Arca plate help

[MNDruggist]

I have an old Zeiss diascope that I would like to use with my new tripod. The tripod has a ball head with Arca mount. The plate that came with the tripod is not compatible. Can somebody give me a link to a good plate for the Zeiss? I’m searching the heck out of this and I’m guessing this might work.

Mine looks like it will need the pin. I’m not sure if the larger threaded hole in the spotter is 3/8”

It looks like you are just missing the 3/8 to 1/4" adapter/reducer in your spotter. Here is a link to what I'm referring to.

You just need this and any arca plate will work. I have a few at my desk. I'd be happy to pop one in the mail to you if it will help you. Just email me your address if you want one. [email protected]
