This set allows for easy and quick switching from the cage or rig to filming on a tripod, thanks to the tripod adapter. Additionally, the set includes the walimex pro Cable Guard, which protects cables and connectors during use. Both accessories are developed and manufactured in Germany. Defective connectors and cable connections are a thing of the past. Whether it's USB, flash synchronization, or HDMI connections, the Cable Guard protects these sensitive areas from damage caused by cable strain. One or more cables can be easily threaded through and secured with two knurled screws. The cables are protected from damage by a rubber pad on both sides. This pad also allows for the securing of cables of various thicknesses. The cable protection can be flexibly attached to the cage using two 1/4 inch screws. Like all accessories in the Aptaris system, the cable protection has also been developed and manufactured in Germany, characterized by the highest quality of workmanship. This product also uses extremely lightweight and durable aerospace aluminum. The tripod adapter enables you to easily and quickly reposition your camera in the cage from the rig to the tripod. You only need to screw the tripod plate of your camera tripod onto the adapter. The Aptaris tripod adapter offers the same mount as the Aptaris rod module, making it compatible with the Aptaris Universal XL, Universal XL Mk II, and Universal Frame. Attaching your tripod plate to the Aptaris tripod adapter is done as usual using 1/4 or 3/8 screws.
