Re: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

Ken, Thank you for this suggestion. I think that might be a reasonable solution for my needs. So, basically, it is an Arca-Swiss clamp that can be bolted to the desired Bogen/Manfrotto QR (RC5 in my case). In you case you have an extra aluminum block, but I wonder if it can be avoided. In

Re: PESO - Lizard(s), passed on?

It is surprising that lizards can survive your winter conditions at all yet obviously some do. Many reptiles are able to survive very cold conditions by hibernating. Even here, where it doesn't get very cold, the lizards & snakes tend to be quite sluggish on cooler mornings. I would say those

Re: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

Igor, I have a Kirk adaptor that mounts an Arca Swiss receiver onto a Bogen plate for my 'mini gear head. It's simply an aluminum 'block that bolts to an Arca Swiss receiver that then is clipped onto the Bogen head like the Bogen plate. Kenneth Waller

Cotty, Very cool! Is something like this available (yet) in the U.S.? If not, what sort of work/expense would be needed to provide it? My employers are always looking for a new "game" to get into. Respectfully, Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska On Sat, Apr 8, 2017 at 1:19 PM, Steve Cottrell

Re: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

It's this one: http://www.bogentripodparts.com/parts/head3433-01.htm The alternative I've been considering is to replace the top plate (part "B" on this page, aka R501,05), the 3rd image down, right after the QR) with an Arca-Swiss clamp. Note the scale: this plate is about 3.5"x3.5". Igor

Re: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

I'm not familiar with that head but I was able to replace a Manfroto QR plate on one of my ball heads. It was retained with a substantial socket head screw, so I merely removed the screw and installed an Arca QR plate. Paul via phone > On Apr 10, 2017, at 9:38 PM, Igor PDML-StR

Re: Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

Well, while I see what you mean (operator's error), - but the idea is to minimize the inventory and the complexity. I would like to be able to switch quickly between the tripod (for taking a video) and a monopod (for stills) at a kids' sport event. I already have a sturdy (video) tripod with

It's easy to swap the QR plates. I would worry about clamping one into the other. You're doubling the chance of failure. Paul via phone > On Apr 10, 2017, at 7:07 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > > I wonder if there are any "adapters" that would have the bottom as a QR plate

Perhaps they were pottering along in the warm sunshine but were caught out by a sudden cold snap and are simply frozen waiting to be warmed up again. That would be appropriate for Easter. Only a herpetologist or a theologian would know. B > On 10 Apr 2017, at 23:01, Toralf Lund

Adapters from other QR's to Arca Swiss?

I wonder if there are any "adapters" that would have the bottom as a QR plate for one of the Manfrotto heads, and on top would be a clamp accepting Arca Swiss plates? I am particularly interested in RC5 but I am curious if these type of beasts exist at all. Note, I am not looking for

Hi, There seems to have been a number of "what is this" PESOs lately, and I think I'll post one, too, as I came across something strange and perhaps a bit sad today. Here I go: http://se.toralf.net/post/159427976638/firfisle Not the best of pictures, but the point is to ask if anyone have
