Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted November 2, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi, I am looking into making a weight plate at a local Machine shop in Brooklyn. I was wondering if anyone had some sort for ideal hole placements and measurements. Otherwise if you know a place where I can get one already made in NYC, that would work too.

Adam Tyler Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Where is a good place to get screws for weight plates and rail risers and cameras? I was at filmtools the other day and they didnt have anything 1/4-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Tom Wills Posted January 15, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 For camera screws in 1/4"x20 (like you would use to put a 1/4" threaded camera or quick release directly on a dovetail or a Sachtler or OConnor QR plate), I've found these to be decent quality and pretty cheap. Bought a ton of them a while back, along with their 3/8" counterparts. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/66748-REG/Miller_036_1_4_20_Screw.html For the rest of the screws, like screws to go through a weight plate and into a camera (or quick release plate, etc) or for building a cage out of 2 weight plates, just go to Home Depot, or, if you're feeling like getting good quality hardware, either an Ace or Tru Value, or order from McMaster-Carr (where you can get a box of bolts for the price of 4 in a bag at Home Depot).
