Universal Tripod Adapter

This universal tripod adapter allows you to switch from metric to inch threads. Many photo tripods have 1/4" or 3/8" threads for connecting a camera head. Astronomical tripods, on the other hand, have metric threads, usually M6, M8, or M10, and often have a Nord-style spindle, which is always in the way when photographing nature. 

The universal tripod adapter "UnivTripAdap" has both threaded holes (3/8", 1/4", and M10) and countersunk holes (suitable for M6, M8, M10, 1/4", and 3/8"), so you can always select a rotating/non-rotating hole pair when adapting.

The most common adapters: 

• EQ3/EQ5/HEQ5 Tripod (M10) -- Photo Head (3/8") 
• EQ3/EQ5/HEQ5 Tripod (M10) -- Photo Head (1/4") 
• EQ3/EQ5/HEQ5 Tripod (M10) -- StarAdventurer Polar Wedge (3/8") 
• Lightweight Photo Tripod (1/4") -- Metric Accessories (M6 or M8) 
• Photo Tripod (3/8") -- iOptron Cube (M8) 
• Photo Tripod (3/8") -- EQ1 or EQ2 Head (M10, washer required) etc...
