Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide shows you how to replace the tripod socket plate. This can be useful if the threads on the tripod mount gets damaged to where it is no longer useable.
The Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
