Why do we have different extension lengths?
Different extension lengths are a key part of this collection because it allows camera operators to build out the handles to the specific needs of the job and camera. The smaller kits and extensions ensure that you can build a handle for a smaller camera like a Sony FX3, but also add the 1″ or 3″ for something like a RED KOMODO.
When would you use one extension compared to another?
This really boils down to how you want to use these handles, for example, the 1″ extension might not make a huge difference to someone handling a Sony VENICE, but for the in-action filmmaker shooting the DC Tour, the 1″ extension at the front of the handle will allow them to hit angles on the fly that would otherwise be more difficult to get.
What do the extensions attach to? How do they attach?
The extensions of this collection are designed to attach to the back and front of the other pieces for maximized customization. The pieces are attached using ⅜»-16 connection, which is the industry standard. All extensions can also attach directly to a cage in any of the ⅜»-16 holes with anti-twist location pin holes.
Due to the standard ⅜»-16 with anti-twist pins, the handles can mount to the sides or top of any of the other handles to add to the configuration possibilities.
Can you combine extensions?
Yes, combining the extensions adds to the other lengths that might be needed. Combine two 1″ extension for a 2″ handle, or add a 1″ extension to the 3″ to get a 4″ handle. We welcome users to experiment and mount this system in ways beyond its original design.
