That's quite clever actually. Not sure I can be arsed to go looking for a correct sized bolt but maybe next time I am trailing after the missus round B&Q...

Certainly beats paying £25 for one!: http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/?/photo/kirk/acc...

If you have a quick release for your tripod you could always tie the string to that, saves having to visit B+Q!

Depending on camera, it'll be either 3/8" or 1/4".

They have - I have my father's one (commercially bought) which is probably c.1960.
