A question to Arca owners with a (geared) Orbix®.
How is the Orbix mounted to the standart frame? might it be possible to remove it ? Would the standart frame be destroyed?
The background for my question: For various reasons, I would like to mount (or have mounted by a machinist) a geared Orbix to my 1980 6x9 Arca. Arca do not sell the Orbix separately. I might try to buy a current F-line used. If it has Orbix, I might detach it, then sell the camera again. If it has no Orbix, I might have it retro-ftted and then "steal" it, then sell the camera without it. If the new owner wants Orbix, he, too, can have one retro-fitted.
Thank you!
