Bottom Line:

An assembly requiring iinsertion of a tiny clip in a difficult place should have been done by manufactur. I worked on it for one hour and could not get it done.
Won't fit 35mm or smaller cameras

Won't work on 35mm

Won't work on 35mm or smaller bodies, which have 1/4" female tripod screws.
Comes ONLY with 3/8" screw, rather than the 1/4" that works on 35mm or smaller bodies, despite description stating 1/4" twice.
Cannot replace this screw with the 1/4" screw from the 3175N because that screw is not long enough to reach the body through this plate.
