brandonhamilton Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hey all! I just got my Stroboframe Pro-t, and my sc-17 anti twist plate, but no twist plate for the camera itself! Nowhere on stoboframe's website, NOR on BHphotovideo.com does it give a plate designed for the Nikon D100. So when I placed my order, I asked the sales guy at BH which one would be compatible, if any at all. He put me on hold to go ask somebody... came back 2 minutes later, and told me to purchase 300-NF4, the one designed for the F4. Well, the plate doesn't fit. It ALMOST fits, but doesn't. So now I have to spend more money, shipping this thing back. Load of crap!. Does anybody know WHICH model ACTUALLY fits the D100? Thanks all. Much appreciated.

frank uhlig Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Brandon, for the price of a Strobo anti twist this and that, you can just order a Stratos 835 (complete, sturdy, ergonomical, ... for $ 40 at B+H) and be done. Sorry about that purchase of yours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdlm Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Brandon: I use the Stroboframe 300 (NOT NF4). The 300 is described as general purpose anti-twist plate for "most SLR's" and works reasonably well with the D100. There is some slight play, but I haven't found it to be a problem. To my knowledge Stroboframe does not make a specific anti-twist plate for the D100. (The recommended plate for the N80 is the general purpose model 300).

brandonhamilton Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Thanks Ron... The one for the F4, the hole on the plate doesnt line up with the hole in the bottom of the camera, so it can't even be used a little bit... But for now, even using just the corkboard bottom, I can't even get it to twist anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhamilton Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Frank, The Stratos 835 is pale in comparison to the Pro-T. The pro-T is a pro level bracket good for shooting land or ports, with adjustable height etc.. They just sell the anti-twist seperate, becuase they are camera-specific. For now I don't think I need one. The anti-twist for the sc-17 however, is a must, which works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg_na Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I use a 35H anti-twist plate with my Press-T. It's designed for the F4 but also works well with the D100. I don't know the differences between the Pro-T and the Press-T so I'm not sure if it will work for you.<p> <img src="http://www.photo.net/photodb/image-display?photo_id=2080548&size=lg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank uhlig Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Brandon, do not give up: the Stratos 1035 or 1135 (can't remember) have an expandable post, are much cheaper than your misStrobo and still are better to hold, use, ... than any of those Strobo antitwist toys. Just explore B+H a bit or their own website and see for yourself. That these look simple by comparison with the Strobos is the function of their superb design. They are very functional and intuitive, no clipped fingers either in use ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhamilton Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 Frank.. thank you for your information, but perhaps you are new to using a messageboard/forum such as this? Everybody kind of likes to stick to topic. I am inquiring about the anti-twist plate for the D100. I have ALREADY BOUGHT my flash bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
