Only I don't see anything on the RRS website. I haven't checked the Newton site yet. I'm wondering if someone has already done this and can tell me what I'd need. Thanks. Cameras: 1DX, 1D4, 20D, 10D, S90, G2

I adapted my LR II for my DI100CR, as shown here:
The camera may ride a little higher than with the Standard Newton bracket but that will not matter. You will note in the picture, that I have a non-standard (lower) "arm" that the LR II is attached to. Robert made this for me when I used an RC2 QR....and thought the height of the 5D was important (at that time). You will need a reducing bushing (from RRS, they are longer, better) so you can use a 1/4-20 bolt. I used "blue" Loctite to help keep the LR II from "torquing". Not sure it was need, but it does not move at all. At the bottom, is a short RRS lens plate so the entire assemby can be mounted on the tripod. Another view:

Readers take note of the TLC that Robert Newton provides to owners of his brackets...find this kind of service, at any price, from others! You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
