"Euro Plate" on Tripod Head and SmallRig Rod Clamp Compatibility

[Joseph Tese]

I'm sourcing some small rig parts for a shoulder rig / baseplate combo to attach to a tripod as well. The tripod is the Davis & Sanford ProElite, 5-15, actually advertised as having a "Euro Plate Style". I don't know if it actually matches the actual OConnor mounting thread distances on their plates. But it looks like it would.

The rod clamp I would need the tripod plate to fasten to is either:

Small Rig 1775

or

Small Rig 1798 (Which is just the 1775 but another plate on the bottom?)

I'm wondering if the plate on the d&s is too short length wise to meet the far ended mounting holes on either the 1775 or 1798. For safety, would you suggest another baseplate/piece to ensure compatibility?

I don't think you could attach a mini euro quick release plate to the bottom of either of these smallrig pieces. Something like 1674 might work better. It has mounting holes in the bottom that are closer together.
