I wrote to OPT about this and got a reply that said essentially the same thing. I found that a bit curious.
I'm planning on having a new pier made and am about to "put pen to paper" to get that started but am held up with the design of the top plate. I think I'll have to go for a separate adjustment plate - adds to the cost but I just can't go ahed without being able to get a proper level.
What heights were you guys thinking about for this rig. My present thoughts are that keeping it down to about 600mm above floor level (for the top plate) will be about right. Any thoughts?
What sort of height does the tripod offer?
