swoop2471 0 #1 August 28, 2008 Do you need to secure the still camera on top mount with more than just the screw in the tripod socket mount...? Getting ready to mount a Rebel XTI and would appreciate any helpful hints... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PharmerPhil 0 #2 August 28, 2008 A screw (1/4-20) is all most anyone uses. Usually it is the screw in the quick release plate. I do have a little bungee cord that goes over the lens as a (very) slight back-up in case the quick release lets go. But I wouldn't even bother with that if I didn't use a quick release.

davelepka 4 #3 August 28, 2008 I have used just a tripod screw for years. I would just make sure that you use a good sized washer inside the helmet (or under the mounting plate) to spread the load out over a bigger area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
