    Thanks for your repair guides. My question is post it on another thread, but maybe you can help me.
    The tripod connector on the bottom of my Samsung NX1 camera became stripped.  I have tried to fix it with a repair kit, with 1/4"-20 coil to insert in the hole.I had no luck and this way it can't be repaired. I am now trying to find a spare part (a tripod plate or the socket inside the camera), but I have not succeeded. Do you know where I can find it? Maybe another socket from a different camera model might fit. On eBay I have found several from other cameras, they look very similar to each other, but I haven't opened the camera and I don't know what the one on the NX1 looks like. Since you opened the camera several times for your repair guides, do you by any chance have a picture of what this socket looks like? Thank you very much.
