This is what you want instead of that headless screw, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-4-Male-Threaded-to-1-4-Male-Threaded-Double-Male-Screw-Adapter-/310724574391?hash=item4858a0bcb7

If you're in the UK you can't get screws in imperial measurements, so getting a 1/4 headless screw is next to impossible.

This is such an awesome trick, and will work for pretty much any camera that has a tripod mount (or case with tripod mount, which is pretty much every camera ever). Thank you! I managed to do it all with non-gopro branded stuff off ebay for next to nothing too!

Hey, can we get more details on the "allen screw headless" that you're using to go from female to female tripod mount?

Looks like this should do it, right? Is it long enough?

It's called a set screw not headless
