This is the custom lower QR plate adapter for the Sony VCT-1170RM tripod head. It replaces the original fixed quick-release plate mount and allows any standard Manfrotto-style sliding quick-release plate to be installed.
The factory Sony QR system had no front-back adjustment. This adapter adds full sliding capability, making it much easier to achieve perfect camera balance — especially useful with modern mirrorless, DSLR, or heavier lens setups.
Printed in ASA for excellent strength and long-term durability. It mounts directly onto the tripod head in place of the original plate and works perfectly with the separate “Replacement QR Plate” (the upper sliding plate) from the same series.
Print recommendations
Material: ASA (recommended) or PETG
Print solid or with high infill (30–40 %) for maximum strength
No supports needed
0.2 mm layer height gives clean, strong results
This model is part of the complete Sony VCT-1170RM Replacement Series — all parts are designed to work together and turn the classic fluid-head tripod into a modern, well-balanced video platform again.
