Hello

Hi

New to the site and just wanted to say hello. I have just brought from ebay an Arca Swiss 5x4. cant wait to start using it (although I'm not sure where to start) hopefully youtube will have some video tutorials.

I do have one question, the knob that moves the back panel along the mono rail is broken, does anyone know where I can get spares for an Arca Swiss?

Look forward to contributing to the site.

Have a good day
Marc

Welcome Marc. You might try Bob Watkins at Precision Camera Works—he is the authorized service center for Arca Swiss in the US. Are you in the US?

Thanks guys, I have already had some help in working with my lens, great forum indeed.

I have sent an email to Bob but no reply but I have called and emailed some pics of the problem to the loverly french chaps at Arca swiss Europe so fingers crossed.

Have a good weekend
Marc

Welcome Marc,

Where are you located and which Arca Swiss do you have? I also have one and just bought a front standard control but it's for the old Basic model.

If you have the same camera you are in luck ;-)

Cheers,

Johnny
