Adapter compatibility between Tiffen G-70 arm and VZ Pro gimbal

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

What the thread found

  • The Tiffen G-70 arm has 3/4 inch diameter posts while the VZ Pro gimbal uses 5/8 inch posts
  • Tiffen part number 800-7204-03 is designed as an adapter between G-70 and 5/8 inch gimbal connections
  • The standard adapter may have insufficient post length for proper fit with the VZ Pro gimbal
  • GPI previously manufactured delrin sleeves that could adapt different arm post sizes

Depends on

  • The adapter post length issue was reported but not fully resolved in this thread
  • Suggested workarounds such as contacting manufacturers directly were recommended but no final solution was documented
  • Information about alternative adapters from other manufacturers was mentioned but not detailed
