1/4" UNC photo threaded pin with internal hexagon socket 1"

1/4" UNC photo set screw with hex socket 1", small part, big impact

Sometimes an inconspicuous screw determines whether your setup wobbles or just sits perfectly. The 1/4" UNC photo set screw with hex socket in a length of 1" falls exactly into this category. It connects photo accessories reliably, cleanly and without much fuss, but with precisely the level of accuracy you really need in everyday use with camera, tripod and mounts.

Precise 1/4" UNC thread for photo and video equipment

The set screw is equipped with a standardized 1/4" UNC thread, which is virtually the standard in photography and video technology. You can use it for camera plates, quick-release adapters, mounts, rig components or other photo thread mounts that have a 1/4" UNC internal thread. Thanks to the right-hand thread, you screw it in the classic way clockwise – no surprises, no special thread, simply compatible with typical photo and video components.

Pin design for flush and stable connections

This is a set screw in pin form, i.e. without a head in the classic sense. This is particularly practical when you want a flush, flat connection, for example on camera plates or adapters where nothing should protrude. This way you can firmly connect components without a screw head getting in the way or catching on your bag. Especially with compact setups where every millimeter counts, this design really makes sense.

18-8 stainless steel for long-term use

The photo set screw is made from 18-8 stainless steel. In the photo sector this material is something like the long-distance runner: corrosion-resistant, robust and surprisingly insensitive in everyday use to moisture, fluctuating temperatures or frequent tightening and loosening. Whether you are shooting outside in drizzle, working in the studio or simply leaving the part permanently screwed into a plate, the screw is designed for durability and remains dimensionally stable so that your connections do not wear out.

1/8" hex socket, clean installation without fiddling

To tighten and loosen it you use a 1/8" hex key. The hex socket allows controlled, powerful tightening without damaging the surface of plates or accessories. Especially when space is tight or you are installing several screws in a rail or rig, this type of drive is significantly more pleasant than a classic screw head that bumps into something.

Important note: For this photo set screw you need an imperial 1/8" hex key. A metric hex key usually does not fit cleanly, can slip through and, in the worst case, damage the hex socket. It really is worth having the correct key on hand.

Ideal for photo thread applications and custom setups

The 1/4" UNC photo set screw with hex socket 1" is ideal when you are building your own mounts, upgrading plates or want to securely combine accessories. For example, you can use it to:

• permanently connect camera plates with quick-release adapters
• stably couple photo accessories with 1/4" UNC internal thread
• screw rigs, mounts or rails together cleanly and without play
• replace existing screws that are too short with a suitable pin solution

If you frequently rebuild or adjust your setup, such a set screw is almost like a small tool within your toolkit: unspectacular, but extremely helpful when things simply need to work.
