[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]This is the shoulder stock in question (I must give copyright credit to Doug 'cause he sent me the photo). <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/digiratidoc/GH1/monopod.jpg.html> The stock mounts to the Telyt via a plate with a tripod screw and is stabilized by two pins in the plate that mate with two pins on the lens bracket . I suppose I could mount a small ball head onto the stock plate and then the camera on top of that? BTW, how do you delete a photo from your gallery album. I accidentally added this one twice and now I don't know how to delete it:) Jim On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 7:02 PM, George Lottermoser <imagist3 at mac.com> wrote: > If rotation is crucial > you could mount a small ball head > (or any number of 90? pieces of hardware) > to the pistol grip. > > RRS makes wonderful stuff > < http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.asp?ic=MH-01&eq=&Tp> > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > george at imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > On Apr 7, 2010, at 6:52 PM, James Laird wrote: > >> Wow, that's a great idea (the srb-griturn tripod mount), but I don't >> think there's enough room on the barrel of the Nikor 200 f4 to mount >> the thing <http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/200f4ai.htm>.
