Screws & Nuts

Screws and nuts for your everyday photography

If you’ve ever tried to tighten a tripod head with a worn-out screw, you know how quickly a relaxed photo trip can turn into a fiddly hassle. That’s exactly where our screws and nuts come in. Stable, precisely fitting, and designed for tough everyday photographic use, not just for a desk test.

In this category you’ll find a carefully curated selection of screws and nuts for photography, outdoor, and hunting applications. We focus on robust materials, clean threads, and sizes that are genuinely relevant in photography, rather than some random mixed assortment.

1/4" and 3/8" photo threads for tripods and accessories

The classics in everyday photography are clearly the 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch UNC photo threads. Without them, practically nothing works in the studio, in the field, or on the road. With our mounting screws you can securely and play-free fasten cameras, tripod heads, quick-release plates, rails, and other accessories.

Whether you’re mounting a camera on a compact travel tripod or want to securely anchor a heavy telephoto setup on a massive head, you’ll find the right screws with 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch threads here. We pay attention to precisely manufactured threads so that you don’t feel a slight resistance every time you screw something in, but instead everything clicks into place cleanly and holds.

Mounting screws for camera, tripod, and accessories

Our mounting screws with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch photo threads are designed for daily use. Many models can be conveniently tightened by hand, others are intended for use with tools when you really want them to sit rock solid. This way you can choose exactly the variant that fits your setup.

Especially with frequent setup and teardown, for example at events, when traveling, or when changing locations in the field, a solid screw pays off. You don’t have to constantly readjust, the camera stays where it belongs, and you can focus on the framing instead of the thread.

Special screws for tripod plates from well-known manufacturers

Anyone working with high-quality tripod systems may know the problem. The plate is perfect, the head is perfect, but that one special screw is missing or has disappeared somewhere in the forest floor. In this category you’ll find special screws for tripod plates from manufacturers such as Really Right Stuff, Wimberley, and Kirk, which have long been established in the professional and advanced enthusiast segment.

Precisely fitting screws for Really Right Stuff, Wimberley, and Kirk

Our special screws are matched to typical tripod plates and quick-release systems from these brands. They ensure that the camera, lens, or rail sits firmly on the plate and doesn’t start to wander at the first movement. Especially with long focal lengths or heavy telephoto lenses, reliable fastening is crucial so that nothing tips or slowly sags.

So if you’re looking for a replacement screw for your RRS plate, need a suitable screw for a Wimberley rail, or want to make a Kirk tripod plate complete again, you’ll find it here. We know how frustrating it is when otherwise high-quality gear fails because of such a small part, and we’ve structured this category accordingly.

Threaded rods for fixed mounts in the field and outdoors

In addition to classic mounting screws, you’ll also find threaded rods for stable, more permanent installations. They are particularly popular for mounting tripod heads on hunting blinds, hides, or at fixed observation points where you work regularly.

With a suitable threaded rod, a tripod head can be mounted so that it sits securely on a permanent basis and still remains flexible enough to precisely align a camera or binoculars. This lets you set up your own fixed observation post without having to set up a complete tripod every time. Especially in changeable weather or in the dark, that’s a real advantage.

Mounting tripod heads on hunting blinds and in hides

For hunters, nature photographers, and anyone who spends a lot of time in the field, our threaded rods offer a practical solution. You can fasten tripod heads to railings, walls, or special brackets to create a stable base for a camera, spotting scope, or thermal imaging device. This reduces camera shake and makes longer observation sessions noticeably more relaxed.

Especially in hides, where space is often limited, a fixed mounting solution is more pleasant than a fully extended tripod that’s constantly in the way. With the right combination of threaded rod, nut, and tripod head, you get a compact yet very load-bearing unit that you’ll quickly find indispensable in everyday use.

Who our screws and nuts are intended for

Our screws and nuts category is aimed at everyone who doesn’t want to leave their photo and observation equipment to chance. Whether you’re an amateur photographer, work professionally, or are active in the hunting sector, stable connections are the basis for reliable results.

Here you’ll find components for classic photo tripods, for special heads, for quick-release systems, and for custom mounts indoors and outdoors. Many of our customers also combine the parts creatively, for example to build their own mounts in the car, on the balcony, or in a cabin. There is rarely just one right solution, but there is definitely better hardware for a clean implementation.

Why high-quality screws and nuts are worth it

Of course, you could grab some random screw from the odds-and-ends box. Sometimes that works. But especially with sensitive equipment such as cameras, lenses, and optics, a reliable, precisely fitting solution is worth it. A clean thread, the right length, and a head that suits the application make more of a difference in everyday use than you might think at first glance.

With the right screws and nuts, you reduce the risk of damage to your gear, avoid unnecessary retightening, and ensure that your equipment sits stable and secure. And in the end, that’s what it’s all about. You want to focus on subject, light, and moment, not on a wobbly connection between camera and tripod head.
