C200: Top Handle Screw Alternative?

[1027Films]

Is there any way to replace the little bolt on the handle for an easier alterative to removing and attaching the C200 handle quickly? I'd try a second thumb screw, but I can just see that that wont fit in that spot.

Try the single thumb screw alone without the second bolt and see how comfortable you are - I found it wasn't too bad.

FWIW, when I was using the stock handle on the C200 (I now have the fancy Zacuto wood and metal handle that attaches to the Zacuto Top Plate via NATO Rail, but used the stock handle for 2 years), I always attached it to the camera only using the
single bolt with the circular handle and even with a ton of Gak and heavier lenses, the whole thing felt totally secure and solid. On the Canons, I think the second bolt is a bit more
secure but it's always such a PITA to attach and remove (especially on our C300 MKII), many forsake it and just use the single bolt.
