I bought a Slick tripod printed under a 3 pointed crown. This faces front & has a handle & I put this head on a Monopod. The rare part I lost
screws into the Bipod hole. Now the hole is 3/4"
across & 7/8" deep with a groove 3/4 of the way down. After the part is attached to the Camera you insert the slug into the hole & find the groove so the cam action insert that comes in from the side is rotated by a lever that tightens
the camera down onto the rough rubber pad.
Then the little lever snaps back & out of the way. This was the best head I ever had on a monopod & I lost it somewhere at a Wedding I shot
2 weeks ago. I need this part however I will buy
the whole Tripod if you want to sell the whole thing. If you know where I can find the part I
would be very grateful.
I have many camera bodies & lenses + leather cases. All things but Nikon that I use for my work.

Thanks Mike.

Mike,
Sounds like a standard Slik Quick Release Post, #618-752. If you can't find one at your local camera shop, I do have them available new. Please PM me and I can give you details.
Bill
