IMPORTANT!
VCT-SP2BP Product Update : PMW-EX3 Compatibility

June 2010 : A minor issue has been discovered when using the VCT-SP2BP Shoulder Support in conjunction with the PMW-EX3

• The diameter of the PMW-EX3 Tripod Hole is greater than the diameter of the VCT-SP2BP tripod screw –resulting in a degree of instability and camera wobble when used together.

• To solve this issue the factory have produced a plastic ‘spacer’ to be placed in the PMW-EX3 tripod hole and reduce the diameter.

• The ‘spacer’ will be supplied with the EX3 from Mid June.

• Customers who have purchased units shipped before Mid June can receive the ‘spacer’ via the normal service route if they are using or wish to use the two products together.
