What Type of SCREWS are those on the SCARLET ??

[George D.]

I find this quite annoying, but I stupidly "assumed" the screws holding the Scarlet together would be Allen screws just like the Red-One. But, no they are these little multifaceted types that I don't have a single screwdriver of that type in all my tools for.

Until I acquire the right type, I can't even remove the small door so I can attach the SSD Side Handle.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me what the damn things are called, what size I need, and if one size fits all, or if I need an entire kit?

I'm sorry if I seem perturbed, but we just got our Scarlet today and I can't even put it together until I can find the time to get to the hardware store.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!

Thanks.

I seem to recall an allen key working just fine, or was it a tool that came with the side handle? I didnt have to buy any special tool

I think many of the screw heads are torx; a sort of star shaped variation on allen heads.

Been awhile, but doesn't the Scarlet come with those tools? Any chance they're in your packaging?

One fell out of the bottom of the SSD unit the day I took the Scarlet out of the box. I'm sure I used either a hex or star wrench... One should fit...

Torx. Buy a little all in one set. Double check your packaging, could have sworn we got a single key or two thrown in

 

[William Albertini]

You can buy a set of Torx drivers in most hardware stores. My scarlet came with the necessary ones.

Not near my camera, but I think this is correct.

This applies to Epic and Scarlet:

Typical Accessories Bolts = 5/32" Hex
Top Plate = M4 Hex
DSMC Lens Mounts = Torx T20
General Body Plates and DSMC Side SSD Module = Torx T10
Top Grill = Torx T8
Backfocus = Torx Plus IP10

And yes, the bodies ship with one Torx T10.
