    @@brian.durkee “The use of P-Tap cables to power accessories connected to the camera should be avoided, as the P-Tap's power pin may make contact before the ground pin and the accidental flow of current may damage the camera.” This was the reasoning for it but based on your response this couldnt or shouldnt be a problem if you follow the SDI protocol right?

  • @brian.durkee
    @brian.durkee4 ай бұрын

    She definitely hefty! If running all day with bigger lenses would recommend something’s bigger than mini max (atlas orions for example) otherwise minimax can get the job done! If need to run without easyrig you can just put on shorter rails smaller lens take of the extra handles and it’s pretty manageable!

    With loosening two knobs and unplugging cables you can pull just the body, battery and handle out in 30 seconds, then just take off the handles and it’s mountable!

  • @brian.durkee

    If you just unscrew the rosette part of the handle but leave the part that connects to the body on, you can technically switch to gimbal mode without use of any tools which is super nice

    I was thinking about making’s a raptor style handle from smallrig pieces but i couldnt figure out on how to attach the 4 rods to the backplate. The nato rail is a genius solution. Blew my mind. Get some tennis / baseball grip tape and wrap it around , it will be much more grippy . You can poke the screw holes and the arri pins with a metal rod afterwards.
