Linhof #3663 tripod head 1/4" screw needed
After many years of lusting for a Linhof #3663 tripod head I finally found a used one that I could afford.
Unfortunately it came with a 3/8" attaching screw, but all my cameras have the smaller 1/4" size. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks.

It's a very nice screw in spite of getting screwed.

Hey, $48.50 is dirt cheap. The U.S. Military would pay thousands of dollars for a screw like that!

We normally have them in stock. Just call to order one. 800 735-4373
BTW, there are now three new
linhof leveling heads.
The 003663 with a built-in Linhof Quickfix quick release
The same head with a built-in Arca/Novoflex quick release
The new 3-way geared leveling head is now also available with an Arca/Novoflex quick release.

Bob, thanks for answering.
Alan, I think that it IS the military price. :-)

HP doesn't have it in stock -- they said it would have to be ordered from Europe.

The standard tripod screw is 1/4"-20. Common as hens' eggs. Any DIY store stocks many different types and sizes.
Buy one of suitable style and dimensions, and a thick 1/4" washer to go between it and the tripod head.
It won't have the retaining ring, so you'll need to put it in a ziplock bag when no camera is attached,
but you can buy lots of ziplock bags for $50.

If it were only that easy. It isn't!
