Tripod Mounting
Is anyone using the camera directly onto a tripod without a plate?

Sure. I'm using the balance plate on my Bogen 510 head. Works great.

I ordered the plate just in case, but found the camera mounted nicely on my Bogen 501 Head. I sent the plate back.

You cab attach it to a regular 1/4 inch tripod plate or you can get the adapter. Either way is OK.

While the balance plate has worked just fine, I don't like the extra metal on the bottom of the camera. Also, when releasing the camera, it falls forward. I just got the tripod plate a couple of days ago, but now I have to wait for my camera to come back from JVC. |

I'm using the JVC adaptor plate. One thing that bothered me, The kit is essentially two parts, a little metal plate with two protruding rails and a standard SONY pro quick release tripod plate with JVC logo on it. Only the front part is used and the rear pin on the plate that supports big cameras is unused.
The camera fits on all our Sony quick release plates once this $5 part is installed with 4 small screws. It's nice to have a new quick release plate included but some of us don't need it for an extra $200 or so bucks. But it's way better that having to screw in a plate. Dave |

2, I'll may will buy the Formatt FM-500 if the adapter ring is OK for the stock lens. You said in other post the Cavision is too heavy. Also the Formatt is only $350 Laszlo |
