De-lurking......

I found this post very interesting - just picked up a used
digital camera, and I have two point and shoot 35's.

Jerry:

In your post you mention a 1/4" 20 threaded bolt (US coarse
threads)....

I tryed that first w/ the digital camera - bolt turned in to the
socket about 1 thread - then bound. So then I tryed
a 6mm x 1.0 bolt. Same thing - turned in about 1 thread.

The tripod socket on the digital looks to be plastic. Any
one have a camera that has metal? ie brass? What
worked?
