Jerry Hill Docking Bracket

[Charles King]

Hey Phil, was it you who got this docking bracket off of E-bay? I'm considering getting one. I tested it out a couple of years ago. I like it for it's ability to extend away from the balancing stand for when I do the spin balance.

[Phil Kindred]

I have one, but I didn't get it off E-Bay.  Haven't ever seen one there.  I got it directly from Jerry Hill.  It is a beauty!!

[Charles King]

How much was it?

[Phil Kindred]

$500 and worth every penny!

[Charles King]

thanks.

[Charles Papert]

probably worth mentioning that the docking bracket is $500 but that does not include the Gorelock or docking rings...quite a bit more for those.

[Charles King]

Thanks CP. So what's the total cost for the lot?

[Charles Papert]

close to $1000!

Expensive but I had test it so I know it would be worth it. Jus have to save up for it. Thanks CP.

I've been using it for years. On the odd occasion I have to use someone else's rig and it sort of shocks me how much effort is involved having to pull back and return the aircraft pin, or how insecure the rig sits in the dock (especially when mag or lens is removed and it tips to the side).

[Charles King]

So in short - It's worth it! Got it CP. Thanks.

I was able to use the fork I already have--just make a 1 inch insert.  One of these days, I may get the Gorlock.
Yes, definately work the price, Charles.

[Charles King]

Care to show me a pic of the 1 inch insert please Phil? Thanks.

[Phil Kindred]

I think I have one floating around but  here is one.  It is nothing more than a piece of 1 inch round aluminum 2 inches long with a hole drilled through it for a screw to hold the fork.  Seems to work pretty well.  But I'd sure like that Gorelock--new arm first.

Thanks phil
