Mounting security is paramount. There are several pro mounting options for the male quick release plate:
Female ARRI style mount
Male ¼ 20 ARRI style mount (3mm pins are removable and storable within the plate)
NATO rail
¼ 20 or ⅜ 16 receiving threads
¼ 20 or ⅜ 16 mounting bolts
Any of the above options combine with a centralized M4 set screw
The female Mini Lock receiver also received new mounting options. The receiving ⅜ 16 threads are now deeper for more security. Removable 3mm anti-twist ARRI style pins can also be added in either orientation. The outer profile continues to be compatible with KONDOR BLUE’s range of anti-twist cradles as well. Stainless steel mounting hardware for all the mentioned configurations is included with the kit.
Because of the tiny footprint of the Mini Lock, achieving tight tolerances is critical for secure locking. The safety latch—which still features its unique ability to stay fixed when open—now features an integrated M4 nylon tip set screw. Using the included 2mm hex tool, a user can fine tune the plate-to-plate fit by simply adjusting the set screw. The nylon tip smoothly glides along the surface of the male quick release plate removing any potential play, all without marring the surface.
Each line, cut, and engraving has carefully been considered to enhance the reliability of Mini Lock. Available in a variety of colorways, the KONDOR BLUE Mini Lock System is the perfect solution for mounting crucial cinema accessories.
