  How to mount a DSLR on a video tripod??

  Posted by Patrick Donegan on November 17, 2017 at 8:33 am

  Okkay, a few weeks ago I ran into a situation. A friend has a D-80 Canon and I told him not to bring his tripod,
  because I had a pretty good $1200 tripod. The Miller Solo.

  Well, embarrassed me, the expert, because I could not get the video alignment pin off the tripod plate,
  so it really did not work. Luckily I could get around half a turn and a slight angle … and okay.

  So, what do I not know about making this work?
  Is there some cheeseplate I need?
  Do I need a hacksaw?

  Please advise.
