No parts lists are available on line for this tripod.

Send in the measurements to [email protected], and then we may be able to find you one!

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.

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.)

Have you had any luck? I need one for the HS-644B model.

It sounds like the bolt is not theading into the camcorder nut far enough. don't go more than a 1/2 inch up into the nut however. You might need a longer shoe bolt.

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