Tripod mounting bolt specifications and installation precautions for Panasonic DVX100
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Panasonic DVX100 uses a 1/4-20 inch tripod mounting bolt, which is standard for prosumer camcorders.
- The bolt should be inserted only 3 or 4 thread revolutions to avoid damaging internal components due to shallow clearance inside the camera body.
- Overtightening the tripod bolt can break the internal plastic threaded insert that holds the bolt, so moderate tightness is essential.
Depends on
- Information is specific to the Panasonic DVX100 model.
- The thread depth limitation is particular to this camera's internal design.
- No specific torque value provided.
