Where to order O'Connor parts?

[Scott Miller]

I places a WTB, but for exposure, here we go again, so for the cross post

When stowing my tripod, the assistant apparently left the cam lock lever (or whatever the correct term is) in the out position and it snapped. This is the red lever that you pull to release the camera mount plate, and it snapped off right at the base. Makes detaching the camera a real pain to say the least.

So, where can I order parts for my O'Connor 10-30? US/California prefered for speed, as I would like to order it and get it dropped to my hotel friday.

Thx,

Scott

Yes, those levers and the older mid level spreaders can be a pain.

I believe these guys deal with O'Connor directly:

I have a call into them. Hope to hear back from David (who's extension I was refered to).

Hope it is something they carry. On closer inspection, I see that the lever, cam and the plate they attach to come off as a unit. So I am betting that is what you buy. Scared to see how much that will set me back:yikes:

O'Connor service is very good! Rick and Dave have both repaired gear for me in the last 3 months.

Best,
Rich

Yes they are good, and they probably do have the parts at hand -- but yeah, you have a right to be scared if you're on a budget!
