Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Tripod legs to pair with this head?

A: anything that is heavy-duty (not lightweight) since this head is almost 2 lbs.

Q: 2. I just bought an Alpen spotting scope. It appears to have both a 1/4-20 threaded mount and a 2nd unthreaded hole. I'm guesing this is for an alignment pin to keep it from rotating when mounted. Does this head support this kind of mount?

A: Yes it will, but make sure you are using a sturdy set of legs. My husband has everything you mentioned.

Q: 3. Will an Arca Swiss type plate attach to the top of this? I specifically chose this mode because it doesn't have the proprietary Manfrotto QR plates.

A: Yes. I bought a Hejnar 3.25 Arca type plate. It fits perfectly on top. I had to go to a hardware store to pick up nuts and bolts to secure it down. The thumb nut that comes with the Manfrotto will thread in, but will not prevent twisting since it mates with one thread. You need at least two nuts&bolts to prevent the Arca clamp from twisting on the head.

Q: 4. Is the plate compatible with Arca Swiss? Or is it still Miller's original plate? I have everything with arca swiss...

A: The Miller Versa CXV8 Fluid Head with Pan Handle does not have a Arca Swiss compatibility. You can mount a Arca Swiss clamp to the Miller quick release plate.

Q: 5. is this Nitrotech different from the traditional fluid head? thanks

A: It's a slightly different engineering concept (nitrogen pistons) than a traditional fluid head, but functions the same way. :)

Q: 6. how do I attach and remove the 128RC from the tripod?

A: The Manfrotto 128RC connection to a tripod through a 3/8 connection. You can take this head off and on any tripod with such screw, such as B&H #MAMT290XTA3U.

Q: 7. Does this head really weigh 2.2 lbs?

A: I did not weigh the head, but the weight seems appropriate. It is an excellent head and works great to hold my Schwarovski spotting scope.

Q: 8. There is no mention in the specs as to the thread size when attaching to a tripod. Is it 3/8 ?

A: Yes

Q: 9. Does the 128RC head weigh 1.7 lbs?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 10. I have a 190XPROB Tripod currently and am wanting to know if the Nitrotech 608 will mount to my plate?

A: This head has a 3/8"-16 Thread which you will be able to attach to a flat base tripod like the 190XPROB. They are compatible.
