30D attachment to tripod

[Ken Hall]

I have a Canon 30D and Manfrotto 701RC2 head. The quick release plate on the tripod head does not fit the camera because of the anti-rotation pin getting in the way. Solution please?

Ken :h?:

Unscrew pin. Hi Ken.

Hi Henry,
I don't want to lose the security of the pin. I was hoping there was another type of plate available. Just needs to be a bit bigger.
cheers, Ken

Nope that's the only plate... removing the anit-rotational pin will probably be the only solution. The pin won't be any use with this set up any way as the camera doesn't have a second hole.

OK, thanks guys. I'll just have to be careful.

Hi there, the pin is not screwed and is just pushed out from the 'slot'side.If you try to screw or push it out with a screwdriver in the slot it will lock it in place, just push the whole pin. Talking from experience!
