Product description
The Walimex Pro Aptaris Video Rig System The Sony VG-900 offers the greatest flexibility in a twist. With the Aptaris Cage you have the Sony VG-900 always firmly under control. The tripod has a few 1/4 inch and two 3/8 inch threads. This provides space for additional accessories. When the accessory is installed, the screen can be unfolded without any problems. The Sony VG-900 can be converted to a shoulder camera in the shortest possible time thanks to the rod, handle and shoulder module. The Aptaris Cage is suitable for commercially available cameras where the flash shoe and the tripod thread lie on a line and if the camera does not exceed or fall short of the inside dimension of the cage. Aptaris can then be attached to the respective camera with the help of the flash shoe and the camera screw.
A great advantage of the Cages is that it is height-adjustable. To prevent slipping, two hooks are attached to the camera plate. These hooks can be adapted to the respective camera. Through the threads you can attach some accessories to the tripod such as microphones or lights. The handle is adjustable and you can attach it at the top, bottom or side. This makes it possible to make films close to the floor. Since the adapter plate has a Manfrotto PL501 standard, the Aptaris can be mounted on a tripod from Manfrotto. No matter what you install at the Aptaris, access to the battery or the memory card is always free.
