Anwenk Rubber Pads Rubber Washers with 1/4" Screw Hole for Anti-Scratch Camera & Accessories Protection, Shorten Long Camera Screw Shaft, Enhance Friction,Anti-Slippery, 5Pack

Good Quality

I use MeFoto stands for portability with my audio gear. For rode/rycote blimps and other audio devices these metal to metal contacts didn't provide enough friction to be really tight and things would get loose too easily.These rubber pads appear to be a very cheap solution! They seemed too big, but with hard tightening they secure very well.So, if you are using camera stands with your pro audio gear and field recording try these out to get a secure, light weight connection :)

I have lots of grips, tripods, extenders... and most of them don't have any rubber pad attached to it, and this is a hell of a problem when you tighten your grips and extenders and that metal-on-metal friction makes it impossible to get it loose. Would've love for the set to have at least two pads with thinner size because some of my grips have a small screw which makes impossible the use of this pads on them. Still, very happy with the purchase.

For my camera setup, the 1/4" screw was too long and bottomed out before the camera was even tight and secure to the mount. Idk who to blame for that blunder the camera or the screw, but this small rubber washer has solved the problem. Just thin enough to fit in between and secure the camera.

I had purchased some tripods that had some extremely tall 1/4" screws, and when I would put a light on them it would be wobbly.I had tried some simple foam cut to size and a hole cut in them, but it would fall off when I would take the light off.These are amazing! They fit perfectly on the screw and stay in place even without anything on the tripod.

This pack was cheap, and guarantees that I have spares when I need them. They're black rubber and will disappear, so having a couple extra is a good call. I mix these with some 1/4 by 20 bolts and couplers, so I have a semi permanent point to add small mounts for lamps and small cameras. They're a little on the thicker side, so be sure that you use bolts with some extra length for additional grab.

They serve it's purpose.

They worked ok at first, but they seem to warp easily after being tightened down on.
