I’m THINKING about upgrading my ancient tripod for use with my Nikon Zfc camera with the Nikon FTZ adapter. Will the adapter/mounting plate on this tripod still work with my camera configuration? Or, will I need to attach the adapter/mounting plate directly to the FTZ lens adapter? Thanks in advance.
The SmallRig AD-01 Heavy-Duty Tripod with Fluid Head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw that would be compatible with the Nikon Zfc Mirrorless Camera. You would be able to mount the camera directly, and there would be no need or way to mount to the Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter.
