I want to know how the cam is held in place..is it a simple screw (Phillips head or straight edge?) or is it with washer and nut? Thanks.

cam slides back to the flat area and then is held on with the washer and nut

I purchased four of them. They are all secrued with a spring lock washer and a ny-lock nut. Looking at the picture, you can barely make out the hex nut on the back side.

Hello, your question: " how the cam is held in place..is it a simple screw (Phillips head or straight edge?) or is it with washer and nut? " The cam has a washer with a nut, once you install it the nut secures it in place. I hope that this response helps you on your decision. Regards !

It uses 2 screws and is held on securely. No movement. Do not use the template that is included. Use the hole to hole dimension on the box to pre drill the screws. The template was slightly off and caused me headaches.

I purchased these mounts recently and also seem to be experiencing the same issue. This type of nut is apparently called a nyloc. I can't seem to tighten the nut all the way, and therefore cannot really stabilize the mounts. Were you able to figure it out yet?

I had the same problem. I thought the screw was too long. But my husband figured it out. If you look at the washer very closely you will see that it is slightly "domed". Make sure to put the rounded or domed side facing up, followed by the nut. That worked for me.

i have a regular monitoring camera attached to it. since it is a little heavy, I used a couple of screws to hold it on the base (since it has just a plastic clamp) so I decided to do that for extra support. the camera is hooked to a TV thru RCA cables, so far the unit has worked fine, only negative aspect is that sometimes I wish it can move faster..

The mount is a female 1/4 x 20 thread in the bottom which is the same as the male mount on the top that you can see in the picture. This is a standard measurement so it would screw onto the top plate tension bolt if that is how you would attach a camera to the release. This is a quick and handy gizmo for lightweight cameras.

Phillips head screw driver. I removed the old screws from the mount and replaced them with half inch drywall screws. they dug deeper and are much easier to work with. The pull release can be put in any position just don't kink it.

There is a base plate that screws onto the bottom of the camera that is pretty secure. It is similar to the attachment you see on a scope or tripod. The connector between the base plate and the strap itself is metal and not plastic. I do make sure I keep the screw tight when I'm moving around a lots. I have not had any problems at all with it. It all works well with my shoulder harness for my binoculars as it fits over/under that harness nicely.

He buddy, honestly to me I had a hard time understanding how you asked this question, but if your talking about how to screw in your camera into the camcaddie I can help, the answer is yes, your camcaddie will come with a mounting knob wich will screw into your handy cams tripod mount

I thought it was disposable and threw it away. Manfrotto doesn't list it as a replaceable part on their website. I've traveled overseas without mine and it h as held up. But if you're worried you can buy a 3/8-16 bolt or wing nut from the hardware store.

The camera attaches with a screw from beneath. It is a quarter inch 20 tpi screw.

i dont understand. There are no nits. Screws and washers are supposed to be together. The washers are locktights that keep the screws from coming undone

Love this item. There's an elastic band that maintains its closure. No strap for holding, you can use elastic band but may stress band to much eventually. 360 is wonderful and accounts for cam view.hope that helps. Hakee.

There are 4 small screw in one side. These camera are great and no one has ever suspected they are not "real". Onlyproblem I had was the screws do tend to strip very easy.

Two totally different styles of mount. Cam lock twists on/off, wedge mount slides on/off. I switched from cam lock to wedge. Heat the mount with a torch and it comes right off with pliers. Then glue the new mount on with the special adhesive sold in auto parts stores.

Yes, it appears to be a standard camera thread. Just don't wrench down on it too hard. It not too solid a piece of plastic. It's good enough for fun use, though.
