Re: [OM] How to take proper product pics outside (WB?)

[JOHN DUGGAN]

Olaf,
        give me a day or two...I am sure I have some 1/4" BSW Taper taps 
amongst 
my engineering kit. If you are tapping a "through hole" you will not need a 
plug 
or bottoming tap. I am Very busy today but will look tomorrow and get straight 
back to yo.
 Regards
John Duggan,

Hi John (and others),

>Argggghhhhh!

Thanks; so I have been pointed out off-list too. ;)
It was at the link that Google produced for me that someone wrote it  
was a US size. :O

Anyway: Piers Hemy is going to send me some bolts and nuts today, so  
that should be covered. In order to make the strip nicely screw into  
the tripod's thread, a proper "wire thread tap" (what are these called  
in English?) would be handy, but I suspect those might be expensive,  
so perhaps we have to make-do there using some form of improvisation.

Cheers,
Olafo
