Re: Damaged Baseplate from Tripod Plate

I think your assessment is bang on. That would explain why on long days hiking, the Kirk plate would come loose.

It's possible that the bolt on the Kirk plate is a bit too long for that camera such that when tightened, it bottoms out in the camera tripod socket and that by tightening it at that point the bolt puts a force on the socket pulling it out/away from the camera.
