When using the focus motor on this gimbal, the motor occassionally slips because the arca swiss plate only has the ability to attach to camera by one thread.  So, the lens would get pushed by the focus motor and then the system disengages.  There needs to be a better way of keeping the camera and focus motor secure, since the motor system attaches directly onto the swiss plate via m4 threads.  Maybe an updated Swiss plate with ability to mount with two points?

Hello there, thank you for your product feedback on the RS2. We will forward this suggestion to our engineers for further improvements. Could you also tell us the camera model and lens that you use? We will use it as reference to see any upgrade is needed, thank you!

Thank you for the reply, Wanda.

I have currently been using the BMPCC 6k with smallrig full cage.  The DJI arca swiss plate underneath has holes spaced slightly too close together to be able to mount two screws into a standard 1/4-20 cheese plate.  The lens that I am using is an Olympus OM photo lens with a standard .8 pitched gear ring attached for the follow focus to bite into.  The lens has hard stops.
