anywhere to get parts for Steadicam DV?

[markblasco]

I purchased a Steadicam DV which has a few broken parts. The screw which locks the top plate onto the steadicam is broken, and the screw which attaches the camera to the top plate is missing. Does anyone know where I would go to find these parts? I contacted Tiffen, but they said they don't have them, so I am at a loss as to where to go to even start looking.

Hi
You take some phots/copies of the equipment you need,
then print and bring your equipment together with photos
to a mechanic shop or a school where they educate maechanics...

Ask them to help you, and i'm sure they will..
it is best and cheapest...
I have made a shoulder rig that way, and it works,
seaarch the net, and you find a solution...

All the best

While I appreciate the suggestion, the parts I need are very thin long screws that are not something I could have made at a metal shop for any reasonable price. Anyone else have a suggestion?
