three tips, one: to assemble this, put the rail clamp onto the tripod, then add rail, then std's onto this, that way you don't have such a heavy thing to heft around; Two, to add a copal shuttered lens onto this, FIRST remove the DB shutter!!, it has an aperture lever to control this on the lens, it is interfering with the lens board mounting! ; three, you dropped the tension screw for the standard, and didn't have it locked down!, you NEED to, as any downward tilt of the rail, the standards will flail all over the shop!!
