Originally posted by biz-engineer There is some forward / backward adjustment possible on the arca-swiss plate used on the gimbal, but there wouldn't be enough range for a Sony A7 or A9.
What? You mean for adapted lenses? There are extended Arca Swiss plates if you want to put a Big Canikon lens on a gimbal or ball head with your A7 or A9.. Ive had to use them on my K5 before. You have to sometimes do that anyway on the same system. A Canon 5d 810 g Canon 1Dx 1340g.
Sony A9 is 588g so by that logic the Sony A9 is better suited for lenses designed for Canon 5D than the 1DX because the difference in weight is 222g less than the 5D, whereas the Canon 1dx is 530g more than the 5d.
Handheld I still maintain if you use good technique it doesn't matter what camera you use. If you need to use a Gimbal/Tripod with a $3000 dollar adapted lens a $50 plate seems trivial.
