Master Arm payload capacity and adjustability
What the thread found
- The Master Arm can support approximately 65 pounds at maximum before detuning and around 37 pounds at minimum, providing a roughly 25-pound adjustment range.
- Actual camera payload capacity depends on subtracting the weight of the sled and batteries from the total arm capacity.
- Payload availability increases when using lighter modern components like current lithium-ion batteries and compact monitors compared to older heavy nickel-cadmium batteries and larger monitors.
Depends on
- The exact specifications were noted informally rather than from official documentation.
- Payload capacity varies based on configuration choices including sled type, battery system, and monitor weight.
- Information is from 2016 and may not reflect current product specifications.
