Couescrazy33 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Was going through all my Jim white plates and accessories and still don't know what this is? the half plate goes into it but where does this attach and what's it for? Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted December 10, 2014 That is the tripod head with the handle missing which Amanda had in stock. Of course you have to mount it to the tripod via the screw on the top, you may have to remove the outside threaded portion, there are two common sizes for the threads.

Couescrazy33 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 I do not see a spot where the handle would thread into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted December 11, 2014 That hole right there in the front on your picture, it has that little cut across it. Unless I am looking at this all wrong? Isn't this the one you have: http://store.coueswhitetail.com/ball-tripod-head-with-handle/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couescrazy33 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 there is no ball or pivoting point. the hole is not threaded either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted December 11, 2014 I am at a loss... The bottom looks similar to the standard tripod head. May need the panning attachment. Maybe Amanda will take a look and chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted December 11, 2014 It isn't just an adapter to convert a window mount to the jim white plate system is it? I use something similar on my manfrotto set up. Is the bottom threaded? If so, it should screw onto ballheads to give a detachable plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couescrazy33 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Yes the bottom is threaded. and it may be that like you are saying. I have no idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bull Basin Report post Posted December 11, 2014 That is called a Jim White quick release. It allows you to standardize all your optics, it can be screwed onto any tripod head, window mount, shooting stick or walking stick so that you can use White plates on everything with out changing them to use different glassing platforms. They are primarily if you you have 2 different tripods or a window mount and you only use Jim White plates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
