pjmaciw Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Will a HEQ5 mount fit on a NE6 tripod and can the HEQ5 be purchased without tripod.Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The shapes of the coupling parts are different so it wont fit and I've only seen them separate in the second hand market.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Steve's right... I have an HEQ5 and I bought an EQ6 tripod as an upgrade and it doesn't fit! CheersAnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmaciw Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply guys.Not the answer I was hoping for as I have just picked up an EQ6 tripod. Never mind ....... surprised there are no adapter plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 There is an adaptor available (I didn't say it was cheap though).Geoptik connexion flange to fit the HEQ5 mount on EQ6 tripod.Including the air bubble.http://www.geoptik.com/en/scheda-prodotto/mechanical-accessories/144/30a230/210/30a230.htmlJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bit pricey but it does look great though John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwalsh61 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Pity Synta can't standardise their tripod/mount head join so you wouldn't have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
