Anybody has this ball head (ATH-A02) from Amvona know where I can get some extra quick release plates for it (or perhaps something compatible from another brand)? Thanks much!

I would suggest that you contact the place where the tripod was purchased or contact the manufacturer. I have never seen Amvona products in any true camera shop.

I believe a phone number can be found down in the lower right corner of the linked page, to the right of the "copyright" information.

One reason I often suggest Manfrotto products is that you can find spare parts and accessories in many places.

Looks like an Arca-Swiss type plate to me . . . One possible source is the Adorama Flashpoint plate (external link).

I have the same Amvona ballhead being used on my Amvona Dynatran AT858 Tripod, below is the link of the one I got.
I have not used it yet but when I compared them, they are exactly the same for $9.95.

This is the one with 60mm x 50mm x 9mm

Note: There is another size of 50mmx 50mm x 9mm, do not get that one, it's short on one end. the above one with 60mm x 50mm is the right size,
measure the one you have on your Tripod and you will see what I am talking about.

Let me know how it goes.. but I remember testing it with the ATH-02 head when I bought it. I just never take it out with the lens installed on it, that is what I meant by "I never used it"..

Hey LAD,

Let us all know when you get the plate and whether or not it fits correctly. I have Amvona's ATH-A03 head which uses the same plate (I believe) and I am in need of another plate as well. If yours works, I will order some too!

Update: I got the plates and they do work. Thanks again mufutau55.

They're not perfect however. They're a little long on the side. I think the 50x50 one might be a closer match, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, these work fine for me.

I measured the/my original one that came with the ATH-02 head and it's 60" you may try measure it yours and see.. I thought the 50" may be too small if the original one that came with the tripod is 60", I took out both the original and this new alternative and measured them to be exact measurement.. hence I got the 60". Next time I go to B&H, i will get the 50" copy and test that too, if it does not work, I can easily return it as I got to B&H store very often. Watchout for the update.

But all in all I am glad at least, you got a replacement.. Amvona wanted I think $29.95 or $39.95 plus $6.95 for each plates, if I could remmember that is why I also went with the alternatives.
