I recently just lost the screw and washer that you screw your camera into your glidecam with.. Whats the best way to replace them?

Just head down to the hardware store. It's standard washers and a standard sized screw. I want to say it is a 1/4 inch screw for a t2i, but I'm not positive.

If you want to have fun when you are down there, go check out the lamp section. You can find replacements for the screws that are used to balance and attach the top plate (brass thumb screws) and they will be cheap and great to have around for glidecam emergencies.

its a 1/4" 20 screw, im not exactly sure what the glidecam base looks like but it might be useful to have a wing nut to so you can tighten it down. total should be less than $1 its not worth calling glidecam about it
