Ah!! I've never used any heads that needed locking and that includes a lot of Novoflex stuff . Usually a good tightening is sufficient. Even my camera is just a screw. The little stud just clips on and off the holder

This L Plate would be needed to turn that into a very quick 90deg system

I haven't bothered with it because I have the other version for pano that uses Arca type clamps.

I think it was a common fault. Try a search on the US forum.

I'm on my 3rd Braun Kettle. Fed up with the design, but the kettle works perfectly with no condensation or leaks. The 1st one lasted 18 years the 2nd 6 years and I've had the current one 6 months. I've had two fancy kettles in between but they left puddles on the kitchen worktop so had to go very quickly.
This is the model....

Pentax lenses even the A series were quite well made and can be taken apart unlike similar lenses from other makers that were glued together.
I remember now the aperture ring problem is due to a plastic rivet snapping. It can be replaced with a small screw or (fingers crossed) a bit of epoxy glue. I'm quite sure the f/1.4 has a screw + possibly the last f/1.7's
Details here ..... There's PDF and a Youtube video in that thread.

Great lens. Very underrated. Must be something wrong/bent inside. Hardly worth repairing when you can pick up a mint one for about £40. Well worth buying another.

I like the idea of the Velbon PHD‑66Q Revolver Head (£109 )
http://www.velbon.biz/product/head.html
One left on Amazon uk for £86.28 Free delivery for Prime customers.
Another PLUS for the Pentax K-1 over the Sony A7's is that the tilt screen can be used with the camera in portrait mode. The Sony's only work in landscape mode

Sounds interesting. I wonder if there's any advantage apart from size over using something like a Novoflex L bracket which is part of the pano system and therefore much more versatile. Can be set on the nodal point plus balanced etc.

Welcome to the forum Andrea and Thanks for all the work you have put into this program.
Tethering isn't for me, but a lot of people have been asking for it. I hope they like it.
