thats what i was thinking..

[Banthai]

the problem is that they are bent at right angles and during temperture changes the stress point of the bend could cause the angle to change very slightly .... which could cause a problem if being used in a RGB
setup, they could also exhibit a small amount of springyness that could be visible in the beam if the projector is subject to vibration

the ones from bridge are machined from solid Aluminium and have no stress at the angle

all the best .... Karl

Banthai the Beast is right.

Aluminum damps vibrations. That stamped steel stuff flexes and rings. I'd go with OSLS or Bridge. The OSLS ones have a radius at the bend that make them very stiff and they are black anodized. Black anodize gets really nice as you switch to higher power beams and it hides gunk. OSLS also makes a nice little three hole adapter plate that is very useful. Black anodize also adds resistance against "crush" if you over tighten a screw.

I'm not a native english speaker so I have difficulties expressing myself.

The aluminium ones are the perfect fit for the dichro mounts bridge is selling also.
