Hello folks,?
I have a new mount with an old HD tripod, the non-folding kind.? It seems that the base diameter of the mount is about 2 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the tripod mounting surface.? So what happens when I go tighten the three mounting screws is:
The first screw goes in easily and firmly bottoms out
The second screw has a small range between when it starts to get tighter and when it bottoms out.? I can see that it moves the mount by a little bit.
The third screw takes a while to bottom out and becomes really tight as it starts to ovalize the tripod head.
And at the end of the day when I try to loosen the screws again, they are almost stuck because they are all under a lot of tension now.
Can I shim up this gap with washers or strips of aluminum somewhere?
