Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. screw length?

A: The Tilta 8mm M4 Thumbscrew for Select Tilta Rigs measures 8mm.

Q: 2. do these have the screwdriver slot so you can tighten it harder?

A: No screwdriver slot. I don't need it. Hand tighten is enough. The knob has cross-hatch scoring on it to get a good grip. If you need more try pliers and a cloth to protect the finish on the knob.

Q: 3. Are there any red underwater filters that will fit this boot/adapter?

A: Not that we are aware of, no.

Q: 4. We can replace 3/8 with a 1/4, but is it included or does it have to be purchased separately?

A: The CAMVATE Cheese Handgrip with 3/8"-16 Mounting Screw has a reversible to 1/4' mounting screw.

Q: 5. can the ball head be removed?

A: while it appears that the ball head can be removed the manufacturer does not recommend it

Q: 6. what is the diameter of the section above the grip but below the screw section?

A: The rod of the CAMVATE Hand Grip with 1/4"-20 Thread for DSLR, Monitor, or Video Light has a diameter of 15mm.

Q: 7. Can the Go pro mount be removed so you can use it to mount other brand cameras using the base screw? Thanks!

A: Yes. If you remove the blue piece, which is also sold separately as B&H # FOQRMOUNTBL, then you'll find a standard 1/4 -20 thread. Unlike the Manfrotto Nano Clamp it's nicely padded where it clamps onto your handlebar. One word of caution, if this is for a bicycle and if you're at all concerned about the weight of your bike then this is NOT the mount for you. It is surprisingly heavy, but seems very durable and well-made.

Q: 8. Overall length?

A: 5.7874 inches or 147mm

Q: 9. Parts for the GoTough Wedge?

A: In the accessory section, there are additional parts that enhance the Wedges use and 3 or 5 inch handles can be found on the website for replacement. If an essential piece is missing the best thing is to contact the manufacturer.

Q: 10. does it fit the Hero 4?

A: Yes, BUT I found it to fit a little snug if you're using the frame to mount your gopro. When I used the frame, it squeezed it a little too much to the point that the button pass-throughs did not function properly. Would be the same with either the gopro 3/3+, most likely. But if you're using one of the plastic enclosure housings, should be fine for any gopro.

[0.4 oz (11.3 g)] We own several GoPro cameras and this will certainly come in handy! It is lightweight and easy to store and use. 5

[0.4 oz (11.3 g)] This is a great adventure in handy to have in my bag so if I do you want to put my GoPro on my mono pod or tripod I have it available. I don't use it much but it is a great tool to have. 5

[0.4 oz (11.3 g)] I feel that GoPro should have included this Longer Thumbscrew with the GoPro Hero 9/10 media Mod but it's not, so I'm REALLY happy that FotodioX stepped up to the plate and hit a Grandslam with this Long Thumbscrew that I feel is a must-have for those of us using the media mod. 5

[0.04 lb] This thing is awesome. Build quality is great. I am going to replace all of my GoPro arms with these. 5

David	25/07/2024
[0.04 lb] This thumbscrew is longer than the original screws. It extends past the GoPro media mod case and is therefor much easier to tighten when mounting. 5

[2 x 0.5 x 0.5"] Looking to put your gopro on a tripod, this little adapter is the way to go, made from aluminum, solid and due to it's color, easy to find. 5

[2 x 0.5 x 0.5"] Well made quality mount quite suitable for use on an underwater bracket 5

Mark	29/05/2024
[2 x 0.5 x 0.5"] This little guy works as advertised, but as some have mentioned, it is so strong, that the plastic screw which comes with a GoPro adapter isn't strong enough to torque down. Solution? Go to the hardware store and get a stainless steel allen head machine screw and an allen wrench. That is all you need and then this thing is bombproof. There's a reason why you bought an aluminum vs plastic adapter, you wanted something strong. Well this is it and that's all you need to do to make it rock solid. The added benefit is it helps to be smaller and less noticeable than the plastic handle sticking out, important for 360 shots. 5

[0.04 lb] If like me you use a media mod on GoPro you know the original thumb screws are too fiddly to use. This beauty just works. Extends past the edge of the case and is Aluminium rather than plastic! A great find at B&H! Very happy! 5
