[Frameworks] Tripod for Arri S

[Jeff Kreines]

Marco:

Yes, eBay is a good place to get them cheaply.  Search:  http://www.ebay.com/1-4-to-3-8-tripod

10 for $5.39 — share them with your friends!

Tripod screw threads are usually 1/4-20 or 3/8-16, and as you point out these screws and nuts and threaded rod are available almost anywhere (in the US).
