RatMagicLady, I think that you are talking about locktite. I guess I could just screw it on as tight as possible until I get different legs.
Yeah, it might be some variant of that. Pretty sure it was syrupy and red, but memory isn't cooperating: I might be confusing one thing for another.
If you don't mind it on the threads themselves, Loctite might do the job as originally-intended. I kind of wonder if there mighn't be an adapter plate you could just buy, or have made, for that matter?
I don't actually use any like big-long-heavy stuff or anything, but it seems like it's not a big risk of catastrophe unless you have something with a lot of leverage mounted and carry the tripod on your shoulder or some such.
I wonder, though, if maybe your legs aren't made for a telescope, and if perhaps some telescope-stuff company makes an adapter or something.
