adam_friedberg Posted October 7, 2000 Share Posted October 7, 2000 the contact between my rail clamp and tripod head is not enough to stop the camera from twisting, especiallywhen pointed down. the top of the head is metal, the bottomof the clamp leatherette. even with a quick release i thinkthe top of the head is not grippy enough. any suggestions?i am thinking of a thin rubber gasket of some sort. -adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_clark4 Posted October 7, 2000 Share Posted October 7, 2000 Hi Adam, I think I had a similar problem with a cork to steel surface, and a guy told me to wipe a thin film of dish washing soap on the cork and let it dry. This improved the grip for me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh2 Posted October 8, 2000 Share Posted October 8, 2000 I just bought a new quick realease plate for my bogen and they changed the cork and replaced it with rubber.I don`t know if that will solve your problem.-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_andrews Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 If cosmetic appearance isn't too important to you, I suggest cutting a washer out of carborundum or glass-paper, and using double sided tape to stick it over the leatherette, rough side up, of course. This should give you all the grip you need, without the sloppines of a sheet of rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
