I stripped out my threads in my Sigma 100-300mm F/4 tripod socket!!

Any tips on what I should do??

Or better yet, do you have one for sale??

Joey

    Not that it would help you now but another justification for a mounting system like RRS. You put the lens plate on the tripod mount and never touch it again. The Arca style plates never strip.

    Now back to your problem. You could take it to machine shop and they should be able to drill it out, tap it, and put a threaded sleeve in the tapped hole.
