This 3/8"-16 Wooden Camera Low-Profile Screw is a captive tie-down screw suitable for use with Wooden Camera's Quick Base, Dovetail Clamp, or QR Plate, as well as select third-party tripod quick release plates. The screw features threads only at the tip, making it unlikely to fall out of the threaded channel when not engaged in a camera or device.

Q: 9. How effective is this masking animal noises, like dogs barking in the background as I'm having a Skype call?

A: This item will not cancel out the sound of a dog barking. This item is meant primarily to make conversations under it unintelligible to others within a 15' radius.

Q: 10. How long is this camera screw in inches from the base to the end (not including the head)?

A: It is probably not long enough. I can't remember exactly how long, but I purchased this screw to use with a small teleprompter. It needed to go through the tripod camera plate then through the teleprompter plate into a small threaded universal mounting plate. It only went flush with the teleprompter plate; not enough threads to securely attach the teleprompter. It would be helpful if the description or specs gave the length so that we could make a more informed decision.
