The distance between the mounting holes is shorter on DDH-03.<br />If you have a little patience, I'm in the process of finalizing an article about creating a mini multi-row pano head weighing 0,6kg (~1.3oz) total, rotators, rails, clamps all included.<br />I expect it will be published this week, so stay tuned if you are interested.<br />Thank you too for the kind comment.<br />Sotiris Sotiris C.

If you Google &qu...Hello Fernando, you are welcome.<br />If you Google "Rubber tape" you can see what I meant in the review. They are self adhesive tapes that come in various widths 3cm,5cm etc and 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm etc thick made of closed cell sponge rubber. My suggestion was meant for use with a camera as it offers an even and wider area. A "Rubber Gasket" or "Rubber Washer" is better for your case though.<br />As far as "Loctite" is concerned I put a drop, then screw so it spreads in the threads, then leave for 24hrs to dry.<br />Back to point A, thanks for explaining, it is something I have in mind to write about panoramas. I had also requests about the entrance pupil (nodal point) determination, planning the scene and discuss a little about focal lengths, depth of field etc. I thought there is a lot of information around but maybe I need to write something for reference in the blog. I just hope I have the time to do it soon.<br />Best regards,<br />SotirisSotiris C.

I will try option b because I think a thin and flexible (but solid) layer between the pieces might be the solution I need, I didn't understood well what you meant with "rubber tape". But I have a doubt about the other two options: you mean "use a drop and then screw", or "use a drop, let it dry and then screw"?.<br />About the first point, what I meant was something more "documentary way" about the process you follow to take a panoramic. Don't get me wrong, it's obvious that writing your reviews must take quite a lot of time and as I said in the other comment your blog is great like it is (and there are usage examples as you comment), take this just like a fan wishlist (sorry, my english has reached it's limit at this point, I hope you understand :)<br />Thanks again, <br />FernandoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557771833482681207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603072406405307469.post-63042321660061538222013-04-12T02:24:32.935+03:002013-04-12T02:24:32.935+03:00Hello Fernando, thank you for your kind comments.
...Hello Fernando, thank you for your kind comments.<br />In some posts, there are usage examples, especially when relevant to "creating" ideas. <br />Time is a great constrain in testing and writing gear reviews as well as documenting or promoting my photographic work which is not actually the point of this blog. You may see some samples in the <a href="http://album.scvphotoideas.com/" rel="nofollow">S.C.V. Photography Ideas - Album</a> if you like.<br />Concerning the attachment of DDH-02 on MPB150T, I would propose a few alternative solutions:<br />a. Use 1 drop of blue "Loctite" on the threads of the 1/4"-20~3/8"-16 bushing before you screw on DDH-02 and tighten well. Then another drop of blue "Loctite" on the 1/4"-20 captive screw before screwing on the clamp. This will prevent the screws from loosening.<br />b. Alternatively, put a thin Hard-Rubber Gasket or Washer between DDH-02 and MPB150T and tighten well. Have a look at the end of <a href="http://www.scvphotoideas.com/2012/05/benro-298-ex-a2980f-versatile.html" rel="nofollow">Benro A-298 EX (A2980F) Versatile Transformer Tripod Review</a><br> for an example of Rubber Gasket which you may get from any hardware store. Keep a note that you shall need a longer 1/4"-20 captive screw in this case.<br />c. Instead of using a bushing, you may find an M6 flat head screw 2.0-2.5 cm long and screw the DDH-02 on the top hole of the MPB150T vertical rail directly from top (as it would be attached on a ball head). You may use a drop of blue "Loctite" here too.<br />Hope that this helps.<br />Regars,<br />Sotiris<br />(No worries, maybe some other time, enjoy your gear! :) )Sotiris C.

Thank you very much for your great...Hello, Sotiris. Thank you very much for your great articles, they are like BBC documentaries for a newcomer like me, the only thing I could miss is some post about how you use the gear you describe with so much detail (but as I say your blog is great anyway). <br />I have a doubt about de rubber tape you mention when you talk about the lack of friction between the braket and the camera bottom: I've bought a Sunwayfoto DDH-02 compact Panning Clamp wich I mount on the horizontal rail of the Benro MPB150T, and although it does not twist when it's well tightened to the rail, it can loosen sometimes, might be, I think, becouse temperature changes between the moment I mount it, at home for example, and the moment I take the pictures on the outside (it always has happened before mounting the camera, fortunately). To attach the clamp I use a 1/4"-20 ~ 3/8"16 thread conversion bushing and the 1/4"-20 chromed-steel captive screw which is included with the Benro MPB150T.<br />Do you think my problem could be fixed sticking a piece of rubber tape on the rail, or on the base of the panning clamp? Which kind of tape? I'm afraid to use an inadequate product and leave it worse than it was.<br />Thank you very much in advance,<br />Fernando<br />(sorry for my english)<br />(and sorry very much, I found your page after purchasing both products so I didn't use your links...)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557771833482681207noreply@blogger.com
