Well, I received my first LF camera last week, a Cambo monorail. Of course, the tripod socket is 3/8 inch, my 40 year old tripod has a 1/4 inch thread. So I installed a 3/8 to 1/4 bushing in the tripod socket. The camera is held in place, does not seem to vibrate.
My concern is that the coupling to the tripod is solely due to this bushing. The weight is not so much of a problem, but somehow i think that the torque applied to the bushing might cause the threads to collapse.
Should I worry or not ?
