Universal mount on Topside combo?

[Ronnie Wenngren]

I am going to use the 15mm Topside Combo from ET.
Can I attach the RED Quick Plate on a RED Universal Mount on the 15mm top rods if I use 19/15mm adapters inside the holes of the Universal Mount?
Are the distance between the rods center the same?
Kind regards,
/Ronnie

I don't think you can do this but you could mount the red quickplate directly to the et top plate.

Unfortunately, the distance between rod centers is NOT the same for 15 vs. 19mm. With that being said, the RED Quick Plate can be mounted to a 3rd Element 15mm Top Rod Mount. Our Top Mounts are available at our website, and they are $250 a piece.

Thanks, Steve, for important info.
And, Shane, I will use the Topside Combo for steadicam low mode mount so I´m afraid the Combos flat area have to be clean and available for the dovetail.
regards,

I like to use ET Top mounts as 15mm Universal mounts. I prefer to skip the quickplate and just mount the RED Battery Plate on an ET Aluminum Battery Interface. Much lighter.
