Does what it do.

Does what it needs to do while being all metal, which helps with the load.

Plastic components but it does the job and is affordable.

question

Is the knob metal or plastic?
Asked by: Ben
Plastic. But everything else is metal. Never had a problem with it.

question

Can the 1/4-20 stud be removed? Is there a set screw holding it in place or have they used Lock-tight? I'd like to remove it and use a carriage bolt through a yoke into this adapter's 1/4-20 threads. Thanks!

Sorry, I haven't maybe well understood the question. Don't considerate my precedent answer

question

Is the silver nut pictured on the 1/4 20 stem removable? And is the top of the adapter fully flat underneath that? I'm looking to mount it under a slider. Thanks!
Asked by: Aidan B.
I don't have this anymore, but I recall the nut being removable and the top, flat;however, the knob might be to big and in its rotation may extend past the flat top- so if flush underneath a slider, the knob may be blocked- again I'm not 100% sure.
