I have lost the screw that locks the rotating plate on top of my Benbo Multi head tripod head and would appreciate if anyone can advise where I can obtain a replacement.
I have previously emailed the manufacturer but unfortunately to date have had no reply. Any help therefore much appreciated. Thanks |

Hope you've solved your problem, but if not and you're still looking, can you provide a photograph of the tripod and indicate the area where the screw is missing. I have 2 Benbos and a Uni-loc (same maker at one time) and might be able to find out what the thread is, if you can indicate where I should look. At the moment, your description isn't ringing any bells with me...

I assume the head in question was the four way unit with four locking screws/clamps on spring loaded clutches, cork pad on top in glossy black and red. - it was a bit expensive when new and must have been discontinued 20 years? Unfortunately its one of the most useful heads I have for macro use, so I can see your problem. I have checked my box of heads etc, but its fittings seemed petty well unique. I have never seen another one 'in the wild', so my guess is there were never many out there in the first place. Afraid thats not a lot of help, but if its a different model I will have another look.
I think that it predates the split that led to Uniloc. Last edited by iveljay : Saturday 7th January 2012 at 08:17. |

A bit like this?
The top and bottom clamps are not recessed like the middle two and there may be enough thread projecting to use a suitably threaded wingnut & washer, if you are still trying to sort out. Last edited by iveljay : Saturday 7th January 2012 at 11:18. |
