Some people asked why can’t the hamster be tilted. Well, this comes from the principle of the whole mechanism. I didn’t want to make another traditional forend, the point of this design is to be able to adjust the hamster height very quickly and in a comfortable way.
However, I can assemble the Gearbox forend so that the lower gear is rotated by 12° so the hamster can have a decent tilt that some shooters prefer, but it will keep that tilt angle constantly.
But I was afraid that this was not really what people wanted to hear so I gave another thought to the question. You ask, I design. And now I can proudly present the Gearbox Duplex:
As you can see, the tilt angle can be adjusted continuously, with another handle at the lower section. Once adjusted, the whole palm shelf elevates with the other handle and keeps the angle. The system is compatible with most Rowan Engineering’s adapters (see the mounting block with the thumb screw on the 3D-visuals).
