a few months ago I wrote in about a problem I was having where my thread screw for tripod was cracked. I found a solution.
I cannot take credit for this as I worked with a guy out of little rock who had the same problem.

he took off the plastic cover on the bottom held on by five small screws, took that to a machine shop and had a new one milled from 1/4 inch aluminum plate. while he was at it he had the shop drill and tap bothe 1/4 and 3/8 holes for mounting all over the base plate. the base plate is attached via those five screws.

this works great. we have mounted the dvx100 to tanks, helicopters, humvees. ( they did the go army.com stuff. all the rough stuff was with the dvx100 all the rest was sony hd950).

I milled two. if anyone wants to buy my extra drop me a line.
 
That's a great idea since the tripod socket of the DVX is one of it's weak points. I've heard a number of reports of the tripod socket getting damaged. You might consider selling those plates as a product. (PM sent)
