Monter la caméra EX1 sur un Steadicam Pilot avec une plaque de sortie rapide Manfrotto cause des problèmes d'équilibre et d'accès
Il y a 15 ans. Le matériel et les prix ont peut-être changé depuis.
Ce que le fil a révélé
- Le EX1 est environ une livre plus lourd que le HPX170, qui est dans la capacité théorique du Pilot
- Mounting a Manfrotto quick release plate on the right side of the Pilot mounting plate creates significant right-side imbalance that requires compensatory weight on the left
- The tiedown lever on the Manfrotto quick release may require a full 180-degree rotation to lock, which can be difficult to achieve with limited space on the Pilot plate
- Repositioning the Manfrotto lever or using a riser plate underneath the quick release can provide sufficient clearance to operate the tiedown mechanism
- A spacer plate made from aluminum or steel approximately 1/4 inch thick, measuring roughly 1.5 to 2 inches wide, can be fabricated with basic tools like a hacksaw and drill to raise the quick release and improve ergonomic access
Dépend de
- The experience described is from 2011 and may not reflect current equipment designs
- One operator confirmed the EX1 setup works on a Pilot but did not provide detailed balance performance data
- The specific Manfrotto quick release lever design varies by model, so solutions may differ depending on which version is used
- No comprehensive testing or long-term reliability data is provided for the proposed riser plate solution
