The current firestore cradle fits the Reddrive perfectly. I will experiment with adding rubber cushioning to the sides to add some shock absorption, but the current one works great. Did preliminary shock testing with no dropouts.

The microport receiver cradle is also very nice and adjustable. and fits the Audio limit perfectly.

And the best thing is that all parts have both 1/4" and 3/8" holes for easy mounting on the RED.

Anders - any idea how much the firestore expands out to allow shock absorbing material?
Looking at Ugrip's website it's a bit difficult to see how parts adjust. Also, are the 90 degree handles strong enough to be angled and take the weight of a heavier red setup?

There are two adjustments at either side: The thumb screws and the Hex screws securing the slide mounts. This allows for a wide adjustment range. I believe you could get around 1cm of padding at either side with the REDDrive. I can test tomorrow.

What's great about this system is that all their products consistes of standard pieces. The firestore cradle, it the two standard side parts and two standard plates. In the future you can exchange the plates with longer or shorter plates and keep the sides. Or you can keep the plates and use different side pieces Like this:

Absolutely if you mean in a configuration like this:

If you want to use them as a topmount - maybe. They also make a 90° handle peice which is solid.
