Inch thread for standard tripod mount
Hello all,
I am seeking the right designation for a standard tripod-mount thread. I have two Olympus OM2 and want to mount them together to make stereoscopic pictures. But I did not found a single screw shop here in germany, where one could sell me a screw with an inch-thread. I found an online shop, but it seems that there are two different types of inch-threads: UNC and UNF. Does anyone know the right designation and size for such srew? Thanks, Didi |

Inch thread for standard tripod mount
A few years ago I bought them from Hama. It looks very odd to me that they
are not available anymore because almost every camera including modern digital ones have the same tripod screwmount. just take a look at a serious photo shop.

Which means 20 threads per inch on a 0.25-inch diameter screw. -- -Stephen H.
