Dear David
Thanks for your contribution.
I don't want to "pollute" this thread, but there are some more options available, when it comes to handgrips for the STC, namely the rotatable handgrip (add-on handgrip left/right, available in rosewood natural and in black).
Shown in the pictures is the alternative with release cable, with or without STC handgrip.
The rotatable grips can be set in over 20 securely locked positions by loosing one single screw. In this position and with the viewfinder one can shift vertically up by 18 mm (18 mm vertically down on the backside).
The viewfinder can obviously as well be mounted on the side, allowing for rise/fall shifts simultaneously
These handgrips are not displayed currently in the Alpa catalog of products, but some are available from stock and can be manufactured any time.
Best regards
Thierry

(b) the somewhat smaller size and weight of the STC and shape of its wood grip make it easier to get a secure hold and IMO more pleasant to work with. I can remove the camera from its case and mount it with no fear of dropping it. I must say here, though, that my trusted Arca dealer Walter Borchenko recently provided me with an optional grip extension which has made the Rm2d much easier to handle. Highly recommended.
