Flyer LE sled connector types and power distribution for accessories

17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The top stage of the Flyer LE features a 3-pin FGG.0B.303 LEMO female connector for power and a BNC connector for video
  • Standard new Flyer LE rigs include a power cable converting from 3-pin LEMO to 4-pin XLR, though conversion from 4-pin XLR alone is sometimes simpler
  • The Flyer LE lacks power and video connections at the bottom of the post, which causes weight distribution problems and limits accessory placement
  • Potential custom solution involves tapping into the monitor cable multi-core with an 8-pin PRO LEMO breakout box to provide video and power outputs on the lower spar while maintaining stock compatibility
  • Operating RED cameras on a Flyer LE typically requires a remote follow focus unit and additional power cables to support video assist and wireless systems

Depends on

  • No images of the connectors were provided to verify appearance
  • The custom breakout box solution was still in development at the time of discussion and may not have been completed
  • Upgrading to larger rigs was noted as an alternative but falls outside the budget considerations mentioned
