I have a Jeva 44260 tripod made by Gemini. I need the quick release plate. Is there anywhere to get one?

Try a plate from another tripod. I have three different tripods, and the quick-release plates are all interchangeable.

can you swap parts with another tri pod

If it's a quick release tripod you need to remove the quick release plate (Usually a release lever to the side of the top of the tripod) and then fasten the plate securely to the camera and then the plate to the tripod. Older non-quick-release tripods have a knurled screw located below the flat area where the camera is attached. If the screw is missing, get a relacement from your local hardware store - 1/4" -20. (Find a way to keep the new one from getting lost.)

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com for that part. There is listed the widest selection of quick releases and support more brands than any other web site I’ve seen.

Quick release plates can be purchased on amazon, here: Amazon com Dynex tripod quick release plate. Take a look. Wish you ebst of luck.

What you can do is find a local welder or metal shop in your area. Take the tripod with you, and ask them to fabricate a aluminum or steel replacement "shoe" for your tripod. Also have them drill a hole in the center so you can later insert the proper threaded screw that will mount to your camera. You may want to take your camera and get the proper threaded bolt first before you get the shoe made, so they can make the hole the correct size. You can go to any hardware or home improvement store and ask for assistance to find the right thread for you camera equipment. The bolt should not be any longer than1 inch, so it will mount tight on your plate.

** Note you want a flush mount type bolt that when tightened on the plate is smooth on the bottom** This is so when you mount the shoe in the head, it will be properly seated.

They specialize in quick release plates, and I just ordered one for my Sony tripod.

http://www.tripodquickrelease.com/Jeva_Quick_Releases.htm has a listing for the 54inch tripod on the site

If you have not found the part for your tripod you are looking for, I have the whole assembly complete, still in the original box.$50 and it's yours.
