Will this fit a Manfrotto tripod? I plan on purchasing a Tamron 150-600 any idea of what size lens plate I will need?

Yes, it will work with a Manfrotto. I have mine mounted on a Manfrotto 055CXPro tripod. For the Tamron lens, a Wimberley P-20 plate (or equivalent) will work fine and give you room to adjust for balance.

I mounted it on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Aluminum Tripod with a Sigma 150-500mm. This works ok, but the head is a little stiff. I have only used it once so far, so it may loosen up after awhile.
1678087
Yes it will fit a Manfrotto tripod. I have one and it works with no problems. I use the Desmond DPC-140 lens plate which is 5.5 inches, attached to the Tamron 150-600mm lens.

Yes it will fit a Manfrotto tripod e.g. 190 or 055 series. Plate length is partially dependent on the weight of your camera. I would suggest 150mm (6 inches) to provide for a margin of error. That is what I use for a 500mm f4.5 and large camera with a grip and have no problems with attaining balance. You might be able to get by with something shorter but I would not recommend anything less than 100mm.

Yes I have used it with a Manfrotto tripod and my Tamron 200 to 500 lens on a canon 7d and it works great. It is cheaper than the wimberly heads at $600 so it does not work as well as those but is great for the price.

Yes, I have mine on a Manfrotto tripod. I can't tell you what size plate to get as I don't know anything about the Tamron lens. I would get on line and go to Tamrons or whom ever you plan to buy your plate from and see what they recommend. Good luck!

.....not sure, I'm using it with a prime Canon 200mm 2.8 L lens...with a Manfrotto QR plate, well built, great fit

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.

The mounting plate is 1/4 inch screw, 20 thread. One reviewer for the scope stated it could be mounted on either large or small tripods. Since most all tripods are either 1/4 or 3/8 inch, I am guessing it will fit. If the thread size is an issue, you can buy washers/nuts to fill the gap. They are only a few cents at Home Depot. I think I bought several for 8 and 11 cents each of varying sizes. You can also buy 3/8 inch adapters if your scope is not 1/4 inch mount.

I just checked, and yes, a Manfrotto QR plate adapter will fit on it just fine.

It will if the Tamron lens is a Nikon Mount version. If this lens is made for a full frame Nikon which the D60 is not, I believe, this lens is subject to the crop factor of 1.6, making it the 35mm equivalent of about 36 - 105mm, which means you have lost the wide angle effect but picked up on the distance effect.

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

This plate measures 2" by 1.5" by .5" ......However, I am not sure how useful that information will be to you...This plate is routed and angled to fit exactly on the tripod head referenced in the part number. If you try to use it on another, even if the dimensions are the same, it may not fit, and may cause your camera to disengage, resulting in damage. If you do not have a "Manfrotto 3157N QR Tripod Head", I would not recommend buying this plate...

I purchased this mounting plate for the MX1000 tripod. I suggest you contact the vendor for further clarification.

If I were you, I'd contact DSLRKIT with your question: 1) they would surely know the answer, 2) they would be the one responsible if you got incorrect information before ordering, and 3) they might be able to suggest another of their low-cost products if this one wont fit. I have this tripod mount and a 4-way macro mount both made by DSLRKIT. Both seem quite good (and inexpensive) so I'd be motivated to contact them through Amazon to see what's up.

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

It should work with all Tamron lenses but to be sure I would go to Tamron's website.

I have a Nikon D60 and this tripod works well with the larger lens. I think it will work well and is a good value quality tripod. Alan

It will fit but you should look at the Manfrotto Configurator http://configurator.manfrotto.com/manfrotto.html?a=b&matrix=9839 to make a good selection before purchasing.

sorry for the slow response.. I have it mounted on a 70-300 f4 - 5.6 "L" lens which is much different size wise then the one you are mentioning above. Best check with the folks that sell it to be certain or perhaps they have another that is made for the lens in question. As for the tripod ring itself, works very well for a fraction of the cost.

I'm pretty sure you can find out at Tamron's web site. They have models to fit most camera bodies.

Make sure the version you are considering to purchase says it has a "Nikon Mount." Tamron, Sigma, and several other third party manufacturers make lenses for multiple brands, the only difference being the mount plate.
