Avenger F301 Baby Wall Plate (Chrome-Plated)

If you remove the knob you could use it as a junior pin.

This question cannot be answered without knowing the direction of the load and the orientation of the base to which the load is applied. Oriented where the contained rod is vertical and in compression, failure would occur in the rod. Oriented where the rod is vertical and in tension would result in the failure at the set screw where the rod is attached to the base where the rod is steel or in the rod if it is aluminum.Oriented where the rod is horizontal would result in a bent rod long before this base would fail if it is firmly attached to a wall. I think the screws holding the base would fail before the base. This base is steel and is not likely to fail.This base accepts a 16mm rod. I think even a steel rod would bend before this base would bend or a weld would break.This base accepts a 16mm rod.

I believe it depends on the capacity of the tripod. The F301 is a very sturdy and solid wall plate to place something on. As far as the load capacity you have to check the manufacturer specifications.
