I am at a loss right now and I am wondering if anyone can help me. I am assuming it is user error, but I am stumped.
I use Arca swiss style plates on all my cameras. I like the Acratech plates so I use those most often. When I attach any Arca plate (I have tried multiple brands) the plate itself still spins on the camera despite the fact I can have tightened the plate as much as I can (not overly tight, just the normal tightness I use on all cameras. I am using a non-adapted screw for the connection. When I attach the camera directly to the tripod it is rock solid! It almost seems like the screw is a little too long for the connection, but I can tighten that screw tight, and the plate still moves a lot. Now I do not have a problem going headless, but I really like using a head!
Does anyone have any tips as to what I might be able to do? I do not want to tighten to much and cause damage, but beyond that I am not sure what to do! My other camera's do not have this issue at all.
I have even borrowed other heads, but it is obviously (I think) not a head issue it is a mounting plate issue. As I stated earlier I have tried multiple plates.
Thanks All for any advice you may have!
