Subject: RE: [Leica] Rapidwinder with Arca-Swiss base

The bottom of the Rapidwinder is not flat.  The advance lever sticks up,
even when in the "relaxed" state, and the tripod screw is also proud to the
base face.  How would you make this non-flat base work with a mounting
plate?  Chop out a piece of the mounting plate where the lever and tripod
screw fits?

The Rapidwinder is long in the axis that is perpendicular to the lens axis.
The Arca QR is  long in the direction ALONG the lens axis.  This does not
seem to work at all.
