Sorry I can not help you with the camera mount screw, but I have the similar problem with one of the leg section rings. On my second use (the first use was in my house to try it out-the next day in the field) the ring seems stripped and the leg keeps collapsing Because it was an outdoor use in the sand, the company was not supportive of my report of damaged/inferior product.

If it's too late to return ithe tripod, the camera mount is universal and sold separately. The piece isn't expensive at all.

If I am right, you might need the quick release mount, amazon has it, for $9.00

Mine came with a screw that you put into the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. I'm not sure why they would suggest you get another one? I've had mine for about 6 months. Works great. I LOVE IT.

Don, It is a standard camera screw. I don't know the actual size but would guess it looks about that. It says camera tripod so it is in that standard. If it doesn't work out for you, you can always return it.

I don't know. You could check the orientation of the screw regarding the mount hole on the bottom of the camera

I have never tried this, but if you remove the top knob, there is a threaded screw which appears to be exactly like the one on my unipod for mounting the camera. So I would say, yes, with the knob removed you will find the mounting screw. But the unipod (for the camera) might still be a bit more stable. K. Shields

The fix is real easy. No need to take the camera apart. Order the Shutter Button Release Assembly from Sony. Cost was around $18.00 + tax + Shipping. I received the new assembly in one week. Note the angle of the old assembly before removing it so that you can line up the new one correctly. To remove the old button assembly, use a rubber bottle opener to get a good grip. Turn slightly counter clockwise. Then use your fingernail to lift it up. Look inside using a magnifing (sp) glass and find the pieces that broke off, a spring, a small plastic tip and a small snap ring. Look at the opening and you'll notice two slots, that's where the two little feet will line up. Again using the rubber bottle opener and pressing down slightly, turn the new assembly clockwise. You'll feel it. Make sure to clean out the pieces that broke off. I couldn't find the spring, now I can't use that little wheel to bring the viewfinder into focus for my eye. LCD is still sharp as are the pictures. Just the viewfinder. Good luck. June Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:50:55 +0000 Whoops: x21083252 Sony Direct Accessories

I have the same exact issue as Segev, my unit came with 4 long screws but not the ones you use to mount the Vesa 200 x 100. Anybody know which replacement screw to get yet?

Dont fit the screw? There are 2 diferent screw sizes maybe you need anadapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Convert-Adapter-Tripod-Monopod-Ballhead/dp/B00A2LYVT8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1392247790&sr=8-3&keywords=tripod+screw+adapter

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

The screw will fit, but I am not sure if the rubber gasket will get in the way of the screen closing. I highly doubt it, but it may be possible. Also look into tethering the joby strap to the strap loop of the camera with something like a shoe lace just in case the gasket comes loose and the screw comes undone when you least suspect it. After three days of all day use it slowly came undone because I was a fool and didn't check to see if it was screwed on tightly and my camera fell to the ground. Any strap that attaches to the tripod mount has a possibility of doing this. Great strap though.

Has anyone figured out how to contact the manufacturer? Ours came with a screw missing! The tripod cannot be brought to its full height without it...

The housing unscrews then you can mount the bracket and screw it back together. I can get more detailed if needed. I really like this camera.

My SD card plastic door broke as well :( I phoned zoom in the UK , went to repairs and got a replacement for 4.99 inc postage, bit pricey for a bit of plastic that was poorly designed in the first place but now it is like new, Also got a spare foam windshield for 9.99 as I lost the other one (think someone mistook it for rubbish on a short film shoot I was on grrr!) Here are the contact details for Zoom UK taken from the zoom site http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/contact/03.php (best to phone as when I checked zoomcorp.co.uk is just a holding page), hope this helps fellow H2 owners Zoom UK Tel: (44) 1462-791100 Fax: (44) 1462-791117 E-mail: info@zoomcorp.co.uk / enquiries@zoomcorp.co.uk

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now. Hamish

same exact thing happened to me! where the screw mount meets the shaft seperated and when removed you can see where the "glue" had shattered and failed.ive tried to contact them but nothing in return. let me know if you had any better luck.

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

I agree with the other answers you received. If Amazon is unwilling to replace your mount, just purchase another one. Save yourself the frustration. By the time you figure out how to correspond with the factory in China, you could have a new one. This, by the way, is where you will find your answer -- the factory in China. None of us users would even bother trying to get parts. We would just purchase a new unit. It's an excellent mount for a non-commercial user and worth twice the price they sell for at Amazon.
