I inherited an MX 2000P tripod and want to use it with my Canon 5D Mark III. The plate I have from an older Canon camera is too large to fit the tripod head. What quick-release plate does the MX 2000P use, and is it worth buying a replacement plate for this tripod?

This is the plate that fits the tripod head if it says MX2000P (or MX2000) inside the head recess where the plate sits. enter image description here

But a replacement plate costs almost as much as the tripod is worth in used condition. I would not consider it worthwhile investment as it is a low quality tripod.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.

If the tripod head is marked "MX2000P" or "MX2000" inside the recess where the plate slides in, then you need the matching MX2000/MX2000P quick-release plate for that head.

That said, based on the community feedback, a replacement plate costs nearly as much as the tripod is worth used. Since the MX 2000P is considered a low-quality tripod, replacing the plate is generally not a worthwhile investment—especially for a heavier camera like a Canon 5D Mark III. In practical terms, you’d likely be better off putting that money toward a sturdier tripod or head with readily available plates.
