Replacing lost camera base plate mounting screw for Steadicam Flyer24 LE

16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The camera mounting screw on the Steadicam Flyer24 LE is a 1/4-20 screw specification, which is standard and widely available.
  • Button cap screws work as functional replacements for the original base plate mounting screw.
  • When matching a replacement screw, the key is determining the correct length through testing multiple options from a hardware store or supplier.

Depends on

  • The advice is based on experience with Steadicam Flyer and Pilot models, with some uncertainty about exact compatibility across the Flyer24 LE variant.
  • Original manufacturer replacement screws were not identified as readily available through standard channels at the time of the discussion.
