Magnus offers a spare or replacement quick-release
plate for the VT-4000 tripod head. Having a quick-
release plate attached to the camera’s base at all
times allows you to attach or remove the camera
from the tripod without having to waste time
fumbling with the threaded mount. Your VT-4000
Tripod includes one quick-release plate, but you may
want to have spares for other cameras. The Magnus
VT-QRP400 has a 1/4˝-20 mounting stud and a
retractable register pin for correct camera positioning.
The anti-skid mounting surface stabilizes the camera.
