Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted December 14, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted December 14, 2023 #2 looks like it natively accepts both PL and Arri-S. Nice! Where do I get one of those?! Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 @Duncan I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Duncan Brown Posted December 14, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) What are those red pull-knobs for then? I've only ever seen those on cheap-but-hey-they-work Arri-S mounts. Duncan ETA: Oh I see maybe they're cheap-and-ugly-but-hey-they-work knobs for grabbing the PL mount ring and spinning it?

Gregg MacPherson Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I think the red knobs were just for turning the PL lock ring easier, and to clearly show the lock ring position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geffen Avraham Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 20 hours ago, Gregg MacPherson said: Pics of three PL/TS adapters... 1) The Les Bosher one..see my dropbox ACL II pics https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iv95oerahx3929f/AADPd-7BkrctDPv78WjwtDlDa?dl=0 and Les has a pic on his website... 2) The simplest and cheapest looking one. 3) Quite sophisticated. Heikki has it now so he can maybe answer questions about it. Thank you so much Gregg! So the TS is just a metric thread? I wonder if you, Heikki, or someone could measure the threads, as I unfortunately do not have any factory adapters. I suppose I could try to measure the ones directly on my Eclair. Alternatively, might there be a specification or mechanical drawing for the TS mount made by Eclair? That could help even more. This is the ebay machinist, by the way. https://www.ebay.com/str/rareadapters He does make some PL adapters out of steel, so it seems like he could make one that would work. Thanks!

Geffen Avraham Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I wonder if Olex knows what the mount threading is, since he does service ACLs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geffen Avraham Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 How their adapters were made, but not much info about the mount itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
