has anyone been able to make this work with HDR-SR1? This sports pack comes with 3 mounting plates. Plate A appears to be the right size for Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder, but then the camcoder is so off-center, it won't fit inside the case.

my spk hcd came with about 6 plates and one of them although off center does work. my question to you is does your audio work? I've gone thru 2 units and neither pick up any sound.

Hi. I use the slider on a Sachtler tripod that is designed for biger video cameras. If you use it with a photography tripod, you would need to use two (one on each side). The problem there is that you'd have to drill holes for tripod plates on each end. The slider has a hole in the middle for a plate but I did have to drill an extra hole for it to work with my Sachtler plate. A little bit of work but I now use the slider all the time with a DSLR. The only other critique is that you have to keep it lubricated or it can stick a bit while sliding. I hope that helps.

Hi Joshua, The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera. Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work. Cheers Rene

wow...i've never used that brand of flash...here's what i can tell you...on all my Sony branded flashes, they work like a charm...i do have one Sigma flash (610 dg super something) that won't fire with any of my triggers (i also have a set of pixel pawn triggers)...i'd contact the people at Cowboystudio...they're pretty good about getting back to customers

On page 146 of my copy of the Image Mixer 3 SE Software Guide I found some information about writing back to the camcorder.It has to be AVCHD standard only and I guess you need to use Canon Image Mixer 3 SE to do the editing. There are other limitations in the guide.I have not tried this yet. I write my edited movies to AVCHD on DVD-R and play on PS3, Blu-Ray Player or computer.One thing I like is the on-camera "Playlist". Even without a computer you can select specific clips and then play them in sequence.Of course you can't trim an individual clip but you can tailor the presentation of clips to a specific audience and then change it again and again....No tape ! I love this Non-linear stuff !

I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition. It's extreme, definitely defeats the main feature of a small camera with a large sensor, the rear lens could be made finer, but the cost is low. Therefore, I mostly use this item:RainbowImaging LCD Pop-Up Screen Hood Cover for Sony E-Mount NEX-5 NEX-3 NEX-C3 CameraIt helps protect the LCD, folds and unfolds instantly, while retaining the camera's overall size, it fits in the camera case! I'd get both, oh wait, I did... I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition.

i originally had a sony DCR-SR 300C camcorder that was stolen from me. When I had this camcorder I purchased the VCT- 80AV remote control tripod. It one of the better products I ever purchased. It is a stable platform, also when you use your zoom this will improve your video by giving you a very consitent Zooming control, zoom on the camera can be very inconsistent at times. For paning the tripod is very smooth. You also have a button for still photos & your camera can also be turned on& off without having to touch the camera. Last year I purchased the new Sony model HDR-PJ760V, The tripod is also compatible with that camcorder. I hope this helps. i originally had a sony DCR-SR 300C camcorder that was stolen from me.

Hello Antonette. I guess you can but I am not so sure how safe will your camera be without being attach to the Manfrotto plate you know?. I have never used it that way. To be safe I would recommend you write to BlackRapid an e-mail and confirm with them how safe it is to use this FastenR alone without a plate ok?. Mine works perfectly with the Manfrotto PL200 plate. It is very flat and very very secure!!!. Good luck....Aaron...

I have this plate and the Ravelli AVT tripod also. However, I could use the MH621 on the tripod but couldn't use the Ravelli plates on the MH621. Anyone else have this issue and a fix?

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

Well, i bought the MH054M0-Q5 head because i already have another video head that uses the same plate, so that way, i can leave one plate on camera and another to the lens. But i recommend you to buy with the Quick Release to be more practical.

You do not need an additional piece you can attach your camera directly to the plate. You can use a quick release plate if you wish..........VideoGearDirect

Har I've got 3 or 4 of these plates and have had no problem using them on a d200,d700 & D800. On the other end I fit them to a 322 RC2 manfrotto head. I guess if you lost both the rubber gasket on the bottom of the camera and also the rubber (or something) piece on the top of the plate You could have a bottoming out problem. Comparing the amazon product with the plate that came with the Manfrotto head I can 't see much difference the screw protudes 5mm from the plates that I have and that seems to be sufficient. Heck fro the price difference if you did have a problem you could always grind a mm away.Thomas Ireton LaPaz Mexico Har I've got 3 or 4 of these plates and have had no problem using them on a d200,d700 & D800.

As the camcorder you mentioned has the multi interface shoe, this adapter is made for it. Please keep in mind that this is not a heavy duty item. I've had 2 of them snap in half under the weight of an LED light panel (with a larger sony FB battery...read heavy). I repaired and beefed up one of them which has made it much more durable. It is probably better that the mount snapped as opposed to ripping the shoe out of the small camera though. I use it regularly on a CX760v.

That I am not sure about, as it did fit perfectly into the new Sony camera purchased at the same time, maybe it means the size of the camera? But the slot is small in the camera. 1" wide sounds about right for the slot.I bought both at the same time before Christmas and everything works perfectly.

I have the same question. It looks like it has the standard hot shoe and not the Sony version.
