So - my 'new' Toyo VX125 was just delivered and it is an awesome piece of mechanical beauty, but I have one little problem: how to attach the camera to a tripod. There is something that looks like a quick release plate already mounted on the rail, but it does not fit arca-swiss style quick release, as it is larger (wider). At the same time - there is one one threaded attachment point (looks like 3/16").
According to manual (yes, I have an original one!) there is probably a dedicated quick-relase that fits the camera, but I have never seen one on internet, so I guess it is rare. On top of that I use quick release plates with other camera, so I would much prefer to use arca-swiss styled plate.
So - what would be the best way to attach a arca-swiss style quick release plate to Toyo VX125? It feels a bit dumb not to be able to mount the camera on a tripod .. :eek:
thanks.
EDIT: Correction, the thread (which is a screwed-in bushing) is probably more like 3/8" (just tried to measure it) - quite large in other words.
