Does anyone know if the Torus 26 slot bands and screw holes are compatible with a Halcyon SS backplate?
I tried emailing DSS, but all I got back was rude content and zero information. Really not a good way to run a business.
Not true. I answered your question........twice. Providing an answer that's other than you expect is not rude, it's simply the truth.
What I know for a certainty is DSS wings work best with DSS plates... beyond that things get problematic.
I have no way of knowing what level of compatibility *YOU* expect. Throw me most any wing and most any plate and I can probably find a way to make them work, but "It can work" does not equal every customers idea of "Compatible"
What if the cam strap holes don't line up perfectly? It probably possible to force them through the wing, but will that make *you* happy?
What if when the cam strap slots line up the holes in center spine don't? Will you be satisfied, or will that result in a dozen emails and panicked forum posts?
What if the built in "wobble stopper" found on DSS wings works less well on a plate with a different center channel profile? Will you be happy with that?
Remember, we don't test every 3rd party plate with our wings.
Remember too that many (most?) plates sold today have been subject one or more revisions, meaning we may have never see the plate you plan on using. When other brands make a change they don't send me a memo.
I even had people tell me I have a brand XX plate, and it turns out that they really don't, but the guy that sold it to said it was a genuine Brand XX.
Keep in mind that there are no standards for BP&W's none. There are endless possible variations. What one customer considers "OK" another may consider unacceptable.
Sorry if that's not the simple yes or no answer you wanted, but it reality, I can't say if *you* will find a franken rig to your liking.
I'd much rather say "I don't know" than to have you buy something and be unhappy.
