I've seen bullnosed set-screws used instead of keys.
Should be 2 90* apart when that style is used.

Why not get the right sized square key and only use the Allen to lock it into place?

No, Kristi took those with her Nikon DSLR.

Never seen a bull nose screw. Had to look it up. I use the set screws with the serrated tip.

We usually sell the yokes with a square head set screw. That way you can really tighten it on the key and shaft. Also makes it easier to get out instead of trying to remove a seized set screw.

Sure makes it easier to replace stuff that breaks though. We ran them on all our PTO shafts to equipment.
