Hey...
I have an idea that might help some of us who may want to switch quickly from the Quickplate to the Cradle, or handheld with no drive to quickly mounting a drive.
Why not a separate drive mount? You could (for instance) mount a Quickplate on the rear, and this drive mount on the top. You could go handheld with no drive, then mount up a drive quickly instead of switching Quickplate and Cradle...
You could also keep the camera more compact this way, and Steadicam operators in particular might appreciate shortening the mass of the camera (even by just this small amount)
Just in keeping with the camera's modularity...
Although I guess Velcro on the top cheeseplate would be fine too...
Cheers,
Harry
