Thanks to the Tripod Adapter, this set allows you to easily and quickly switch from cage or rig to filming on a tripod. Furthermore, the set includes the walimex pro Cable Guard, which protects cables and sockets in use. Both accessories are developed and manufactured in Germany. Defective sockets and cable connections are a thing of the past. No matter if USB, flash sync or HDMI connection: The Cable Guard protects these sensitive places from defects caused by pulling the cable. One or more cables can be easily passed through and fixed with two knurled screws. The cables are protected from damage by a rubber pad on both sides. This support also allows cables of different thicknesses to be fixed. The cable protector can be flexibly attached to the cage via two 1/4 inch screws. Like all accessories of the Aptaris system, the cable protector was developed and manufactured in Germany. It is characterized by the highest quality of workmanship. Extremely lightweight and durable aerospace aluminum is also used for this product. The tripod adapter allows you to easily and quickly move your camera in the cage from the rig to the tripod. All you have to do is screw the tripod plate of your camera tripod to the adapter. The Aptaris Tripod Adapter provides 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.
