purchased a vinten tripod off of ebay however the screw that goes from the plate to the camera is too wide. What swidth screw should I be looking for?

Camera/ Tripod thread sizes.
There are 2 different size threads that are used on tripods and cameras. The larger one is 3/8-16 and the smaller one is 1/4-20.

Hi Scott(s).......
If you're missing the 1/4" screw, screw/ pin plate and VHS pin assembly, don't despair.
(It sounds like you have the twin 3/8 screws instead) E - mail: Peter.Harman@VitecGroup.com with a covering letter explaining the situation. Peter is the Product Manager for Vinten, UK and can sort you out. Let us know how you go. CS |
Canon also sells a tripod adapter plate, the TA-100, that has both 3/8" and 1/4" threaded sockets on the bottom. However, there are probably other adapter plates that would be cheaper. This one is a quick release plate.
Here's something else: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...20_Tripod.html |
Scott,
I also purchased a vinten a few months ago, that came with the 2 too wide screws. I looked at purchasing the VHS pin adapter, but found it too expensive for a screw+pin. What i did instead, i bought a few Manfrotto/Bogen 357 QR-adapter's, it was a lot cheaper then 1 vinten-plate and now i can switch my 2 camera's between all my devices (tripod, superclamp. glidetrack, time-laps-motormount, etc.) |
