Tripod Adapter type B and Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 tripod

Nick

Can I order the type B tripod adapter with 25mm fitting from the NN online store? The 25mm fitting is currently not listed as an option.

Thank you

I just received a type B tripod adapter with 25mm fitting and need help on how to attach it to my Manfrotto 190CX3Pro tripod, type 1 pole and 60 degree pole rotator.

I have a NN3 mounted to the top of the pole with a QMM.

How do I attach the upper part of the adapter which has 3 smaller screws and 2 plastic pegs, to the tripod which has a 3/8" male screw.

I want to mount the pole rotator to the bottom of the pole.
How do I attach the lower part of the adapter which has a 3/8" treads to the pole rotator and pole.

It seems that I may be missing some adapters.

Thank you

I was confusing the upper and lower adapters. The adapter attached easily when I screw upper part at the top of the center column and the lower part around the bottom of the center column.

The 25mm fitting fits perfectly on the center column of my 190CXPRO3

Hi Martin,

The pole rotator is mounted to the tripod adapter via 2 M5 screws. Use a hex key supplied. Ignore the center black screw.

Enjoy the new toys.

BTW: I only level the first shot on a steady tripod similar to use of panoheads. Do not forget to add the leveler bubble to pole before sliding through the adapter.
