Vanguard tripod quick release for GH-100 ball head

thingiverse

I dabble in numerous photography types as a hobbyist, managing multiple cameras while owning just one excellent tripod. This necessitates a constant pursuit of tripod quick releases, prompting me to rather buy 1/4 inch quick-release screws on Amazon and design my own printable version. This fits the Vanguard GH-100 ball head. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Whatever works best for your printer Infill: 100% Notes: I printed mine in PLA at 100% infill, and it's remarkably sturdy. For safety's sake, I advise against printing it with less than 100% infill since it will hold a pricey camera. To avoid future repair costs, spare some extra money by spending a quarter on the print. If the clamp on the GH-100 ball head feels like it's pinching the quick release, try printing it slightly smaller (2-3% smaller). Post-Printing Tap the center hole out to match the quick-release screw. Not having the correct 1/4 inch tap for the screw, I employed a metric M6 tap at least to get started on the thread.
