Hi Ken.
Thanks for that suggestion.
I have a fully threaded M12 rod but find it difficult to tighten the two non rotatable female threads of the NEQ and tripod head together.
When I thread the rod through the female thread of the tripod head it pushes up on the mount slightly before it engages with its female thread. I just don't seem to be able to retighten this small amount of "push".
I notice that proprietary locking shafts of this type have a narrowed section between the upper and lower threads like the attached image but I have not seen anywhere where I could readily buy one of the right dimensions like these.
I'll go down to National Nuts and Bolts with my measurements tomorrow and ask.
