2024From a Facebook group: Arri Artemis Trinity
Adapting ARRI Trinity-Air docking fork to alternative dock systems; head-to-tripod collision in low mode due to fork proximity to baby pan.
What the thread found
- The ARRI Trinity-Air docking fork cannot be meaningfully adapted to alternative dock systems without one or two custom-fabricated parts.
- Adaptation is only feasible as a special fabrication job from ARRI or a qualified vendor.
- The underlying problem is that the Trinity head requires sufficient clearance between the dock socket and the tripod or baby pan when docking in low mode.
Depends on
- Clearance requirements depend on the specific tripod and baby pan configuration being used.
- Standard adapters are not available; solutions require custom parts fabrication.
