[QUOTE="hark, post: 137841, member: 13196"] I have a Bogen 3047 tripod head, and the cork on the quick release plate has come loose. I can peel off the cork and am wondering what the best type of adhesive will be to mount it again. When I use it now, my lenses swivel when the head is switched to the vertical position so I need to fix this to ensure the cork won't come loose. I also want to replace this quick release plate, but I'm not sure whether it is the 1/4" or 3/8" size. Supposedly the USA standard was the 1/4". What am I supposed to be measuring--the screw that gets inserted into the camera? It actually looks to be slightly narrower than 1/4". Here is a link with what looks to be my plate: [URL="http://www.bogentripodparts.com/parts/head3047.htm"]3047 head[/URL] Any ideas for glue to replace the cork on my current plate and what size plate I need for a replacement? Thank you!!! :) [/QUOTE]
