When using it on a tripod, I would use the LX without the winder. It's a more
secure connection and less lever length to stress the connection. I once
mistakenly attached my LX, motor drive and A400/5.6 to a tripod using the
tripod mount in the motor drive rather than the lens' mount. (A case of brain
fade.) The weight of the lens ripped the motor drive apart.
