Tripod for Ensign Camera

As I wrote in the previous post, Ensign Ful-Vue camera has no tripod screw, despite that its shutter has Time (B) setting. It’s not difficult to put a 1/4″ tripod screw = just fix a thick metal plate with 1/4″ screw hole to the camera bottom. —– ? – Then gave a thought. Virtually all of my cameras has been fitted with tripod quick plate. —— So, instead to put a 1/4″ screw plate, then attach a quick plate on it, why not to put a quick plate directly to the camera bottom.

And the quick plate doesn’t necessary to be a genuine heavy one = can be a simply bent aluminium plate. = why not. 😀

Photo left = 1.5 mm aluminium panel was cut and bent to the same size of Manfrotto quick plate = like photo middle. Then its aluminium quick plate was fixed to the Ensign camera.

With a homemade quick plate, the Ensign camera can be mounted to a tripod in such a convenience. (While costing almost nothing ! )

This is the beauty of DIY homemade. 😀
