For connecting ARRI camera bridge plates directly to OConnor 1040 and 1030 model fluid head platforms.

It includes a lower dovetail that slides into the lower platform of the 1030/1040 fluid head, an upper dovetail for cameras fitted with ARRI standard bridge plates for a simpler overall lower profile setup and incorporates a new ‘easy load’ saftety latch.
