The 2 holes in bottom of RB?

The Mamiya left hand grip/flash mount with shutter release fits into the three holes in the bottom plate. The centre hole is the normal screw mount. The hand grip has two pins that fit in the other holes, and these keep the camera from twisting out of alignment while mounted.

 

By pure coincidence, I have one available. I don't use it anymore. I was thinking of putting it on ebay, but if anyone here is interested, let me know.

The C series also has these holes. C220-C330 etc. On one of those I had a pin break off and rattle around in the hole. The entire bottom section of the camera was outside the main light case of the camera and came off with just a few small screws. This is not the case on the RB where I believe these holes are integral to the main metal body of the case. I use a gitzo plate on the bottom of mine that does not have the pins and I just tighten it very tight. The Gitzo also has a lock that engages so that the screw is unable to be turned when engaged.
