Tripod mount socket screw.

Checking my XPro-2 after a recent airplane trip I noticed that one of the 2 screws securing to tripod socket to the base was missing. Picture is attached. I called the Fuji repair in New Jersey. They said they'd send me, gratis, replacements snd that i should use Locktite on the replacement.

I was also told that XT2s were known for shedding these after removing the camera from a tripod.

YEMV, of course.

Mount a small Arca quick shoe; this will stop the problem.

Still eating on the replacement screws. Drat it all

The replacements came in yesterday. No Charge. I'll pick up some fresh Locktite to keep them on.

Installed the one missing screw, with a very small dab of clear nail polish. I couldn't find the correct Locktite locally! Checked the others all are tight. Ryall PITA.
