Compatibility of Zephyr arm with Exovest and required adapter socket block

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

What the thread found

  • The Zephyr arm can be used with an Exovest by replacing the standard socket block with a smaller socket block designed for the Zephyr
  • A specific socket block adapter is available for mounting the Zephyr to the Exovest
  • The Zephyr paired with an Exovest forms a functional semi-professional package
  • Mounting hardware including screws and adjustment wing screws should be verified upon purchase, as some users received incomplete sets

Depends on

  • The Zephyr system is described as non-upgradeable and self-contained
  • Pricing information for replacement adjustment screws from the manufacturer can be expensive
  • Users should confirm that all required fasteners are included when ordering the socket block adapter
