Jim - Yes, there is, just as in the original Actus (non-geared). It is the only non-geared movement.

Bernard - thanks and you're welcome.


BTW - I updated the review so there is now pricing below the review at the bottom. And we have inventory on the shelf in Atlanta.

Hi Steve,
as i read the DB adapter are the same like the adapters from the WRS? How strong is the rear holder. It looks really thin without the adapter insert. Is there a mechanisms for accidentally open the rear DB adapter from the mount?
Thank you.

Hi Cyron -

Yes, the rear interface adapters are the same as for WRS series. While the rear frame does appear quite svelte, I wondered about this myself, but it does appear quite sturdy despite the appearance. I sensed no weakness. There is no lock to the mounting latches - as there are none for any of the tech cameras themselves from any manufacturer - but they are a little more accessible/exposed, so you'll have to be mindful when using it.
