GC2/HMT owners! Help needed. Accidentally sold GC2 with bottom plate attached.

[Gstmike]

Hello all. Was hoping one of you GC2/HMT owners could assist. I recently upgraded from GC2/HMT to Quad a few months back. Sold GC2 a couple months ago and forgot to remove that bottom plate that the HMT arm connects to. Forgot that was even on there. Just realized it when the purchaser of my HMT told me I didn't send it. I have already reached out to the person that I sold my GC2 to hoping that they can return it to me.
But in the meantime, I think one could fashion one of those plates out of wood or metal in a pinch.
Would one of you GC2/HMT owners be willing to provide the exact dimensions of that plate in case one needs to be made?
Length, Width, Thickness, and location of holes that mount it to the GC2 and the holes that the arm screws mount and any other pertinent info?

Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all.

I did this a couple of years ago. I was able to buy one from Foresight, though they may no longer have them.

I meant to take mine off and measure it for you this morning, but since it snowed last night, everyone was rushing about in panic this morning!!
I'll hopefully get a chance to do it tonight 👍

Really appreciate it. Whenever you get a chance. It turns out the guy that bought my GC2 is only a couple hours away from the guy that bought my HMT. But I haven't heard back from him yet. Still hoping I can get hold of him and just have him remove it and ship it directly to the HMT owner.

Thanks again!

I’ve taken it off, but it’s not a simple thing to measure. It’s like a wedge, so has a different width at one edge than the other.
I’m not sure how accurate I could be to be honest…

[Gstmike]

Really appreciate it. Could you maybe get these measurements (A through K)? And a few different pics of the plate from different angles?
Whenever you get a chance. I can assume the distances from the opposite side are the same.

Whenever you get a chance. I can assume the distances from the opposite side are the same.

Here are the dimensions you're looking for. Please bear in mind I am just measuring these with a steel rule, so they're probably only accurate to about ±1mm.
Also, the bottom side of the plate has a bevelled edge. I am measuring from the hard edge, not the bevel.

A: 121mm
B: 50mm
C: 12mm
D: 21mm
E: 9mm
F: 10mm
G: 21mm
H: 21mm
I: 10mm
J: 7mm
K: 3mm

I'll get some pics uploaded later.

Hope these help...

[Gstmike]

Thanks so much for doing this!
I am still hopeful that between Foresight and the purchaser of my GC2, someone will be able to provide that plate. But this will help tremendously.
If I may be so bold. When you get a chance. Can you maybe just take a couple pictures of the bottom of the GC2 without the plate, and then another of the bottom after you have reinstalled the it?
That should be enough to fashion something just in case.

Again, really appreciate your time. This forum is full of good folks like you willing to spend their own time to help others out. I try to do the same.

Thanks again!

[Gstmike]

Oh. And maybe just one last dimension. The diameter of these rubber feet.

[p3eps]

12mm for the diameter of the rubber foot.

Here’s some pics of the GC2 with and without the bracket fitted.

Let me know if you need any more 👍

[Gstmike]

Thank you!!!

Does anyone know how to use Lidar 3D scans on an iPhone? The iPhone's LiDAR scanner is accurate to within 1% and can create high-resolution models of small objects with an absolute accuracy of ± 1 cm. I've never used scanning apps, but this might be a good reason to try one out.

If someone can advise what app I need, I can easily try this!

Anyone got a solution to this at all? I desperately need a base plate.
