Hi Doug!
You've been telling me, for some time, to alter my home-made hard-maple
grip for the 400/f6.8 Telyt to accept a QR plate. With some effort, I've
tapped the bottom of the grip and inserted a 1/4-20 T-nut (the wrong way).
I used 24-hr epoxy to hold it in place and it seems quite secure.
I've also made the insides of the maple look like Swiss cheese, in order to
lower weight.
It's amazing how close Varathane's "Colours in Plastic" (gloss black) comes
to the factory finish on the Leitz aluminum shoulder stock
mount. :) Most, who have looked at it, think it's factory!
Anyway, it seems to hold the QR plate from my Manfrotto monopod just fine.
Without the extra support, I can still get good results with the s/s and 2x
converter, but camera shake ruins a whole bunch of shots!
I'll report further, once I have the chance to use it. With luck, that
will be this weekend.
Cheers!
