Mounting DBII camera stage directly to EFP MK-V carbon fiber post without Pro electronics box

What the thread found

  • DBII can be mounted directly to an EFP sled with MK-V carbon fiber post using the existing mounting holes without requiring the Pro electronics box as an intermediary
  • The mounting hole positions are identical between the old EFP top stage and the DBII, allowing direct replacement without modifications
  • Users have successfully operated DBII on MK-V carbon fiber posts with the EFP electronics box mounted separately on the diving board extension

Depends on

  • Only reported on MK-V 1.5 inch carbon centerpost configurations
  • Limited number of user reports available
