Re: eos m10 side screw thread

I can try to get a measurement in the next few days, but it might be tricky to find a screw with threads of matching depth and pitch. If you are considering making your own grip, I can tell you that the official grip does not screw in very deeply and while strong enough to secure the slim form of the oem one, I would not recommend making, say, a wooden slr style grip using that thread as the only attachment. I don't think it's meant to hold much weight, especially for longer lenses. The oem grip is molded to fit the contour of the body and has an inner felt-like backing. I would certainly recommend it unless you would rather make your own, in which case modifying an existing one might make more sense than starting from scratch. I believe there is also a metal aftermarket grip that screws into the tripod mount on the bottom. Hope this helps, best of luck!
