Where to get 1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter

darel · 10th December 2006

Hi,
well I've tried to purchase this for a while, but to no avail. I've visited TCW, CP at both Marina and Peninsula and some camera shops while in Malaysia. I've even tried some diy shops. Anyone knows exactly where they can be purchased, or anyone has one to spare? Any help or information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I got mine at Cathay Photo Peninsula this September,
cost me around $2 or $3.....

Yup, it is easily available at CP, the tripod section not CP's camera and bags shop which is across the corridor. Cost $2 or $3 as vincent9999 said.

Unless you are looking for the reverse 3/8" to 1/4" adaptor, still CP at tripod section should have (don't know lah if out of stock), I got from CP for use of a Slik arm on my tripod 3/8" screw.

thanks for the helpful replies.

well i'd like to use a ball head with a 3/8" screw on my monopod with a 1/4" screw. I've been checking there since more than a month ago or so, and they haven't had it, and can't tell me when stock will arrive.

mrngbss, have you tried that company? I'm not too sure about how to go about getting it from them, and they seem as if they're doing wholesale

i think Ruby(penisula) is selling.

darel · 16th December 2006

Oh okay thanks, since there aren't anymore suggestions I shall drop by there when I'm around the area

Yup. Ruby has the screw adapter. I bought 1 piece 2 days back, and there was 1 piece left. Cost $2.

New stock will be coming in. But best to give them a call to see if there really is stock before going down.
