Specification of connecting thread between camera and tripod

The connection thread between camera and tripod adopts the standard of Wyeth thread (English thread), and its specific specifications are: thick thread, large diameter 1/4 inch, and pitch of 20 teeth/inch.

English 1/4-20 means 1 inch 2-point screw with 20 teeth. It's no use bringing a tripod. Take a camera with you. Don't twist it hard. If the specifications are wrong, you will break the line on the camera.

The screws on the tripod shaft are 1/4 and 3/8 respectively, and the screw hole at the bottom of the camera is 1/4. The screw connecting tripod and tripod head is 3/8.

Supplement: Tripods are all with screws, and the screw holes under digital cameras are universal.

The role of the camera tripod:

When people take pictures with digital cameras, they often ignore the importance of tripods. In fact, photos are often taken without tripod, such as star track shooting, running water shooting, night scene shooting, macro shooting and so on.

Whether amateur users or professional users, the role of tripod can not be ignored. Its main function is to stabilize the camera to achieve a certain photographic effect.

The most common method is to use a tripod for long exposure. If users want to take pictures at night or with surging trajectories, they need a longer exposure time. At this time, if the camera does not shake, they need the help of a tripod. Therefore, the primary factor in choosing a tripod is stability.
