Post diameter specifications for the Archer2 camera sled

What the thread found

  • The Archer2 sled has a nominal post diameter of 1.5 inches.
  • Standard 1.5 inch clamps will fit and work properly on the Archer2 post, though the actual dimensions may vary slightly from exactly 1.500 inches.
  • The top post of the Archer2 maintains consistent diameter measurements around 1.5 inches.
  • The bottom post of the Archer2 exhibits diameter variation, with measurements ranging approximately between 1.37 and 1.38 inches across multiple points.
  • For non-critical applications, a 1.5 inch collar or clamp is suitable for docking in low mode on an Archer2 sled.
  • When precision measurements are critical, direct contact with the manufacturer is recommended rather than relying on nominal specifications.

Depends on

  • The bottom post diameter shows measurable variance, suggesting manufacturing tolerance or wear variation.
  • Measurements using calipers on the bottom post produced slightly different results across multiple attempts, indicating either measurement technique difficulty or actual variance in post diameter.
  • The specifications appear to be nominal rather than exact, with actual dimensions potentially differing from the stated 1.5 inch specification.
  • One user reported that actual measurements were not precisely 1.500 inches despite the nominal specification.
