Yes, it is supplied with two 3/8-inch and two 1/4-inch camera screws for easy installation with a variety of cameras.

Ensure the camera screws are tightened securely and the anti-rotation pins are engaged properly. Verify the plate is locked firmly onto the fluid head.

Confirm that the fluid head model is compatible with the 504PLONGR-1. Check the mounting mechanism on the fluid head for any obstructions.
