https://www.jimmyjib.com/product/EA-112 This has been the Gold standard for many years. I've got one I'd be willing to sell at a much better price than this. That's if you are looking for a gimbal handle mounted control. Otherwise there are cheap alternatives to Preston that you may or may not want to use in a higher end professional environment. Google Tilta Nucleus-M

Yo Clean! If you speak of the post that goes in the arm and gimbal handle I have never experienced any issues with Aluminum. So no need for me.

Emailed you.

This tool is so great. Had my Klassen hard mount for years and finally got one. Don't know how I got by without it.

Hey Bud! Come on over. I'll message you

If you can't remove them from the socket block the simplest thing is to screw them in and cut the damaged threaded end off with a hack saw. I recall having this problem at one time. I saw someone on this board has machined hardened screws with a cupped extended tip that would compress with use but not damage the threads. Do a search

Thank you Matt!

You could always just run a thin BNC directly out of the camera to the monitor and bypass the post connectors. Dropping it down from under the lens and it would not interfere with operating. Good Luck!

Seems like a lot of work just to avoid spinning the dock around 180 degrees. Plus I really like that spud off to the left of the center post. Great for balancing without worrying if the stand will fall over. Its not for me but to each his own.

My Titanium socket block split in two at the thinnest surface and I believe starting at the little hole where the spring end fits after years of use with a my WK vest. It was actually a very light camera package (Alexa Mini) on my PRO sled. Replaced it with a steel block and never had a problem since.

I use a poncho. No problem with the extra material and I wear a goretex rain jacket underneath to keep my arms dry. For cold weather I have a long insulated coat with a slot tailored in the side for the arm to poke through.

Congratulations Rick!
