Sixty centimeter rails on a Flyer-LE can create practical difficulties when transitioning between different shooting positions during a take
Position changes that require the operator to move from forward-facing to backward-facing configurations become more cumbersome when rails extend significantly beyond the back of the rig

The concern applies specifically to dynamic shots where the camera must rapidly transition between different body positions
The original inquiry involved a Sony EX3 with Brevis 35mm adaptor and relay, but the specific weight and balance impact of these components on rail length practicality was not fully explored
The discussion does not address whether 60cm rails would be problematic in stationary or slower-paced shooting scenarios
