    Skytrak threaded holes

    Does anyone know what the threaded holes on the base of the unit are all about? Are they planned for anything in the future?

    I thought they were for a tripod mount - but, just tested this theory and the thread pitch does not match.

      It's almost certainly a mount, if they've made it different to the standard camera mount then that's a bit silly although not hard to get something that would fit.

        I can't see why you'd ever want to put it on a tripod, unless you were hitting off a raised platform or something?
        Just wondering if I was to make a case whether to use these to hold the unit steady and true?

          I was thinking more like a weighted base if it's windy outside etc.

          Saying that, I wonder if it was on some sort of small tripod and sat slightly further away whether it would widen the field of view so could capture a wider area. Like for a range session on grass, so you could hit 10 shots before having to move it to set the laser again. Like I think with GC2, you can use it on grass and don't need to move it after each shot/ divot.

            They're there for leveling purposes. Japan SkyTrak sells screws for those to adjust unit's 'tilt' and 'roll'. Don't know why US SkyTrak doesn't just include 3 screws with each order?
