Non-pivot quick release for Bogen head

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a good way to get a decent (i.e., non-pivoting)

quick release on a Bogen 3262QR head (that's the medium ballhead)?

Apparently Kirk makes some plates but many people don't seem to like

them (quality and servicewise) and Really Right Stuff apparently only

sells plates for Arca-Swiss heads, or you can get Arca-Swiss clamps.

 

Putting a screw through this Bogen QR (to fit on the accessory hole

of my P67) isn't an option as it isn't long enough. Any ideas ?

 

Thanks,

Marcelo

If you can remove the Bogen quick release then I'd replace it with an Arca-Swiss clamp and camera plate from Really Right Stuff. Their stuff is really nice and better than the Kirk plates I have.

 

Better yet ;-), give away the Bogen head and buy an Arca-Swiss ball head with clamp. Got one at Christmas and it is wonderful. The Really Right Stuff catalog recommends them as does Phil Greenspun and I'm not sorry I got the thing. It's not cheap but hey, this is medium format after all!

 

Good luck.
