RCA CC180 Owner's Manual page 34

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC035 shown on
page 28 will keep the camcorder steady and produce excellent
video results.
Caution:
Before using a tripod, make sure it is stable enough
to hold the camcorder without falling over.
When attaching your camcorder to a tripod, be careful not to
force the tripod screw into the camcorder's tripod mounting
hole.
The tripod screw should not protrude into the camcorder more
than approximately three-eighths (3/8) inch. Forcing the screw
could damage the mounting hole on the bottom of the
camcorder.
