Thumbscrews

Recommended Posts

My advice to all camera flyers is to rely on more then the Dbox to keep your camera in place and on your helmet. I helped a friend pick up parts from his PC100 after the dbox opened and the camera fell out at the WFFC this year. The Dbox was one of the original boxes that were 2 piece with no area to use a thumbscrew. The connector buckle slipped off the webbing and the box opened and bye bye went the camera. So anyone that is using a setup with out screws or hard mounts might want to look into this before they have to spend time picking up parts from their camera.

Found the camera... not the tape or the battery. The battery can be found at the next rain when the LI reacts with the water... We filled a Gallon ziplock bag with all sort of parts from it. It impacted on tarmack (Good spot) and the choppers blew the parts around a bit.

Major parts missing include: Tape, Battery, lens, and parts of the case.

The thumbscrew is the one that goes through the bottom of the box and mounts on the tripod screwhole on the camera. I'd get 2 or 3 of them since they are easy things to lose.
