I'm in a bit of a predicament here...
I just ordered an RDX 550 Housing, I already had an s90 outfit with the D4 grip stay to go with my inon strobes. I had thought(hoped) that the swith over of the tray would be simple enough - however now that its arrived I see that I lacked some foresight here.
The 3 base holes on the bottom of the tray do not line up with the housing - this leaves the grip stay tray held on rather precariously with one screw in the centre - not an immediate problem I thought as i could file the trays holes to get them aligned - not perfect but it'll do.
PROBLEM NUMBER 2: With the tray in place I attached the D4 arms - only to fins that the controls side doesn't have enough space to fit my hand through!!! And there is not enough space on either side to open the housing once the arms are in place!
Any suggestions on how I could possibly lengthen the tray - I stay on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic(Bermuda) without access to decent tool shops and also this makes getting stuff shipped here to put it right before my trip to the Galapagos next month!
This trip and the housing make the budget a bit tight to buy a complete new tray system but I think that may be my only option but even looking round the online u/w phot gear shops I'm not sure which tray would fix to the housing and allow me to attach my inon arms and ball joints????
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thnks in advance!
