A screw connecting a camera stabilizer arm to the vest can break due to accidental impact or stress.
The manufacturer can supply replacement screws as original spare parts.
Replacement screws may have different material specifications and strength properties even if dimensions appear identical to the original.
After a failure event, the equipment should be inspected regularly for cracks or bending in the affected part and related components.
Equipment used for this type of work can remain functional for 20 years or longer with proper maintenance and inspection.

The cause was described as accidental rather than a design defect in this specific case.
No technical specification details were provided about the screw, such as material grade or load rating.
The exact failure mechanism was not determined beyond the impact event.
