Ambico tripod I am missing my Ambico plate that attaches to the camera or video camera with the quick release.  I do  not want to by a new tripod when all I need is the plate that attaches to the cameras.  Does anyone sell this part

Have a look on Ebay, or try the rummage box at your local friendly camera dealer.

It could be one of two sizes found at this site: www.TripodQuickRelease.com

Take a look at www.tripodquickrelease.com or give us a call at (864)583-6835, we might be able to fix you up with a quick release. Ambico quick releases are generally hard to find, but we've found a few that will fit.

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com for that part. There is listed the widest selection of quick releases and support more brands than any other web site I've seen. Because your tripod is not supported by the manufacturer; parts lists and pars are not available, you should measure the opening and see what other brand quick releases will work paying attention to the shape and locking mechanism. Otherwise just get another tripod.

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com for that part. There is listed the widest selection of quick releases and support more brands than any other web site I've seen. .

If it's a quick release tripod you need to remove the quick release plate (Usually a release lever to the side of the top of the tripod) and then fasten the plate securely to the camera and then the plate to the tripod. Older non-quick-release tripods have a knurled screw located below the flat area where the camera is attached. If the screw is missing, get a relacement from your local hardware store - 1/4" -20. (Find a way to keep the new one from getting lost.)

You can purchase on amazon, take a look here: Ambico 54 Inch Tripod with Quick Release 0555. I hope this was helpful. Cheers

Hi misguy,

I´ve got the same problem. with google I found:

www.SpartanPhotoCenter.com

QS-14 Quick Release
for Ambico tripods and others using a square dovetail with a 41mm wide opening. It fits standard 35mm or video cameras.
1 2 3 4 5 Promaster 3502 QS-14 $ 12.99


Maybe, it solves your problem.

For me the price and especially shipping to Europe ist to much, so I´m keeping searching.

Yours Uwe
