Quick Release for LS

[Corey F]

Being a new LS+ owner, I find myself thinking a quick release would be quite useful instead of having to unscrew the receiver from a prism pole. Who uses one? Which one do you use? Any likes or dislikes?

Not a plus user, just a regular LS, but I use a Leica QR adapter and like it a lot. I often drive between GPS points, and the adapter makes it easy for me to set the pole/bipod in the back and stick the LS behind the seat as I move through my points.

Corey, this was my solution. I still have relapses with being able to stand still. Equilibrium things.

LS Handle

A couple of folks have complained to me, that there was no handle for the LS. So, I have come up with this: top to Bottom, we have a plastic washer, then the Javad 1/4" to 5/8" adapter. Then, 2.5" billet (Blue), then the following adapter...

But, The handle works good.

I just started using these(see photo)
they work great and the unit sits flat on a table with them

Thanks for sharing. Wish I had seen this earlier. I've got the seco quick connectors and they work great but it doesn't sit flat as you describe and they run $130-150ish.

The only problem with it is the section that attaches to the LS comes lose and you have to keep retightening

Often with similar threaded problematic connections I wrap a small amount of surveyors' ribbon as a thread lock before assembling

Pic of the Seco one I use on the pole, a dashboard mount fastened to dash that locks the LS to the dash via the Seco stud, & pic of T1M base on roof of truck fastened with a quick release to a permanently attached mag roof mount. Very quick base setup.
Also made a desktop cradle that it locks the LS into place and is inclined to desktop reading position.

The Ulanzi one that pappassurveyor mentioned is LEGIT! Thanks for the advice!

I also got and it works great, it did loosen up on the LS plus side and I retighten and will try again, maybe some blue lock tight will be needed.
