ET Mantis & ET Bridgeplate

[Dominique Grenier]

How do yo guys deal with the metal lever of the ET bridge plate while mounted on the Mantis rig? Unless I do something wrong, it really gets in the way and it sometimes hit my neck, which isn't really pleasant. I could tape it so it doesn't hurt, but that still not really great. Ideas?

tight the lever, loose the screws and then change the direction of the lever.

I just used that system yesterday and had no issues. What lever is scratching your neck, the bridgeplate or the lever for the shoulder pad on the mantis? Do you have a really thick neck?

Maybe Johan's idea will work. How far forward does the lever go when locked? Maybe you can adjust that.

it works, you just have to tight it, loose the screws, remove the plate, and then you can take off the lever and put it in another direction, so its not right in your neck =)

Thanks guys, that did the trick. I don't know why, but I didn't think of taking it apart.
