I sent Ernie bishop an email hasn’t got back to me yet . Is there a way to adapt an arca to the Seb joypod?
I have one , just was curious would it bolt in to the joypod , or do I need the pic rail to bolt to the arca and then to the joypodI’d check out Area419 Arcalock.
Awesome thanks for the input, I’ll have to get measurements when mine comes !Looks like two options are possible. Easiest way is arca clamp with pic adapter through area 419. Second would be removing pic clamp from joypod and make adapter that would bolt in place then you can bolt arca clamp to it. This would be pretty easy also just 2 countersink holes to joypod and 2 thread holes for arca clamp, this would would be lower in overall height.
Yes, I have ARCA Heads for the JOYPOD on hand.I sent Ernie bishop an email hasn’t got back to me yet . Is there a way to adapt an arca to the Seb joypod?

Sorry for not responding.
I have been this week
Thank you John!
Yeah to me that fixes both issues and makes it more universal for everyone . Awesome work Seb! But in the mean time I’d like to purchase the Arca adapter for the joypodx.Experimenting with "double duties" (two in one) picatinny and Arca attachment.
I could probably make it as standard in the future?
The picatinny piece with T-slots, if it's still required, I have to make it a bit taller (about 1,5- 2mm taller) to be able to use it, assuming the foreend bottom is flat.
Also that I have to make the attachment to accept most aftermarket Arca because some seems to be smaller than standard. *(See the gap between the main part and the clamping plate, it would allow to grip the smaller Arca)
What do you think?

The experiment bellow, I want to keep it to be as alight as possible.

The detail. Alum 7075 is used on any parts that need to be stronger.
