Additional Information
Compatibility with Tripod Mounts
This product is intended for most users of ANY tripod mounts. Once you have attached your tripod's quick release plate to our plate, you can switch easily between your tripod and your Cotton Carrier Camera Vest or Side Holster only using the NOT INCLUDED Camera Hub
The Cotton Carrier Camera System involves moving parts that must be maintained periodically. Install and, using the included Allen Key, tighten the Adapter Plate as TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE, as this is what keeps your camera securely attached to your Cotton Carrier. Check it until you are satisfied it is not loosening through the turning action of the camera.
As well as confirming the condition of both the Adapter Plate and Camera Receptacle for any signs of wear or damage, keep both the Lexan Camera Receptacle and Adapter Plate clean and free of any grit and debris, and clean it regularly as you would with any camera component.
With our new Adapter Plates, we now offer direct compatibility with the Arca Swiss-compatible, Manfrotto, Gitzo and other brands of quick release tripod systems with our Universal Adapter Plate (model #766NHP). Alternately, if you use an Arca Swiss style L-bracket, you may find our Slim Quick Release Clamp more convenient (model #733QRS). Or you can contact your tripod's manufacturer for their adapter clamp options. The Cotton Carrier Camera Hub will mount onto any quick release adapter or clamp that has a 1/4" threaded hole on the underside. Some products require (or include) a 1/4" to 3/8" threading bushing.
IMPORTANT:
Along with using an Allen Key and screw driver to secure your RRS Quick Release Clamp to the Cotton Carrier Hub, we strongly recommend you use a thread locker, such as LocTiteĈ 425 ONLY, as this is a fast curing, low strength adhesive for locking metal and plastics fasteners. If you have any spillage, it is advised to use an Acetone cleaner for any excess.
Although it should not be required with sufficient tightening of the camera hub that causes compression of the rubber washer, you may wish to use an added measure of security to keeping your camera hub on by using a NON-PERMANENT, PLASTIC SAFE Thread Locker (e.g. LocTite 425).
Other LocTiteĈ or similar products may not be suitable for use, and are not recommended.
Features

no other plates, clamps or adapters necessary
CAMERA HUB NOT INCLUDED
NOTE FOR VIDEO HEAD USERS*:
You will ALSO need our
733QRS Quick Release Clamp (with spacer)
to use with your tripod. We have determined that this is the best solution to allow you fast mounting to your tripod and to avoid having their long quick release plate mounted to our plate at a perpendicular angle (T-shape). In effect, you will then be able to leave your original video tripod plate (with our clamp attached) in place all the time and simply use our Universal Quick Release Plate to go back and forth to your Cotton Carrier. You'll appreciate the convenience and less bulk. If you wish to confirm compatibility before purchase, don't hesitate to email us your exact tripod model or drop us a line at 1-877-852-9423.
Our clamp costs $59, but if you wish for an already-integrated solution, Kirk makes this: http://www.kirkphoto.com/SQRC-501PL_Manfrotto_Quick_Release_Clamp.html# The photos there will give you a great idea of how our clamp would attached to your current video head plate.
*Examples would be the Manfrotto 501HDV, 503HDV, 701HDV, 519 heads; Gitzo G1380, G2180, G2380; most Sachtler & Vinten heads.
NOTE FOR MANFROTTO RCO USERS:
You will ALSO need our
733QRS Quick Release Clamp (with spacer)
to use with your tripod. We have determined that this is the best solution to allow you fast mounting to your tripod and to avoid having their rather cumbersome quick release plate mounted to our plate and blocking mounting to the Cotton Carrier. In effect, you will then be able to leave your original Manfrotto RC0 plate (with our clamp attached) in place all the time and simply use our Universal Quick Release Plate to go back and forth to your Cotton Carrier. You'll appreciate the convenience and less bulk. If you wish to confirm compatibility before purchase, don't hesitate to email us your exact tripod model or drop us a line at 1-877-852-9423.
