Sometime ago I posted on the issue of a screw plate bushes for creating a 1/4" mount onto different cameras, such that a standard tripod screw could be of use. I'm finding that the 1/4" screws tend to warp when turned into either mahoganite or wood, and come to rest at an angle, causing the camera to sit non-plane with the horizon. The weight of the camera is also an issue for the 1/4" screw. I wonder if anyone has built a 3/8" tripod plate/bush into a wooden camera before and if any fixture could be recommended.
