    typical when I wanted to do some shots with the tripod, it seems ive hopefully only misplaced the plate. I have moved house since I last used it, so hopefully its not gone for good.

    Its a Slik Pro 340DX if anyone knows of any links to spare parts.

    If I cant locate it will have to try and get a new one on Ebay or so......:(

    Without sounding obvious, try Slik itself... Spare parts like that must be available.

    I have seen some spare Tripod Plates at Gunns. Not sure what models they suited. For well known brands they are available.

    Gave away the spare one I had, which was from a cheap old tripod. Pretty sure the receiver [Tallon] had a different make/model and managed to squeeze it in somehow. If anyone has an old spare one lying around you might be able to make use of it.

    There are spare camera plates on this page:

    Don't know if they'll work with your tripod but they certainly are cheap

    Thanks everyone, when I came home today I spent another hour searching through boxes, drawers and presses, to no avail. I find it a bit mystifying...wil continue the search tomoro when I can, and if nothing turns up will have to try Slik or something.......:(

    Just thought of something, must check the car actually in daylight tomoro, the camera bag has been in the car on its side, and it may have just fallen out......:Dwishful thinking but you never know....

    Found it!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

    Yeahhhhh!!

    I started with the car, no luck and even went to hoover it out, til I remembered what I was looking for.

    Back to square one again and started where I began looking first place - there it was in a dormant camera bag (just hadn't looked in the back pocket of it......:o)

    All's well that ends well!!:D
