So I'm in a bit of shitty situation /p/, I'm going camping this weekend and I find myself without a tripod other than this old grey thing I found in a closet a while ago and have never used before. Its not great but I'll take it over having nothing any day. I didn't have the quick release plate that attaches to the camera and is what is also attached to the tripod so I bought a used one at a photo shop. The problem I face is that the plate is slightly to small for the tripod so when I put it in normally it is very loose but is close enough that it still doesn't fall out. I can secure it by folding up two kleenex and putting it under the plate (pic related) but that is kind of hard to do and undermines the "quick" part of quick release. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make the plate slightly larger that would be more permanent, stable, and quick? I'm happy to at least have something but I think there should be some way to make it a lot better and I just haven't figured it out yet. Thanks in advance for any ideas in case I forget to reply.
