Sachtler Quick Release Adapter?

[rhett]

Hi guys, I'm wondering if Sacthler has a cheap adapter base that I can mount to my Glidecam for quick release? I know Bogen has one good and cheap, but since I now have a Sachtler head (DV 4 II) I need to replace the Bogen quick release adapter I have on my Glidecam.

I'd imagine this sucker would do the trick, but that seems pretty insane considering the Bogens go for $50.

Or, if I stuck with the Bogen quick release adapter I have on my Glidecam now, is there a step-up adapter or something that I could put my Sachtler base into? I'm just looking for a quick alternative that will let me jump from the tripod to the Glidecam without any extra steps. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The Manfrotto 357 is about $60 or so. It's a sliding plate though, so unless index it and remount in the same position you'll be rebalancing your Glidecam every time.

That's the adapter I have now, I'm looking for a similar alternative with my Sachtler plate. Thanks.

You mean the plate that the quick release attaches to?

Because we have a DV6 and could find one to attach to our shoulder mount.

You can get one for just about any other tripod manufacturer, but not for Sachtler -- at least a eight months ago.
