If your tripod mount starts to crumble like this: Washer and Gorilla Glue, sol'n courtesy of @iacas : I overdid the glue, not pretty but functional.

Good tip thanks! My tripod is one of those gorilla pods so the adapter thingy stay screwed to the camera all the time, it clips into the pod.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yeah,  my camera has a quick release plate that fits the ball heads on both of my tripods.  That one in the photo is either a poorly designed mount or the user has been overtightening the mounting screw.  I've been using cameras on tripods for 40 years and never had that problem.

It's just plastic that can dry and crack through normal use over time.

Yes, you can leave some cameras on the tripod mount, but on the FH-100 it's tough because the battery/SD card door is right there.

Ahh... never used a Casio.  I have a little Canon point and shoot (tripod mount is on the opposite end of the bottom plate from the battery and SD card door), and a Canon 60D DSLR.  Also had a Fuji waterproof until I left it in a restaurant in the Bahamas - didn't realize it was gone until we were in the boat across 30 miles of open ocean halfway back to the home island.  Never used the Fuji on a tripod. so I don't know how that would have worked.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
