Mounting RRS SC-LR clamp to Uniqball Ballhead

[kthomas]

I recently got a RRS SC-LR clamp for my Uniqball gimbal ballhead, and I absolutely love it! It's a very well designed and manufactured piece.

The problem I'm encountering is getting it properly mated to my Uniqball Ballhead (I know, different manufacturers). The problem I'm having is that the "anti-slip" slots (for lack of a better word), are not the same diameter. This allows the clamp to turn slightly side to side when putting any torque on it, or swiveling the rifle + ballhead on the horizontal plane.

You can see the "key" on the Uniqball head is about ~0.060" thinner then the slot on the RRS clamp.

Any ideas on what the best way to remedy this is? I'm sure there's an easy fix, curious to hear your ideas. I want the make this combo work as I love it (aside from the slipping).

You could "bed" the slot with steel puddy, might be a little more permanent than you want but it'd fit the lug on the ballhead
