I've recently gotten a couple of bases for mounting a model of "panda" camera. It comes with a large hole in the back, a threaded hole for 3/8" (I think) conduit or ?? and a threaded hole for 1/2" EMT connectors.

I don't see the use of the (apparent) 3/8" opening. I didn't know this even existed. If there were 3/8" conduit end connectors that thread into a box, this would be that box.

What kind of thing might screw into that hole that looks like it's made for the next size down from a 1/2" EMT?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Well, maybe so, but the sales guy responded to this same question by saying that one hole is for 1/2" EMT and the other is for 3/4" EMT.

Lemme guess they were told it was like that but nobody actually checked. I don't see much need for 3/4" EMT, since I never use factory-made camera cables... maybe their other customers don't either, so they use 1/2" EMT. That's a lot to have happen at one time but that totally explains it.

Have you ever seen the far end of a camera installation being held in place by threaded rod? I sure haven't.
