i stopped at cyclegadgets today, to grab some parts for my video camera mount
i picked up a ram ball with a camera screw to go into my sony, and a ram ball with a threaded stem to accept a 1/4 - 20 threaded screw $ 21
a 21 cent phillips head cap screw, 1/4 - 20 x 1/2 inch from the hardware store
and a 11 cent plastic washer so the camera doesnt touch the mount and rub
i drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the right res cover, run the screw through, threaded the ball on, with a little blue thread lock
the mount screws into the camera until nice and tight, the same mount also could be used for my cannon 35mm still camera
i had a 5 inch ram arm laying around
a lot cheaper than the $50 res cover with the ball attached
it looks just fine
