I recently acquired an Arca Swiss 4x5 Field from a forum member, and it came with the collapsable/folding monorail (30 cm total length) and short bracket. The rail has a T slot on the bottom.
My plan is to get a 30cm telescoping set with 15cm rails, which should extend to about 45cm. For longer extension when needed, I was hoping to use the current collapsable/folding rail as a 30cm replacement rail for one of the 15cm rails, leaving the other 15cm rail on the bracket. For transport, both standards would be moved onto the 15cm rail, which would then be removed from the bracket. Will this work, as long as the telescoping set has the newer, "Monorail II" style rails, and not the older style rails (which apparently are not as tall, and do not have a T slot on the bottom)?
I guess another way to phrase the question is, does the collapsing/folding rail have exactly the same height and cross section as the newer "Monorail II" rails?
Thanks
Bob
