Arca Swiss D4 Geared Head with RRS Lever Clamp Conversion & modification

I recently purchased a second hand arca d4 geared head with the lever plate

I found the lever to be over complicated, difficult to use and painful as the latch is sharp

I had a spare rrs lever plate and luckily the alignment pins were spaced the same but the holes were too large

I had a spare miniature bolt that fit and I just glued in place

Later I will add a second and securely glue them in place

Thanks to Rich Baum for the confirmation that this would work his channel and video is here

No I’m not paid by rrs, or arca but maybe I should 😜

Just a video of my own experience and preferences feel free to add constructive comments as I’d love to get a purpose made locator pin set made or buy?

Fyi I couldn’t care less if you like, subscribe or comment 😎
