Keith Wood Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 It strikes me that I can get the most versatility at the least effort by leaving the Merlin dovetail attached to the camera, then mounting the tripod adapter to the Pilot mounting plate. This should let me quickly go between Merlin2 and Pilot without having to resort to screwdrivers. With appropriate markings to line things up, it should save a lot of work. Can anyone think of a reason NOT to do this? The only cons that I can think of are adding a little weight and cantilevering the cam up a little. Neither looks like much of an issue to me, but I'm new around here. One major PRO is that I can standardize the tripod adapter as every mount for the camcorder (the guys at Adorama won't mind selling me a few more). However, if there's a problem, I'd rather hear about it before going any farther. Thanks, Kaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted February 26, 2017 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Kaze- This is a commonly accepted solution. You're adding ounces. No worries. You're raising the c.g. 1/2". No worries. Go for it !! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
