Hello,




do you know whether exist alternative plate for gitzo heads (GH1780QR) with possibility to bind a strap to it?




I just bought new gitzo tripod (and head) GT1530+GH1780QR. I would like to use a handstrap on my 40D as well. (something like http://www.camdapter.com/products.html ). Problem is to mount handstrap to middle size body (40D) without battery grip. A special plate/adapter is needed.

But, I do not want to have two plates mounted. One to attach handstrap and second to mount into tripod head.

(example of plate with "eye" to tie strap to but does not fit to gitzo head ))-: http://www.kirkphoto.com/...PZ120.jpg&Size=266&Ratio=1&AutoCrop=0 )




Thanks and have a nice day ((-:

Sorry for the lack of responses, but I am not aware of any product available for that function. You might try contacting Camdapter about getting a custom product made for you.
