Step 3Epoxy Bottom Nut
Next epoxy the long 1/4-20 nut into the other end of the conduit. To keep things from getting too messy, I stuffed some kleenex down the conduit, and also into the end of the nut (to keep the epoxy from working it's way back up the nut thread) No need for a washer since this side screws into the trekking pole.
The reason I decided to use a nut on this side instead of another hex bolt was so that I could screw the camera directly into the trekking pole (to use as a monopod) I I wanted to.

What a great idea! I've been wanting to build a monopod out of one of my walking sticks and parts of your Instructable will make it finally happen. A small suggestion: Instead of cutting off a bolt's head, try using an Allen setscrew. They come in various lengths from a couple of threads long to a couple of inches. It can be difficult to cut off a bolt and then make the threads clean enough to be usable. Thanks again.
