I lost a screw!

[thefilmaddict]

I lost a screw on the belly of the EX1 where the tripod plate screws into (there are 4 little screws total - one is missing). It looks like a screw that would be used in a pair of glasses. Any idea how to get another one? This area of the EX1 could be built better!

You can try at different repairshops (radio, glasses, watches etc) or a hobby store (RC cars/planes etc)

I lost a screw on the LCD which made it all lose. I reccomend going over the camera with threadlock/locktite on the different screws to prevent it from happening again. The camera is especially prone to loosing screws if you use a 35mm adapter (because of vibration)

Look for a fixings shop, or even better, a model fixings shop.

This place is good if your in the UK. http://www.modelfixings.co.uk

You need to know the exact size to order it on Internet. Then you can try here:

Delivery will cost you 100x of the screw itself though!..

Good Luck!

I would try a eyeglass shop/ optrician, or a jewellry shop.

Also check a camera repair shop if you have one in your town.
