I’ll give it a try and let you know. For that price it’s worth a gamble.
Thanks

Sounds really good! Do you think it will work on my tripod?

Thanks for all your help. Maybe Santa will bring my needs!

I understand that. However, it's a once in a lifetime purchase. Even if you change tripods, you can simply reattach the clamp to the new one.
At least I didn't recommend this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/629979-REG/Arca_Swiss_8501000_1_C1_Cube_Geared_Head.html

Bob,
Do I need to purchase a plate to complete the set up?

Thank you Bob for a very clear direction. The only neg is the cost of the Quick release. $150 seems a bit much.😩What to do?

Does the quarter inch screw come out of the clamp that attaches to the tripod? The tripod has a 1/4 inch male screw on it.

That what I thought it looked like.
You can add an A-S clamp where the camera normally would attach and put A-S plates on camera/lens.
Something like this will git you started:

You can get additional plates as needed.

Will the clamp and plates unit listed be all I need to get my camera on the tripod?

As I recall the Star D has a non removable pan head.
If that is the case you will need to get an Arca-Swiss clamp to put on the pan head.
Then you will need an A-S plate for your camera and/or lens.
Both can be found on Amazon.
A photo of the tripod head would help.

Where can I find a quick release that fits my Star D tripod?

Yes.
No suggestion? How can you criticize a product then?😄

Good luck. Its an all plastic head offering low stability. Its also a 3 way head so adjustments are very slow since you can only adjust one axis at a time. And its a proprietary quick release plate so you are stuck with that system alone.
But if it suits YOUR purpose then you are all set.

Then what do you suggest?

I just ordered a Manfrotto MH804-3W. It should meet my needs well.
Looks good! Do you have any experience in using this head? Thanks for info.
