Slow day at the office

Had a bunch of free time this week. Went out into to garage and came up with this:
I do not need 7.5 degrees or 1 degree of adjustment. 90 degrees does me just fine. I do not like twisting a knob to open and close the upper rotator. Flip the lever, rotate the camera, flip the lever back. Done. This is not an original idea, just a different application.
Disclaimer: No M1 pano heads were modified during this exercise. This rotator is completely bolt on.

Hi Dennis,
Once again a nice design from you to let the equipment serve your personal needs.
What a pity that your garage is not around my corner 
Regards,
Heinz
BTW: How does your LR rail stop work? A small plate inside the bottom of LR fixed by visible screw on Top stopping against the clamp's side?

Heinz,
Follow this link to see all the mods I have made in addition to a new upper rotator.

The lower rail stop works great.
I am actually just around the corner, if you consider a 12 hour flight "around the corner".
Dennis
