Jess Haas SOC 20 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 New gorelock docking brackets from Jerry Hill also include the functionality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard James Lewis 20 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Optical Support make one too. Their version removes the slight upward tilt in the docking fork which the others don't. This allows you to pan flat. With the others you pan the rig in the fork and the frame goes off level. Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jens Piotrowski SOC 199 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 I believe the upwards angle is designed to keep the rig from slipping out, when not locked in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Jarnagin SOC 177 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Upward angle is a good thing. If I need to operate a shot off the stand, I'll do it from the balance pin. The tilting dock is good for a rough frame for lighting. I contacted DNR about a month ago and he told me he was out of them. I asked if he was planning another run and he never answered me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try Betz Tools, they're selling them. That's where I got mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thomas-english 88 Report post Posted March 25, 2016 would you say it is any improvement on just putting it on the balancing pin? generally just shoot off the balancing pin unless the shot is a lock off then fumble about between tilt brackets and lazy legs. I've got the optical support tilt bracket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
