Stan Marcinkowski 1 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi There is a pin to lock old type F-bracket in Ultra1 gimbal. I didn't recive it in my rig, and my question is, where can I find it or where are any pictures or dimensions to go with to the machine shop? Regards Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Bradley 2 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Hey Stan, I had a random screw in my ultra kit which I have never had a use for, when I posted a photo of it Robin at Tiffen informed me it was for low mode. But my low mode bracket has an entirely different screw so I still do not know what this other screw is for (maybe your kind of bracket??)...

Andrew Bradley 2 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hey Stan, best to contact Robin at Tiffen Pinewood (depending on where you are located) I am sure he can advise on where to source the pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rupert peddle 1 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah Andrew's correct. I have an Ultra 1 gimbal on my Clipper and needed to get the correct pin when I got a new low mode bracket. The guys at Tiffen sorted me out, Robin's address is rthwaites@tiffen.com.

Stan Marcinkowski 1 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Robin hasn't replied me for this week. Andrew could you measure thread on your screw please? Inner diameter is ca. 4mm in handle, but I can't find correct inch thread. Regards Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
