RRS Tripod Question

[Rockdoc173]

Is there a way to loosen the lever that secures the rifle inside the Anvil30? Not the ballhead lever (I know you can 'time' it), the small reversible lever. It seems just a little snug when hooking in my Sawtooth rails. All the Atlas ARCA adaptors I have from them are perfect, and I've used said rails on a different RRS tripod with no issues. But my TFCT34 is a bit tight. It is new so I suppose it could loosen up but Im not counting on it.

So I came up with a theory and a (sorta) solution. I think the bipod adaptors are easier because the lever is longer has slightly different geometry. So, to solve my issue (until I figure something better out), I just pulled the 2-screw Atlas mount off another gun and locked the pic rail in the ball head. Now I have an easier lever and its on the opposite side of the ball head lever which is how I prefer it. And even though the center of gravity is moved up a little, it's still PLENTY strong. I'll just leave the 2-screw adaptor in place and run off that instead of the ball head directly.
