    Just a tiny one as it says; I suggest you update the store page for the MB rod support to list 'DSMC universal mount' in the REQUIRED section.

    I know, you do specify in a couple of different places that it mounts to a DSMC mount, my own fault for not realizing the implication perhaps, but I just bought one expecting to hang it on my OLD 19mm Universal Mount, and was frustrated to find it was a no-go. The exact mount type needed needs to be listed in 'REQUIRED' IMHO; yes it's useless without a matte box, but it's equally useless without the *correct* universal mount!

    It says in the descriptions what you need with it quite clearly. They also show a picture of the two married together.

    My rod support is on the Fedex truck right now... And I realize I've made the same mistake as Mike.

    My mistake, as it is mentioned in the product description. On the other hand. isn't this what the "required" field is for?
