Cotton Carrier question on the mounting hardware

12 years 6 months ago #153260 by Jim Photo
I just bought one of these Cotton Carrier systems and just fitted the vest like system to me. I went to mount the bracket on camera and realized that I have to remove my base to go on tripod. What would be really nice is to have a bracket that will work with this, and still allow me to use my tripod.

CC has a new device designed to by used with certain quick release tripod heads. Check their vendor link below to 1) find out if they have your match, or 2) if they have one for yours in the works.
I have the same issue and will be a consideration when I get my next tripod.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I just checked the CC web site again and they now have a universal adapter plate for $39.

I'll be getting one for sure.

Thanks for the tip. Now looking at this I'm guessing my tripod mounting plate is just going on the back side of their plate? I'm thinking you will need to really make sure those are tight. :thumbsup:

Hi Jim,

I have the Cotton Carrier system myself, this weekend was technically my first chance to really put this thing to the test. As John pointed out Cotton Carrier has thought about everything you might need and so they do have a Quick Release Adapter Plate that you can keep on your camera at all times. When you want to use your camera on your Arca-Swiss like head, it's ready. When you want to go with the Cotton Carrier vest, you are ready.

Here's a brief mention I made about it over the weekend.
