Hi guys,
I received the Ti 45 mm clips and split rings yesterday. I have put together a new price list that includes these for the clip dealers and e-mailed it off to them a little while ago. Obviously it will take time for these to become available.
I have included a warning about the small split rings in the price list and I hope this will avoid problems I expect that will arise anyways.
I too preer access to these small split rings even though they have obvious limitations so I will leave it to dealers to extend availablity to others.
Here is the new "line up":
Below is a shot of the split rings and you can see the permenant deformation in a small ring that was mounted on the Ti 26 which unfortunately does have a thick section that has to be straddled in the installation. I put a couple of these small split rings on the web bails on my Nikon D70 and they are perfect for my needs. I have a Nikon strap that I put the Ti 45 clips on each end and these in turn clip to the small split rings. I desire a quick mount and dismount with the camera strap as I usually don't use it. Thanks to the nesting "x" bend in the split rings, even if they are deformed with a bit of a gap, the ends are still reasonably protected against unwanted snags.
As an aside, I hope to see if I can mill an H3 slot in a couple of the Ti 45's for my personal use but this will not be an option available through me!! :green: I tried to get the factory to quote a version of the clip with a slot in place but they passed and I can't blame them. The large split ring on the Ti 45 has now become my default key ring and clip set up. On my scooter key ring, I installed the mail box key on a small Ti split ring along with a Ti 26 and this is a child to the parent large split ring. I can leave the scooter running and unclip the mail box key when I check the mail. Works cool for me!
