How does this slider install onto a tripod, Is it by a fixed quick release plate on the bottom of the slider or does it attach by 3/4" screw?

It attaches to a tripod just like a camera would. It has one threaded hole and another smooth hole, they are the same placement a camera does. Also use a real beefy tripod the weight shifts alot and can cause the tripod to flex when the camera slides towards the ends of the slider. I imagine no matter what slider you use you will need a solid tripod along with a solid tripod head. I guess if you were a DIY type of person you could unscrew the 2 screws on the underside of the slider and make your own for a more solid mount if one screw point doesn't fit your needs.

Not sure what you mean.The only three screw configuration I see on the tripod are the leg screws.If one of these is lost it looks like to me ant quarter inch short bolt and nut would do the job?

The base of the quick release has both a 3/8 and 1/4 hole to thread your equipment. I have this on a monopod that has a 3/8 screw. The quick release plate also has 1/4 and 3/8 screws to attach your camera.

On the bottom of the Honu Cage there is a 1/4-20" hole that you attach the tripods quick release plate to and then it goes onto the tripod.

i'm not sure if this addresses your question; but the threaded hole on the bottom of this device is identical to the threaded hole (for tripod, flash etc.) on a camera. so, you will be able to screw the removable plate-with-screw from your quick-release onto this device with no problem.

It just screws in to the quick release plate that comes standard with most every tripod

It has a 3/8" attachment. No, a 1/4" tripod will not work. This thing is really heavy and very stiff when moving panning. Very heavy duty...I like mine. Ben

There are three mount point on the bottom plate where you can attach a quick release plate for a tripod.

There are multiple mounting points on this. One in the middle of the slider (need a very heavy duty tripod to hold it here) and mounting points on each side of the slider. I use two tripods to hold this. One tripod on each side to keep it very steady.

It has a 1/4" fastener like on your tripod that holds it in place. It's the exact same process as mounting it to a tripod or base plate.

This plate attaches to the camera via the one center screw. The plate itself fits the tripod with NO screws, it is a wedge type base that when detached from the tripod stays attached to the camera. Its design is really fast to attach/detach to/from the tripod by sliding in a locking with a slide latch. The tripod name I use is Pro Albinar 9500. I got it at a thrift store for $5.00 it did not have the base.

No quick release plate, this is a very rudimentary support. Quite sturdy and simple in design, it uses a standard 1/4 inch / 20 thread tripod mount

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!

Hi. I use the slider on a Sachtler tripod that is designed for biger video cameras. If you use it with a photography tripod, you would need to use two (one on each side). The problem there is that you'd have to drill holes for tripod plates on each end. The slider has a hole in the middle for a plate but I did have to drill an extra hole for it to work with my Sachtler plate. A little bit of work but I now use the slider all the time with a DSLR. The only other critique is that you have to keep it lubricated or it can stick a bit while sliding. I hope that helps.

I own this slider. And, based on the knowledge I have of this product, I would have to say yes - this will mount to most any tripod. With standard mounting holes on the underside of the middle and at both ends, it makes it easy to mount to either a tripod (middle mount) or two stands (end mounts).

I attach it to my tripod face plate when I need it. With the loop on the strap, it's an easy release. If you use the screw that comes with the strap, that takes more time.

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
