Side handle screw question for the DSMC2

[adam brennan]

I recently purchased a DSMC2 Side Handle and notice the screws are allen head screws and the side cover plate is torx screws. Not sure why red didn't keep the same type of screw heads on the side handle and the cover plate. Weird.. maybe this is a rant rather than a question.

i would love it (and buy it), if someone figured out little finger tighten-able screws for the side handle. it already has one, would just love it if all of them were like that.

I use a Stanley Torx screwdriver - I forgot if it's T10 or T15 lol. I know it's not the most ideal scenario, but it works with the allen key screws just fine.

Also, having a proper screwdriver alleviates the issue of reaching the bolts and tightening them - I can get the side handle off in seconds.

Any chance that some future firmware could standardize these so they all work the same??? Or is it a hardware thing.
Nuts how each camera can have its own type of start stop system.

Anyone have suggestions for storing the handle when not in use?

There is a cap in red store for that purpose
