it works with the standard baseplate for spotting scopes.

QR plates manufactured by Manfrotto, Gitzo and Bogen are generally not compatible with any arca-swiss type clamp, regardless of whether said clamp is made by Sunwayfoto, Kirk, Wimberly or Really right stuff. The geometries do not match and there may be manufacturer-specific locking mechanisms. Take a look at this explanation from the Wimberly Photo Gear Site: http://www.tripodhead.com/products/product-details2.cfm?product=Bogen-Manfrotto. This may be changing as Manfrotto, U.K. has recently released an arca-swiss compatible QR plate.

I'd have to try it out. I roll with the Giottos quick release, too. The Velbon plate is pretty narrow. The main considerations are the leveling bubbles on the Giottos. They hang lower than the rest of the base plate, making it difficult to mount it somewhere flat and wide.

Yes -and- No. No, you can't directly attach to a tripod quick release plate. BUT, I made a homemade quick release plate that will accept the attachment hub. Fairly easy with a jigsaw and dremel tool. Let me know if you are interested, I can email pictures and instructions. smfranz(at)netscape(dot)net

The body of the scope has a flat mounting plate along the bottom with a threaded hole that will work with any standard threaded connector common to most camera tripods. As a matter of fact I own a couple of these and was worried about exactly what you are asking... that I might have to buy some expensive tripod... no worries on that account. Once I found out that my old camera tripods would work with them I bought several more for myself and as presents.

The 2 units that I bought and use both had hard stops. That said, the quick release plates were different on the 2 units and are not interchangeable, so there are variations in the production. Those variations may include the hard stops. I have used both very heavily and have no complaints, but proceed with caution.

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

This is an L plate meaning you can position the camera either vertical or horizontal and have it held by the quick release clamp. I think the other would only be able to hold the camera horizontally. Also I am not sure but the release plate maybe set to fit most small camera this one is made to work with the NEX-6 or NEX-7

I am sorry, I do not know. I did put in tripod quick release plate on amazon a a bunch came up, not sure what would work though.

I slide the lock and slip the front of the base-plate into the hook on the front (the opposite side from where the slide is) then press the base-plate down on the back (close to the slide). It has to go in at an angle and then the back goes down and when you release the slide it should lock into place. Note the base-plate is the part with the screw that normally goes onto your camera. mine shipped to me together, if yours did not then maybe you do have bad fitting pieces.

i don't see a quick release plate in any of the pictures. everything looks like it is bolted and needs allan keys to take the plates off. am i missing something?

This is one area I found Black Rapid lacking in. I even emailed them before I purchased the product. The answer seems to be the only plate they say it works with is the a specific Manfrotto. The screw head is cheap enough you can always send it back if your quick release plate is not deep enough.

Works well for single stack mags regardless of base plate. Remember to remove the base plate it(the base plate) must secure to the magazine or else the mag is broken.

I'm using vanguard and velbon tripod. Both quick release fit this plate. So I believe manfrotto's quick release will fit.
