Description:
This adapter allows the video tape to be removed from the HDR-HC1 and HVR-A1 series camcorders to remain attached to large tripod heads, such as the Bogen / Manfrotto 501, 503 and similarly large tripod heads, and any smaller tripod head where the pan arm or other part of the head may interfere with the operation of the smaller adapter.
The adapter is sturdy and light aluminum with a durable satin black powder coat.
The part weighs about 12oz or 340g.
Compatibility
This adapter should work with all tripods whose heads use the 1/4"-20 type mounting screw thread. This adapter also accomodates tripods and other components that have an alignment pin in front of the mount screw. If its mounting screw already fits the camera, then it should work with this adapter.
While this adapter is specifically designed for Sony's HDR-HC1 and HVR-A1, it will also work with many other bottom loading camcorders.
