[pinhole-discussion] Re: Full-Vue and tripod socket
If you trot on down to the local hardware store, and ask for 1/4-20 nuts, they can be super- glued onto any thing you make, and voila , you have a tripod socket for about 20 -25 cents apiece Yes, that is how I adapted the Full-Vue that I had. I like a flat bottom surface on my cameras, so I counterset the nut in square of ABS plastic. Worked great, but I've found other equally inexpensive cameras for conversion to pinhole use that already have tripod mounts. The major drawback of the Full-Vue for me was that time exposure requires you to hold down the shutter release during exposure and instant exposure is a single speed. Tom I took a 2" x 2" piece of 3/8" pine I had lying around, drilled a 3/8" hole through it, pressed in a 1/4-20 T-Nut into the hole and epoxied the whole thing to the bottom of the Full-View. The advantage of doing it this way is you end up with a nice flat base for your tripod head to mount up against. -t

Comes in many lengths and widths. Small sizes and pre-sanded all sides. Pretty cheap. It is a hard wood and will hold up well. Drill the hole and hamer in the T-nut. I've built many pinhole cameras with this technique. ___ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/
