Camera Mount Screws ?


Hello, I was curious as if anyone knows what the camera mount screws are called or where to get them. I do know that the standard mount is a 1/4 x 20 machine screw, but I'm looking more in the lines of the screws that are thinner and then go to the 1/4 inch standard. If nothing else where to find (locally would be best) some camera mount pads with screws already in them.

On another quest, I was also looking to find out what they are called or HOW to keep a regular 1/4 screw mounted or attached to a flash bracket without it falling out.

I've though it was something like this :



but went to the local Home Depot and ws told that these will also "unscrew" just like a regular nut.

Any ideas ? EVEN if it's not local any help would be appreciated.
