Camera Tripod Adapter Kit

We now have camera tripod adapters available for those of you who want to convert a camera tripod into a launch pad! (You provide your own tripod)

Our camera tripod adapter let's you make a launch pad out of your camera tripod. Accepts 1/8" through 1/4" launch rods. Rods are held firmly in place with TWIN 1/4-20 thumb screws. The twin thumb screw design enables the adapter to hold the three most commonly used launch rod sizes equally well. Made from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum.

$37.99 includes free priority mail shipping. Part # CTA

Camera tripod adapters have a 1/4-20 tapped hole in the bottom for attachment to your camera tripod's camera mounting bolt. You can use the stock bolt that comes with the tripod, which is usually threaded 1/4-20, but that little nub of a bolt is awfully short (designed to hold a camera only). We recommend that you run down to your favorite hardware store and buy a slightly longer 1/4-20 bolt for a more positive attachment. The hole in the
bottom of the adapter is 5/8" deep for this purpose. Note: On the tripod I have, the bolt is held in place with a c-clip and is easily removed. The bolts on other tripods may attach differently. If your tripod's bolt isn't threaded 1/4-20, we can thread the hole to match your bolt. I have done them with a 3/8-16 tapped hole a couple of times.

Our camera tripod adapter can also be purchased as a kit which include one of our 7 X 7 inch blast deflectors from our FLP-32 launch pads along with one of our RP-1 rocket perches. So you'll have everything you need for the conversion.

$64.99 includes free priority mail shipping. Part # CTA-KIT

The adapter attaches to the camera mounting bolt and holds 1/8" through 1/4" launch rods equally well.
