Revised Perspective

Like many others I had found this indexing rotator to be good but the tactile feel of the index to be a bit weak. I have used it for about three years and has worked fine for my needs. What changed my perspective is that I have cleaned it with spray electronics cleaner and lubricated with a couple drops of 3in1 oil. What a difference. It has a very solid click in each of the indexes now, just lightly snug the indexing screw. I would have giving it five stars if it had been cleaned at the factory. Now it works fantastic.

Well built

Solid build. top and bottom pan. There is a learning curve, how tight to set the index screw for a nice click feel and sound. I'm happy with it. Does what I expected.

question

But can the 1/4 - 20 lug on top be taken out and then a 1/4 -20 screw be screwed into it from the top? I guess what I'm asking is if the hole on top is threaded.
Asked by: Anonymous
The Rotator has a standard 1/4 male thread and it is not designed to take that out and be used direct with a male thread.It is 3/8ths female thread any way.

question

Does the center 1/4 x 20 lug come out of the top? I'm asking because I have panoramic system consisting of rails that I would mount to the top of this, but there is only an unthreaded hole on my bottom rail and the screw would need to screw into this rotator from the top, just like the Nodal Ninja rotators work.
Asked by: Anonymous
The 1/4 -20 attachment is a bushing adapter and is removable. The thread mount on the Sunwayfoto DDP-64M Indexing Rotator is 3/8 -16.
