Sachtler S25 and ET 2060 dovetail

[Jean Wallez]

Can someone who uses this combo confirm it is safe?The S25 plate is so tiny and there is so few space between the holes,i wonder if it is compatible with the Arri style ET dovetail.

If it's the same as the Sachtler Video 20 Mk II, then only one of the ET baseplate holes will line up with the quick release plate.

Yes,it's the same : touch and go 16.
No go!
Thank's Eric.
The S25 with a flat base has the "touch and go 35" which is bigger .

The 2060 ET dovetail has both sizes screw threads so you can use the big screw (3/8") and the small one (1/4") from the Sachtler plate to connect it. It is not the best combination but it works if it's all you have available.

Yes,it's an option and having to consider an heavier(S30) or more expensive(cine30HD) head make me sad.Drill an other 3/8" hole in this 8cm long plate?

 

[Steven-Marc C.]

I think that might actually be the best solution.

Ok!
Thank's Steven-Marc.
