I am attempting to mount a Calumet 401 to a 3 Legged Thing tripod (Winston 2.0 with Airhed Pro head).
The tripod head has an Arca-Swiss compatible release as shown below.
Who knows what the camera mount is. You can see it below.
The bolt fits fine but as you can see below, the plate itself is too small and doesn't contact the sides of the camera foot. The bolt is the only thing holding the camera to the plate and there's a good deal of wiggle. It's this gap in between that proves problematic.
I have a cheap plastic plate that's wide and long which gives good coverage over the camera foot. However, it's cheap plastic and it's a Peak compatible release which doesn't fit the tripod head.
Anyway, I'm looking for ideas about adapters or other kinds of plates I can use to combine these pieces of kit that are nearly 60 years apart from each other.
