Customer Reviews: Does what it is supposed to do. March 15, 2010 Mike From Mesa (Mesa, AZ) Fits both the 1/4 and 3/8 threads properly. When used the head fits the tripod well with no wiggle. That is what it is supposed to do and it does it well enough.
Does the trick December 11, 2009 E. Lacey (Shrewsbury, MA United States) This adapter is well built and works well. If you have a tripod with a 1/4in mount and you want to mount a head with a 3/8in receptacle, then this adapter is what you need. I was worried that the adapter might get stuck inside my camera's tripod mount, but is hasn't yet. Further, if it did, the adapter has a slot that you can fit a blade screwdriver into and turn it out again.
Note that you should make sure that your tripod can support a 3/8 head when using this adapter. That is, smaller tripods (which are more likely to have the 1/4in mount) can become less stable with inappropriately sized heads (and cameras) on them, so be careful.
I would have rated it 5-stars if it were 1-2 threads longer.
