10 x 12 Vagreeswari tripod mount

[Simon Benton]

I have an old 10 x 12 Vagreeswari camera that I am in the process of restoring as a winter project. It has the circular revolving type mount but it is missing the tripod mounting screw block. Are there any ready made conversions available or is this something I will have to have custom made? Any information gratefully received!

Simon, send me an email with photos and the size of the mount.

Sorry, I did not find the mount itself ( will try later this week ) but the hole in the camera base is 17,5 cm. Is it as yours ?
Best wishes

The inner ring diameter is 208mm so unfortunately it will not fit. Thanks so much to Kumar and Iga for checking!

Found a local machinist who says he can make me an adapter for the tripod mount. Will see how it works out.

I have one camera with welded on adapter, not OE

The OE design reduced weight and used a special tripod without plate adapter

The 3 tripod legs packed flat and clipped in as needed

I recently bought 3 sets of 3 for a mystery camera

Looks like a good solution. Did you remove the old tripod circular mount and then attach the new one with the screws? How thick is the aluminum plate?
Thanks for the photos?

Yes, old mount been completely removed and then new one attached with the screws and epoxy.
