Buccos1 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've been messing around with grippers for years ... never really being that good at them. But, I've been spending some more time with it lately, trying some different things, and have noticed progress. For the last year, I've been a few mm off from a 2.5 (MMS), until last week, where I just missed it. Today, I did an unplanned attempt and FINALLY got it. Heard the "click" and was even able to keep it closed for a few seconds. I have almost no experience filming gripper closes, so the camera work wasn't that great. But it feels great to finally cross this one off the list! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
