Hi,
How does R1/R10 pole adapter connect to pole in the store product photo (http://store.nodalninja.com/v/vspfil...NO-R-2.5-1.jpg)? Is there any special screw to attached to the pole? Is it gitzo monopod used in the product photo?

R10 (no rotator) has a 3/8" socket built in. you can mount it directly to a pole.
R1 need the pole adapter. It adds a 3/8" socket to its base.
In the photo, it is a Gitzo tripod center column.

Thanks Nick.
Hi,
I just received my R1 without rotator, and a pole adapter.
I'm still waiting for my Gitzo monopod, but I tried to attach the R1 to my Manfrotto tripod.
The 3/8" socket of the adapter fits perfectly on the tripod.
Issue is I just can't get R1, adapter and tripod sticked all together : both screws provided with the adapter are too long.
When I attach the R1 with the adapter, screws are exceeding about 5mm and generate a gap between the adapter and the tripod....
May I have your help please?
... and the tripod does only have the 3/8" screw, and no hole for letting the screws from the adapter pass through :/
Sorry for the trouble. The longer screws are for mounting the R1 through the pole adapter to RD4 rotator. The pole adapter act as a spacer to reduce the rotator footprint in this case. We only sold R1 with RD4 in the past. A pair of shorter screws are included by default. So We include the longer screws with the adapter.Quote:

I apologize for your inconvenience.

I am looking for a way to easily change my R10 from monopod to my RD8 on a tripod. You sell a 3/8 > M6 adapter which would seem to do the trick. I guess I would need to be careful in rotation, maybe rotating by grabbing the rotator and not the R10? I see the RD4 seems to be tapped to accept the R10 directly but the RD8 is not.
Thanks,
Tim
I am making a Quick Mount Adapter for interfacing R1/10 and the advanced rotators. It may be what you are looking for.Quote:

yes, it will work. but the footprint will be quite large. The Quick Adapter is dedicated for our monopod and pole. You will find it interesting. :wink:Quote:
