Light, heavy duty, made of duralumin, quite easy to set it in and use Lens Support for 18-85 heavy zoom lens.
Take care of your PL Mount

Also it is includes Fluoropolymer ring, to prevent scratching 18-85 surface (white ring inside).

Nice work. If you are lacking Yevgeny's remarkable skills - redrockmicro makes a pretty good lens support for little dinero.

That's a nice little rig you got there Yevgeny, and a very good idea to boot.

Nice work Yevgeny. Is that a Red bottom plate on an Element Technica dovetail? I though the two were incompatible?

This set includes Red bottom plate and Element Technica dovetail. Yes, they are incompatible, but I made two little bridges to compile them together.
I do not like shoulder plate from Base package, because Red One backlashing on tripod in heavy rig.
