Compatibility of AR system with camera rigs other than Mk-V
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The AR system requires its own motorized monitor mount and includes two additional motors in the cage that need power from the sled and software control signals routed through the sled
- Integrating AR electronics onto a different sled model is complex due to challenges in component placement for sensors and control boxes
- Someone successfully adapted an AR system to an XCS rig, but this adaptation was built using Mk-V architecture and required substantial technical expertise
- Installing AR on a non-Mk-V rig is considered difficult to impossible for someone without specialized technical knowledge and familiarity with the system
Depends on
- The adaptation to XCS was a custom project and not a proven general solution
- No clear technical specifications provided for what would be needed to port the system
- Discussion based on practical experience rather than manufacturer documentation
