Had a good look at the mk 2 version and have to say what a brilliant piece of kit. Took my old mk 1 bits to the stand in the afternoon to upgrade but horrors, Terry had sold out before Sunday. Placed an order and it came today, excellent service Terry. As soon as possible I had the scope up and set the bracket and camera up, took a little time but patience was rewarded. The system was absolutley fine, the bracket stayed in place no movement at all when the scope was picked up and put down, the camera stayed in the closed up position and also in the swung out position, when I tried that. I also found that it was so rigid that a remote release was not needed. A word of warning if you do have a remote release as in Paul's photos be very careful when you swing the camera out to look through the scope you could get a poke in the eye!!, you have been warned. Belive me I found a remote release was not needed. I also found that the bracket could easily take my Sony handycam (the SR series) with no problem, I believe therefore it could also easily manage the JVC experio series as well. just thought I would mention that for those interested in videoscoping.In summary an excellent bit of kit and excellent value for money. One could say it does what it says on the box!!</blockquote>
