Numb-nuts 1 Posted December 26, 2011 Have you ever been installing a Body Camera into a housing or onto a home made bracket and discovered you can't finf the mounting screw? Just so that you don't have to research this at some time in the future, the thread that almost all cameras use is ¼" UNC. This appears to be a universal standard across the photography and CCTV industries. I now have a box of ¼" UNC x ?" cap screws in my toolkit. I used cap screws because that was what was available, it could just as easily be set screws. At a pinch you could get away with Whitworth thread but you need to use caution when tightening Whitworth screws in a UNC thread. (It only works at this size) I hope this piece of seemingly insignificant information, will be of help to someone some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Layton 0 Posted December 26, 2011 Yes, the 1/4"-20 thread has been standard in photography for like 100 years now. It is for mounting cameras to a tripod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
