Tripod Adapters for all Poles (F7304V)

Type A: This tripod adapter works with tripods that have a 3/8” male thread on top and a 3/8” male or female thread at the bottom of the center column. This adapter is cheaper and supports all sizes of the center column. The adapter spreads the bending torque over the length of the center column, greatly reducing the torque at the tripod top disk, rotator and pole base. It works with Fanotec advanced rotators, pole rotator, and Fanotec poles.

Type B 32mm: 
This tripod adapter works with tripods that have a top disk with 3/8” thread, and a center column with a diameter of 32mm, 28mm, 26mm or 25mm. This adapter is more expensive and supports few sizes of the center column. Tripod with 25mm or 26mm center column is only recommended for application below 3m. For application above 3m, tripod with a 28mm center column or bigger is recommended. The adapter spreads the bending torque over the length of the center column, greatly reducing the torque at the tripod top disk, rotator and pole base. It works with Fanotec advanced rotators, pole rotator, and Fanotec poles.

Type B 37mm:
This tripod adapter works with rare tripods that have a top disk with 3/8” thread, and a center column with a diameter of 37. No other column sizes are supported. The adapter spreads the bending torque over the length of the center column, greatly reducing the torque at the tripod top disk, rotator and pole base. It works with Fanotec advanced rotators, pole rotator, and Fanotec poles.

Long Adapter: 
The longer adapter works with heavy duty tripod having a shoulder plate radius greater than 54mm / 2.1”. eg Manfrotto 058B tripod.

High-end tripods for photography are strong enough to support a 6m pole. Some people even attempt to install a rotator and pole directly onto the tripod. This is very dangerous. Rotators and tripod center columns are designed to withstand vertical loading with minimal bending torque. With a long pole, the torque is increased 15 times or more. This can cause damage, without noticeable warning, to the tripod center column top disk, rotator and pole base and to the gears on top of the pole. Damage to equipment and potential injury to people in the area should be avoided at all costs. As part of the pole systems, Fanotec has developed these low cost, lightweight and safe to use, tripod adapters for use with Fanotec rotators and poles.
