I bought a Slick 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.

Check here:

It sounds as if what you need is the 6121.

Thank you Matthew.

I went through the URL the problem is while
#618-752 looks somewhat like the German made
SLICK my quick R is a 1 piece metal that is
not listed. Well it's only been 2 weeks &
this is why we gather here. Can't find it
can;t fix it? your in the wrong place go to
Wally-World & buy a Digi. Not a chance I
am getting ready to build my first Darkroom.

So thanks again Matthew
Cheers Mike.

Is it possible the dimensions are the same, but the design has changed? I seem to recall also seeing an all-metal version of this one in the past, but if it's the right size it might still work.

If it's similar in design, but a different dimension, perhaps you can find a small machine shop that can make you something. It's not a very complicated part.

"perhaps you can find a small machine shop that can make you something. It's not a very complicated part."
Yes this seems like a good idea

Hope I got it right.
I have been with KY for many years just could not get back in.
