I have a Gitzo G1327 camera tripod with carbon fibre (CF) legs.
The thread at the top of one of the legs where it screws into the platform(?) head of the tripod has partially stripped and cannot be tightened. The effect of this is that loosening the twist clamps for the lower sections of the leg in question turns the leg at the head end.
Wasting time with Google I have found that most people seem to use variants of epoxy resin to glue CF to all manner of other stuff including metal. Is this the case or should I search out some frightfully expensive specialist adhesive?
The leg can be fully removed from the socket which would allow for roughening of the mating surfaces of leg and socket.
I do have some JB Weld if that would do a better job that Araldite.
Any tips or solutions would be gratefully received.
