These thumbscrews were custom made with the Cinelux DSMC mounts and adapters in mind.
But they were also designed to be compatible with the RED DSMC EF & PL lens mounts & provide a easier method of attaching them to DSMC1, DSMC2 & Ranger Cameras
These thumbscrews were specifically designed for Cinelux DSMC mounts, adapters, and RED DSMC lens mounts. The main goal during development was to maximize both strength and usability. Crafted from SS17-4 PH Stainless Steel, a material with the highest shear force that can still be machined in such a small form factor, these thumbscrews are significantly stronger than the standard screws found on DSMC 1 and 2 lens mounts.
The thumbscrews are designed to work best with captive RED DSMC lens mounts, where the screws are securely held within the mount itself. While most RED mounts are of the captive type, some earlier versions were not.
The thumbscrews feature knurled grips for easy and quick lens swaps. By tightening the built-in knurled thumb grips, the lens can be securely mounted to the camera. Additionally, the thumbscrews include T20 Torx inputs, identical to the standard RED mount screws, ensuring the tightest possible fit when using a T20 Torx bit.
The kit comes with all components below:
The thumb screws should work on most RED DSMC lens mounts, but currently has been tested on the ones below.
