If all the locating pins sit on top of the tripod's quick release

If you plan to take portraits with your Rollei, a Rolleinar 1 is a
must.
Does this camera of yours have a lens hood?
Although I recognize the weakness of the Rollei tripod socket
system, I have never bothered with a Rolleifix or any similar thing.
Most of the time, I have a tripod with a large plate on it which
properly supports the camera. In other instances, I just brace the
camera on a church pew, against a table, or against a wall.
Sometimes I just use a miniature tripod which is always strapped to
my camera accessory case and have never had a problem with
distorting the Rollei bottom.
I've actually been doing this only since 1954 so there is indeed a
chance that I will damage my camera some time in the future by not
having an adapter.
My conclusion, the Rolleifix is an accessory I chose to do without.
