Hi Vincent,
I ended up getting an adapter so that I could attach a Manfrotto quick release plate to the MFT and then use this to mount onto a Manfrotto tripod. It seems to be fairly sturdy and secure and I am going to do some experiments this week with an artwork on a wall and also on an easel. I'll let you know how this goes and share images of our set up at the end of the week.
The adapter I got is a 148KN , adapter small, 3/8 to 1/4
Thanks,
Noni

Subject: Use of Fotonowy MFT in vertical orientation
We have been tasked with examining the light sensitivity of an object hung on the wall, which entails setting up our Fotonowy MFT in a vertical orientation; this will be our first time doing this. While the manual briefly describes mounting the unit on a tripod using a 3/8-16 UNC screw, might any Fotonowy MFT users have experience or additional advice using the instrument in this manner? Thanks in advance!
