First up, apologies if my directness has offended anyone. No offence was intended.
What I was trying to achieve was a cheap way of not having to swap over my Markins Q10 ball head from tripod to mount.
I mostly use my gear mounted on a Wimberley Sidekick and hoped that I could just over swap the camera mounted on the Sidekick.
Well the little ballhead just didn't cut the mustard. It not only drooped into the slot but also twisted longitudinally and this was with less that 4kgs, or about 9lbs, a hell of a lot less than the stated carrying capacity of 20klbs.
The ball head also twisted on the mounting plate although I think any ball head would.
So maybe a Gimbal type head with some way to stop it twisting on the mount plate.
Back to the drawing board.
Attached a pic of my set-up and also one of my multi coloured mount and tripod. I think it's growing on me.
