Hard mounting a Zephyr camera support to a Garfield mount

14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The socket block for a Zephyr is smaller than the standard size.
  • Spare Zephyr socket blocks can be purchased from Tiffen or borrowed from a vest as a temporary solution.
  • The screw hole pattern on Zephyr socket blocks matches the standard pattern, allowing any Garfield mount with standard holes to accept it.

Depends on

  • Discussion from 2012, may not reflect current product availability.
  • No details provided on exact specifications or compatibility variations.
