Tripod(s) for 3/8" Screw Sockets

[ariesdragon]

I'm on a quest for a tripod to fit my 1934 Leica having a 3/8" screw socket. Anyone know where to find such a tripod?

Is there such a thing as a tripod with quick release plates for different size screws ... i.e. 1/4" and 3/8"?

Thanks!

Why not just stick in a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter?

Cheers,

R.

Hi,

Yes, find a brass tripod bush adapter or a QR plate with a 3/8" bolt.

Thanks everyone!

I was honestly unaware those types of adapters existed.

Manfrotto has several heads that accept QR plates and the plates are available with either thread size.

For anyone else, Freestyle sells them for very little. it is on their web site.

A good local hardware store should sell these adapters...just found one at B&H...although right now they are out of stock...

Fedka is another source.

Buy more than one, as they're easily lost and shipping is usually more than the item itself.
