    Hi

    I got a Clutch and am trying for easiest configuration between handheld and tripod. I'm using the ET 2060 (18-inch) dovetail with the ET 19mm Bridge Plate on my Epic via a riser plate on a Sachtler 25.

    When I switch from Clutch to my tripod (which has the ET 2060), the DSMC QR remain loose even when I lock it using the dovetail lever. Is the DSMC QR (dovetail) compatible with the ET 2060 dovetail?

    Please advise.

    you can adjust the clamp hight for the dovetail lock on the quickrelease. Just remove the silver plate covering the dovetail lock by unscrewing the two screws and reposition the lever accordingly.

    Hi Adnan,

    George is correct. You can adjust the locking mechanism of your BP.

    If you have any questions, you can e-mail me at may.peltonen@3alitytechnica.com ;)
