Monitor arm upgrade options for EFP equipment
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Several manufacturers produce monitor arms compatible with EFP camera posts, including models with dual telescoping capability and sliding bar versions.
- The XCS dual telescoping monitor arm is reported to work reliably over extended periods and offers good value.
- Using a monitor arm together with a sliding battery mount can help achieve dynamic balance on an EFP setup.
- The XCS monitor arm requires a Delrin spacer when mounted on the lower post stage due to a difference in post diameter between upper and lower stages.
Depends on
