Sobieski Posted March 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know what is the most suitable winder & handgrip option for the R5 please? I'd like a vertical release if possible. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Sobieski, Take a look here R5 winder & grip options?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mooky Posted March 31, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2009 There were 2 types of grip/handle options for the R4 to R7's. The earlier model had a mechanical release which was usable on the earlier motor and winder. The second had electrical contacts to match to the contacts on the second generation winder and motor. While it wasn't the greatest arrangement for a grip release, the second generation units were more comfortable to use. So, if you can, buy the second generation winder/motor and grip with the electric contacts and you'll have a better vertical release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobieski Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks - the later versions are seemingly pretty scarce - seems like it's gonna be a l-o-n-g search! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2009 Don't know if this is a 2nd generation one, but Ffordes are listing a used R4 winder+grip. Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobieski Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted April 9, 2009 Yes, Ffordes only have the earlier R4 versions - so no vertical release AFAIK. There are pelnty of R8 versions around, but I'm not upgrading just for a grip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
