Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hello everybody, m looking for that little metal cord that holds the arm on the docking bracket, mine got broken, very very luckily it did when I was taking it out of the bag... imagine what could have happened it if did when resting on the bracket and falling exactly on the post....

Premium Members Sven Joukes Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Matteo, I guess you're talking about the G-50? The same thing happened to me (my arm didn't fall from the stand either, luckily). I told Robin about it and he said he had some spares lying around. Never got round to getting one here, though. I hang my arm on the side studs of my docking bracket (MK-V) in the opening next the arm post. I don't see any harm in that, and it's not likely to come apart there. (Anyone think it could hurt?) Besides, if already two of these little cables broke, I'm not getting an new one, I don't think I'll ever again hang my arm from them again... Good luck!

Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted May 7, 2009 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Sven Yes, I was meaning that little piece of metal cord from the G50... Thanks for replying and sharing your experience. Well, I think I'll leave it docked inside the bag. Don't want to risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Colin Donahue Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Matteo, Mine broke as well. I think I was holding it at the time so no damage. We are all amazingly lucky! Anyway, this was a couple of years ago and Kyle Young (when he was still at Tiffen) gave me a few new ones. He said they changed the design. I have not had a problem since, and I check it every now and then. It still looks good. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Sven Joukes Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks Robin, if the design has changed I'll have another look at it and reconsider... Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
