I am trying to figure out how to mount my calypso (1/4"x24) to my cage on my nightforce cfs (mlok/Pic) . Anyone have a solution?
Calypso mounting options (1/4"x24 to mlok or pic)
- Thread starter Raptorman2014
- Start date
Can then use threaded rod or a mini ball head and a coupler with rod to elevate it etc
Might take a look at their other products may have something better now.
Tag... Been thinkinging of RRS Beng 5. I know it's not what @Raptorman2014 brought up. But, looking myself for my setup, cause I also have the weatherdot.
Hope others chime in, so we can see what their running.

I went the ARCA route. Put an ARCA plate on the bottom of it and use an ARCA clamp on top of my spotting scope optics hub.
Think I found something that will work....

For multiple mounting solutions, I've gone to using these units made by Ulanzi.
The ball head units are great for aligning multiple items like a range finder to a spotter.
The small puck-like units are threaded and also fit ARCA.
The caps are interchangeable if you take a small round file and create detents for the ball. Note how they are in corners on the puck and on the sides with the ball head.

I have an optics mounting plate that my spotter or binos attach to a compact ball head, on the other side the plate I have a 24" extending carbon rod that I attach calypso so. Also have a phone mount to use for the calypso app to monitor the wind. I don't link my calypso to anything but my garmin watch or phone, as it's a non-ab unit.
Here is how it ended up.
Leophoto DC-12 that I drilled the threads out of so I could orient Calypso properly and then mounted a mlok ACARA rail to the cage.
