Best cross bar for nauticam Housing Sony A7r5

Featured Replies

Hi All,

I have recently bought a Weefine WED 5 Pro from Alex Tattershall - UWvisions (excellent service) and I'm looking for ideas of the best way to attach it to my housing.

I have a cross bar, which I bought ages ago but it's too big and doesn't fit. Can anyone recommend a cross bar that would allow me to fit it to the housing but still use the nauticam fabric handle?

The photo attached is just for illitration and I won't be attaching like this in future.

I have thought either a cross bar or 2 small arms with a triple ball mount.

Thanks

John

This is a situation where some sort of mount fabricated to fit on a rigid float arm might be an option, especially since the monitor is quite negative.

How much freedom of movement do you need?

I certainly could look at attaching. A rigid float arm to the centre of the rig and then the monitor above, if that's what you mean.

The monitor is negative 260g, which I can compensate for quite easily.

I think I need to play about with the few ideas, but that may very well work. Thanks

Is there any sort of mounting point on the back of the monitor? Or I guess to short float arms to a triple clamp could work.

Just trying to think of ways which then don't need even more flotation to compensate for.

I just use a single standard clamp to the third ball mount on my housing, but it looks as if yours has two "inner" ball mounts. I have a braided handle that attaches via shackles to the holes on the back of that upper plate.
