Low mode bracket installation and securing the rod against rotation

12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • When a low mode bracket rod spins freely after undocking the rig, it indicates the rod is not properly locked to the bracket
  • A correctly installed low mode bracket should have both a pin through the bracket and post, and a set screw to prevent the rod from rotating
  • Installing the bracket upside down causes the rig to fall back toward the operator after undocking

Depends on

  • The thread does not specify the bracket model or whether all low mode brackets use the same locking mechanism
  • Only one example of the upside-down installation issue is documented
